    price rises.....I think 2 weeks ago I mentioned the price increase on Wildpeaks from $210 to @320each.

    yesterday my indy tried to get a pair for me at ring a round best price of $360ea an increase of $40 in two weeks.....explained away by new shipment.

    I should have bought them 2 wks ago in hindsight plus a couple cartons of suds.

    it must really **** the retailers off never being able to hold a firm price on goods.

    A bit off topic,but try quoting smallish jobs,that is less than $1M,its very difficult in todays market.

    Not only changing prices from suppliers,but also the availability and delays on supply of equipment is a huge issue.

    (Over $1M are jobs not for us.)

    I am of the opinion that many of these price rises (including fuel) are simply "Gouging" by various individuals and companies and I think that prices will "Settle" to a more reasonable level when people simply won't or can't afford to buy the products at the inflated prices and it starts to affect the turnover (profits) which will equal a lesser demand which will eventually equate to a lower price at the till.
