[QUOTE="Chadp82, post: 2824105, member: 114151"] Everyone has the right to choose where they spend their money. I don’t disagree that the increases have been crazy. I am also not defending Nosler with this next bit, just trying to offer a perspective. As a person that manages construction projects I can tell you the increases in the things I see have been astronomical over the last 3 years. Many suppliers say it’s from the pandemic, to which I call BS, but that’s not the point. If the supplies are up and they are needed to do the work, we cant stop the train. The price gets pushed to the customer paying for the construction project. Today’s perception of gouging is at the point of sale, but the cause isn’t necessarily from the point of sale. Each layer has increases and they all have to make a profit in a for profit business. I hate the price increases on lots of things as much as the next guy, but the root cause is deep down the rabbit hole. I can’t speak to nosler, but in the work I do, most companies are trying to maintain a profit margin while staying competitive. Some have lowered the bar on profit margins to save face with customers. It’s a push and pull. Also labor is up to keep good people around and working, fuel is up to keep the goods coming, supplies are up from the distributors, and all things combined compound rather quickly and quite frankly at rates that have made a lot of customers sour but not in the control of the contractors.
