Covid might be the excuse. Quite a few companies made a ton of money from Covid. (amazon doubled). If you look at company profits they are all up. Profit. Not cost of materials or labor for the same product, yes some. Look at profit earnings to the company your buying from, hard to say it's something else when a company is showing record quarterly profits and charging more for the same thing. It's all public knowledge. One could say there could be some opportunities taken. But as capitalism is, a good product cheaper hopefully will always be available. But I digress...


This could be a supply issue or something else. Coker has been a great company for a long time. A real asset offering an amazing diversity of products you can't find anywhere. I'll still consider when I buy.

Tinker, you speak in generalities all over the place and say it’s all public knowledge. If what you want to convey is so public, please be specific and cite your source.

Yeah, Tinker’s comments are at the 50,000 foot level, generic and basic news info.

Costs have gone up in just about every category. Some are up now, some were up a year ago and have since normalized. It’s supply and demand on a global scale. COVID has a huge impact on the global supply chain, like it or not, agree with it or not.
