    In a covid world of small business, i think you can be rational and have some understand,

    Now, if you had chosen to call someone or perhaps go in store maybe they would honour their previous price? who knows, you got all mad and this is what you chose to do
    I would second this advice, I have saved greatly by calling vendors and asking for price match and for a price for a group of items. The retailers are bound by map/MSRP but are often very greatful that you gave them the chance to have your business.

    I guess the real lesson here is, If you see a product that you want in stock and on sale at a good price. Buy it

    That...and if you miss it in one place, shop around. Just did a quick google search and found 3 places selling it for way less than $319. Probably won’t be that way for long...

    Everything went up, Insurance , Taxes , Heat , ect ect ect

    I dont expect shops to just absorb the costs.

    Thats how the cookie crumbles in this world, the consumer get to pay more.

    Maybe they ordered new stock and blended the cost of old and new so they dont lose their shirts.
