[quote user="vsmith"] [quote user="rpc7271"]...I realize that the price of everything is going up but I just don't believe they expect us to pay double the price we were paying and expect to stay in business....[/quote]If you have sole distribution rights for a product in a given market, yes you can expect them to charge you whatever they want, and unless you can find an alternate source for said product, you can expect to pay that price or forgo that product. Example: Walthers for years had just such a claim on the distribution of a number of model RR products in the smaller scales by having exculsive deals with the brick and morter hobby stores. At one time you virtually could only order product only thru them, if you bought from any other distributer it negated their contract and you lost ALL ability to order product via Walthers, who at one time controlled about 90% of the product line and could therefor control the prices of the market. The ability to direct order from manufacturers, bypassing the distributor completely, has changed that, but if you can control the spigot, you control the price charged for the drink. If Silvergate can control access of their product line to the marketplace, and eliminate the direct from manufacturer option, they can charge whatever they feel the market will bear.But you are correct in that, charge too much and the stuff will just sit in the warehouse.[/quote]Remember Vic now most of the stuff is made in China so now there profit should go out the roof. Why I buy cheap (if I can). [2c] Why I could careless if the LGB track cleaning loco works or not! I ain't payn for something I saw @ 400.00 + and now is $600.00 +, you have got to be kidding me......keep it on your shelf for a fool.Toad
