Quote: What happened to Hangar 9 pricing ??
__________________________________________________ ________
Have you kept-up with what's happening with the U.S. Dollar?
It's value has plunged to all-time lows. We see this in the form of "higher prices",
and expecially higher prices for things imported from foreign countries.
Wish I could say that we have seen the end of it.
But we haven't.

Well, unfortunately yes, I have kept up with our currency fluctuations, because I travel abroad. The news are not good in the dollar front.
BUT THERE IS NO WAY it justifies a 25/35% increase. They are "skimming" (milking) the market. They think they can do it (I am sure they can) and they are making a lot of money right now.
Also, most importers are affected by the currency fluctuations but in many cases this increase in cost is not reflected on the products because the importer absorbs the increase in cost by reducing a little his profits.
Hangar 9 is "making a killing". Good for them if they can get away with it:-) I have some of their products, but right now, I switched to other vendors...
There are 2 truths in life: taxes, and the supply and demand curve:-) 3 things can happen 1) their prices will come down 2) they competitors will also rise the prices (then we are screwd) or 3) people like H9 products so much, that they will not mind paying more, and they will just pay the higher prices.
