Aurora, Oh.
So we needed a trans blanket for the latest project and I have used the universal RCI ones in the past. So I look up the price on Summit website and they cost 137.99. Actually went to the store to get this and a few other items and they ring up the blanket at 279.99!!!!! [ Moparts Family Site - Keep it Friendly ]. So I say it's listed on line at 137.99 and he checks and it is so they sell it to me at that price - this was yesterday and he said they did not change the price on line to show the increase. Today look at my catalog they send and it's listed at 279.99 and then check on line again and it is 279.99. Why double the price????? Getting crazy panic


What items are next or already increased that we do not know of since we may not be shopping for it now?

If there was a manufacture increase, It would be nice if they had to sell existing stock at the old price instead of making bank! I could see maybe a 3 to 10%, but a hundred dollars????? [ Moparts Family Site - Keep it Friendly ]. I guess that pays for some free shipping.

Supply and demand, lower the demand by not buying one, or up the supply by designing an alternative, etc, and they will lower their price,, or go under. Great system. Next.

Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

Regulations my man, Regulations. Look at how many more are made each year, you have to comply.
