Do you suppose they are making any money at $9.99. I suppose yes. So
normally $12.00 more seems a bit like a bit of gouging. I understand
they are a specialty retailer so need to have bigger margins to cover
the lower volumes and high cost of holding rare inventory for long
periods but this confirms to me that their a bit out of line on
pricing quite often.

I have a lot of fun near my home where a Harbor Freight is 20 feet
away fom Rockler.


I have to say, if they are making money at $10, regular price at $12 is
not price gouging. They do have insurance, inventory, brick and mortar,
and employees to pay.

You save $12.00 the regular price is $21.95.

Seriously, I highly suspect that at $10 they are still making 500% mark
up and still not price gouging. You don't have to buy it, if it were
something you could not live with out, then maybe price gouging.
