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.

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.



Oooooooooooooops Nevermind. Still there is normally remarkably high
mark up on inexpensive products.
