Yeah, Fabs, I agree on the "always" expensive but I guess I'm just thinking it wasn't that long ago that I was looking at Citoris and Onyx's with price tags in the $1100-1200 range. That was a while back obviously. I was recently in the market 'cuz thought it would be great to have a designated O/U "Duck Gun" and went looking for a new, camo version just for that purpose. When I started seeing $1800-2000 for most specimens, I changed my tune and bought used instead. I'm glad I did 'cuz the break open action on an O/U does NOT lend itself to a good pit blind shotgun. I used it for a month and just traded it off for an SBE.
Oh...and the best deal on milk? Costco! It just went up to a little over $6 for two, 1 gallon containers and the best thing is they're protected in a cardboard box so they don't get light oxidized and that funny taste that clear plastic container milk gets in the grocery stores. If I can't get to my Costco, I have to buy it in those half gallon square cardboard containers. I'm picky!
Glad to see you're raising your prices. I need to as well. Problem is, I'll probably lose work when I do it 'cuz I tend to have to bid work that goes to lowest bid and I'm always dealing with the losers that just fail to completely account for their true expenses and low bid everything. We'll see how that goes.
