I was just cruising through AOA's website and noticed that prices on Daystate and Brocock airguns took a jump up. So much for the world economy and inflation.
More insurance, higher payroll, increased material costs, increased tooling costs, yep it’s a world wide thing!!!Wow a couple hundred bucks too. Too bad they haven't improved them. Just giving more options doesn't merit price increase.
Everything has gone up, Brocock included. The only thing that has not gone up is my wages.
Outside of politics it’s interesting to note that corporate profits are at an all time highAmong the many reasons the dollar is so influential on the world economy is that it is the world's reserve currency,
Reduced buying power of the dollar ("inflation") negatively affects the entire world economy.
Being as though so much of the value of the dollar is influenced by political policy, the elected officials in the American government are extremely powerful, with vast downstream effects resulting from the personal agenda driven policies they enact.
As such, grocery store prices are insane, and prices for luxury items like high end airguns are also simply going up, as the value of the dollar goes down.
But our overlords tell us inflation is only 3%They could go up another 5%. The economy is a mess over there and ours is too.
My hens are too old to lay. They gave me a dozen eggs a day when the price was like 1.50/12.And 18 eggs are now about $6.00. LOL
But our overlords tell us inflation is only 3%
Milk is almost double, beef is almost double, gas is almost double and was for awhile, etc etc etc.Lol yeah.
Tin of quality pellets is way more than 3% more expensive now than it was in the previous 4 year time frame.
I agree. Lesser of 2 evils. That's why I now shoot H&N over JSB lol. Airgun stuff related or something.Keep it semi-airgun related or it'll get shut down.
From an ethics/integrity/morals standpoint, NONE of the choices are good. For me it's as simple as choosing the one that runs the country in a way that I can afford to feed my kids, and maybe have a little left over for enjoying airguns.
