Richard,
If you mean cost of living is going up I agree.
As to the price of petroleum products, raw materials (plastic) are a
negligible percentage of the kit manufacturers production costs. The big
expenses are in tooling mould making, maybe Korean or Japanese mould makers
have increased their prices?
Cheers,
