I refuse to ''get used to'' Hobbico/Tower's ever higher, completely unjustifiable prices. I understand keeping up with inflation, but in case no one has noticed, a lot of the reason for a major decrease in retail sales is the fact that most credit card companies keep lowering the card's credit limit as the consumer pays down their balance. This means that there is no way to buy the product and the budget of the consumer is inflexible. If it can't go on the card, they can't buy it. So the idiots selling our toys raise the prices above inflation anyway and then wonder why they have no sales. It takes an MBA to think in such a manner.
