I pay for quality and for something I want and can use.

I have noticed at least one merchant who has raised all their prices - for an item I paid back in 2003, this item is now over twice as much - and all their items have been raised - some several times.

As a customer, you need to compare because some merchants give you a bargain, some offer fair pricing and some, because they can, keep upping their prices.

I will stop buying from this particular merchant because I feel something they created in 2003, has not increased in value to the degree of more than twice what it was.
