Quoted from pinmike:CA. at the moment is pretty high on Pins from what I have seen.
Quoted from practicalsteve:Man is it ever! Everything seems overpriced, I keep telling myself that I cant afford one right now anyway and I should just save up so if they go down I can get a nice one.
Indeed!!!
Quoted from eabundy:price are HIGH out there. Really don't know why.
In my area a few smaller distributors/sellers quickly buy reasonably priced pins shop em and sell them for much more than what they go for on average and people always seem to buy them.
