it's the gas prices that are killing us, you should see the increases on medium to heavy machinery.

i just bought a mortiser that was 899 dollars a year ago, and now costs 1150. sure the seller still advertises flat rate shipping, but the extra 200 bucks is what it's costing us round trip, after they import metal and ship the finished product from canada to the US.
