| PPS Price Increases Was just poking around the PPS site and noticed the price of all the brass guns has gone up. Superstocker went from 385 to 423 Houndstooth went from 385 to 423 Pug went from 315 to 346 Nasty HT went from 690 to 759 Nasty Typhoon went from 990 to 1089 Is it weird I had all the previous prices committed to memory?

| That's funny on you having them memorized. You can expect to see these increases everywhere as Uncle Sam ignores the "pain at the pumps". I am sure all the manufacturers are raising their prices. I believe I saw the airsmiths comment that Brass prices rose. Groceries are on the rise last I saw too. Makes my brass worth more now. |

| Actually, on the resale market, with everyones budget taking a hit, it may be worth more, but will sell for less. (And I'm all for Uncle Sam keeping away from the pumps... its his fault we got them so high in the first place)

| I agree it's completely justifiable with the increased in materials and transport, it's probably overdue actually. And as A-5 said, us Canucks are still 20% cheaper than we would have been 2 years ago Just checked and Hurricanes went from 996 to 1066 as well.

| The last increase was something like 5 years ago, so it's probably due. Just means I'm keeping my Typhoon, not selling it to fund another one. And the raise in value of the Canadian dollar sure helps. Jordan

 | The profit margin on the brass guns is very thin-they require much more work than, say, a Blazer. I'm not surprised they raised the prices.

 | I'm acually happy to see PPS raise there price. As long as they stay in business, I'm happy. It's pretty minimal anyhow.

| People comment/bitch about how much they charge for their products. Being in N.Cal means mucho overhead. They're not getting rich off this stuff, they're just making enough to run the place and live reasonably comfortably.
