yea besides the cost of metals skyrocketing in this economy thats why its funny when ppl complain abt the costs of some of the nicer stuff. you have to remember machinists average abt 40 bucks an hour, then theres machine set up and materials. thats why everythings so expensive. its not ppl trying to make a fast buck buying cheap selling high, its the fact that suppliers charge a fortune like fish just found out.

I just wished I had my own mill and lathe in the shop so I could make my own stuff
