Ok? It's exactly like how oil and gas prices worked. The cost to produce has increased so much over the years, yet the product price has not increased as much as the cost, that manufacturers take any chance they can to recoup their profit margin. Which is why I said that the last few months are not a good indicator of the big picture here.

I never thought their prices were that good. Then they single handily caused the run in 2008 by SPIKING their prices on election night. They used to have a "You save $X.XX" on each item. On election night, things would say "You save -$9.00"

That's funny, because I have never done business with any of those stores that are charging ridiculous prices because they have always been shitty.

I'd put money on this said item never going below $25 regular price again. Everyone said prices would drop after 2008, they never did. Look, we have bought in bulk for about 30 years now as a family. This shit happens every few years and the prices never go back down. It used to be cheaper to reload your own shotgun shells (by a lot). Then the prices of reloading materials spiked in the late 90's, and it was cheaper to buy basic ammo than it was to reload basic ammo.

What retailer has it for $90? No store I go to has it for $90.

Most of the materials jump in cost has been since 2006, then the crash in 2009, then a jump again beginning in 2010. What are markets?

Penn State. At night. Last weekend in October. Fucking sick!

Those same small dealers have always gouged. Not sure how you have a different gripe now than you would have 6 months ago, 2 years ago or 10 years ago?

No, the point is that prices have been going up forever, and they will keep going up forever. The cost of materials has outpaced the increase in prices over the past 15 years. Trying to base your economic argument over a time period of 6 months has got to be one of the dumbest things I have ever heard.

That brick has gone up 68% from what I saw it last year. What part of "ammo prices have been going up forever" did you not understand? Most retail prices are up about 40-70% Prices are up 300% since you joined CR, but the cost of materials have gone up more than that in that time frame

Copper costs 214% of what it did in 2005 Zinc costs 175% of what it did in 2005 Lead costs 275% of what it did in 2005 and $60-$90? I havent seen anything in a store over $35. Your small independent guys are trying to rip people off. Your large dealers are getting costs passed down to them by the manufacturers.

Re-edited rerun billed as new? Wtf

The third sure thing in life after death and taxes is ammo prices rising. I remember when I used to buy bricks for under $12 Pretty sure there was a time when I got them under $10 as well

Locking metal cabinets I get from garage sales and office sales

Goofy like what? 1000 lbs of mulch and a bed full of dirt it didn't look like a baja truck if that is what you are asking.

My phone got water damage, so I had to use my wife's upgrade to replace mine since I use it for work. This wouldn't be a problem except her phone doesn't have much longer to live. She currently has a Samsung Exhibit 4g, the Exhibit I. Anything comparable or a slight upgrade would be nice. Wanna stay under $150 Let me know what you got

That's the 2.5" kit that does 2" is level

Nice truck, be sure to throw a 2" TGC level on it http://www.topguncustomz.com/p-6466-tgc-2-07-13-gmcadillac-1500-pickup1500-suv-front-leveling-lift-spacers.aspx

They definitely sell some decent solid wood pieces. I also have one of those Simmons chair and a half recliners from there, it's pretty nice

Speculation? It's a known fact

My dad and I talked about this pretty in depth yesterday. We both agree that the guy walking around the gun show with a gun to sell is COMPLETELY different than the guy who has the same booth with 30 guns at every gun show. I think a big problem is that they need to crack down on dealers who are not following the laws to be actual dealers. Requiring everyone who gets a booth at a gun show to perform background checks would really crack down on these "dealers".

Shooting yes. Riding near the road with 2 guns exposed and people cutting through to get to 16 or Dresden, different story

It was most likely people cutting through from 541 and 79 to get to 16.
