Inflation jacking prices up

Hobby prices reflect the amount of expendable "fun money" is available at any given time within a particular market niche. "Covid Stimulus Checks" allowed many what they saw as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire things they had wanted for a long time but never had spare cash to purchase. Demand for guns went up, ammo sales skyrocketed, and ...few saw it coming. Before the checks went out, sales and supplies were predictable. Now ...well ....that was good for a while, but people are seeing more pressing needs as just having enough money to fill gas tanks to get to work is reality. The fun money is ...gone, but the inflated asking prices on collectibles are still here. Interesting times we live in, for sure.

Just after I posted this back a while, I posted an immediate retraction and apology as I had mis-read something, and wanted to correct the post. The price had remained the same, and "complained" too quickly. Thanks.

Well I’ve been staying out of the politics fray, but if the other conservative guys on here want me back in, I can share what planet I’m on with you all?
With the economy in a downward spiral due to too many bad decisions and reckless government spending, I don't blame you one bit for staying out. I'd lay low myself. The last thing I always hated to hear growing up from my parents when I was bound and determined to do something I was advised against was, "I told you so!"

The Fed. Reserve was created on Dec. 23 of 1913 according to google. According to an accountant at work, $1.00 just prior to the creation of the FED in 1913 would buy $.03 worth of goods today. That's three (3) cents. Also according to her, that is a cumulative rate of inflation of 96.7%.

I’m angry at anyone that wants to destroy our Constitution, and take away ANY of our rights, as citizens of the US

You didn't cause this inflation....a government did.
Agree!
But remember to be careful in what you ask for, you may get it.

You are right you may just get it! I just want it back to normal. Our country deserves better than what we have now.
Right? I just hope and pray those that voted the current administration in learned that lesson, even though it was via the hard way.
Well, we are two years past abnormal, so I do believe that we deserve better.
Please don't hold your breath, you will suffocate. My friends on the Biden side see no wrong in anything he does. Any problems we have are still the other guys fault.
