Don't blame Harbor Freight. Blame the Chinese. They gotta pay for all the cheating at the Olympics, somehow.

Glad I got mine 3 weeks ago at 49.99
Actually it was not even on sale online I just walked in and that was the price.
So sometimes it pays to go shopping (wife logic?)

That's likely to be just the beginning. The Chinese government reduced their price supports to Chinese companies by 15% in June.

Hmmm-- low end build quality and higher prices. Is GM running China?

My job requires that I pay attention to the price of steel and other metals. The North American carbon steel index has more than doubled in the last 12 months. Other metals have increased that much or more.
And, if you want to purchase a mill run of steel, you will be quoted a price that might be valid for 24 hours and when you place the order, it will be whatever the quoted price was, plus the statement "price in effect at time of shipment." So, you are giving the steel mills a blank check because you have no choice.

Gerry is right. It is not about price gouging at all. All raw metal materials have gone through the roof. Add to that the current cost of the fuel to heat the metal to pour it in the mold to create the pot. Then of course there is the fuel cost to send the big freighters to the US. There have also been some reposrt of the freighters going back to China empty so they can send more stuff to the US, so that adds even more to the cost of shipping it here.
Some day we will learn that we need to export more than we import.
Has anyone looked into exporting our criminals? :biggrin:

I picked up a pot from HF about 3 weeks ago and it was $40 marked down from $50, because the swivel nut was broken. I contacted corporate and they sent me a new one for free.
