The dollar to the Euro didn't change much the dollar to the US did..
How ever metal prices went up so making stuff went up too so...
Best purchase I ever made at the Edge was an ultrashort for $449 back in 2010.
Welcome to the sad reality of inflation and fluctuating exchange rates

Yes the price went up significantly, but it had too.
We recently realized a number of errors in our system. The largest being how it calculated the prices of Fabarm shotguns. Basically, we were giving them away.
We know we will sell less at these prices, but it could not be helped.

TSE sure does seem to be BLOWING IT lately almost on a weekly basis
Very disappointing
I don't see how; 2 years of manufacturing increases, a 20% shipping increase and a 20% change in currency can be translated into us "blowing " it.
All this means is that the people who already bought got a great deal.
If you do the math, the price went up approximately 25%. When the prices were locked in our system, the exchange was 1.32 and now it is 1.55. Thats an 18% difference. Now add on 2 years of increases in average of 3% per year and we are at 24%. Now are shipping went up significantly due to insurance costs as well.... It doesn't take long to have a significant increase.
Look at the Swiss Franc now: last year almost at par. Now its at 1.26
Expect a big increase on Easter chocolates!
Our issue is that it took us so long to catch the formula errors in the system.
On another note: We just got told in friday that the Coonan pistol prices are going up 35% by our supplier (in Canada). Am I going to be blamed for this as well?
Even the cost in 9mm has gone up almost 32% to us over the past 18 months.
As a consumer, it is easy and expedient to blame the retailer, but usually increases are completely out of our hands.

Some or most of their prices remain quite good without any increases. I think this forum has made it clear that they will shop with their wallets given the huge amount of suppliers online especially the smaller ones trying to make a name for themselves. Not everyone is raising prices across the board. TSE is not doing this as much as some other online retailers.

how is one to know that this post is directed at TSE if they do not respond?
I do not understand? I am responding.
