In the Hanger: A bunch of kits
With the dollar falling it doesn't make sense for us here in the US to purchase. But it does for those who are seeing better exchange rates abroad when purchasing from the US. I have seen just such a trend in sales.

Food and fuel prices are rising, though the Feds don't include them in inflation calculations.....for some reason....
Metalworking consumables and some metalworking machines have increased in price even before the latest stock market crash.
The Chinese appear to have been holding export prices lower than they should considering the inflation they are encountering due to their economic growth.
As plastic kits are made from petroleum, and most kits are made overseas, I would presume prices would eventually rise.
I have not considered that (yet) Eric...... let's hope things stabalize soon
Enjoy the ride!
Hi guys,
Just a thought that's been rattling around in my head....Has anyone been buying up kits and supplies in anticipation of the falling value of the U.S. dollar? With the way things have been going in the stock market, I was just wondering if it has influence anyone's purchasing habits. Yes, I know that the $18 Monogram kit won't suddenly become a $48 kit overnight. But still, all this turmoil has got me to wondering.
