Re: Post your C/L finds for everyone to enjoy!

There are lots of factors involved in prices going up.

First probably the "saw one like it se;; for _______ on a TV show syndrome. Some of those guys on shows seem to pay way above regular market value for a lot of stuff.

Right now, the lack of people working due to restrictions makes everything hard to get. A well known rod shop owner who manufactures some popular products was saying the other day that the job shop machine shop is having a hard time getting the basic materials that they make some critical pieces of one kit out of. That is just steel plate and round rod.

Fuel costs drive the price of everything up. Especially if you live out where Vintovka does. Where the rest of us dream of going on vacation to but where just about everything they get comes in on a minimum 4 or 5 hour truck ride.
