Very prophetic. I just went on the AMD website and I couldn't find a listing for '65 B-body quarters of any flavor and the patch panels were listed but out of stock.

Pricing Notice
To all customers:

As you know issues related to the supply chain are affecting all aspects on business and daily life. Inflation, product shortages and labor problems are all in play. Many materials are in short supply, and when available have dramatic price increases. Shipping and product movement is severely backed up with container prices rising over 500%. Labor issues have also compounded the problem.

AMD and its manufacturing partners have tried but can no longer absorb the ever increasing costs of doing business. Therefore, prices will increase effective the end of day, October 31, 2021.

Thank you for your continued support and know that we will make ever effort to reduce prices when and where possible.

Sincerely,

Mark Headrick, President

I was at the Harley shop yesterday and looked at the price tag of a floor model. On a separate line it said something like "Material Acquisition Fee - $1,499.00" I asked a salesman wth that meant and he said since Harley has to pay a premium for some of the components to build a bike, they are passing the add'l material cost along to the buyer. But since it is a separate line item, it can be adjusted down. Or up. On this particular bike it added ~7 or 8% to the list price. Plus they bumped up the shipping cost by $200. First time that I have seen anything like this.

Maybe that means those of us wanting to work will get paid better.

Fat chance the tooling will leave the Asian partners, so you'd need retooling...that along with all the other "Made in America" attributes needed, that will result in triple or quadruple prices, then the Mopar cheap a$$es won't buy it because GoodMark or Golden/Goldstar "offer it "cheaper"......

Damn I was out of the loop. Wish I could have got some 71 demon 1/4s while they were still available.
