    OUCH 40%! It dosent matter much as they are always out of stock anyway. The price increase should help fill their shelves .

    It was bound to happen the value of the dollar has been dropping for some time - materials and COL have risen in proportion to the drop in the value of the dollar.

    More Federal Reserve Notes less value for each.

    They raised their price $50 per set. As it turned out that happend to be %40.

    I would not raise my price %40 only the extra few dollars now it costs me to purchase the dies. At the moment I am happy with my offered prices. I'll have to see how it cuts into the pocket book but if I did raise my rate it would only be about $25.

    If anything their raise in cost should make my offered prices look better to you guys I would think. Get a stock Ch set for $185 or my one step improved Ch die for $175 (at the moment) and any of my Ch improved complete two die sets for $350.

    If I do have to raise my cost slightly I'll let you all know ahead of time like I have done in the past.
