Have not seen anyone actually list what the increase is, just 14 pages of complaining? I found out what the increase is (not saying so don't ask) and it isn't very much. Not enough that I am upset about it and I buy a lot of new Sterns. Not enough for a 14 page pitchfork rant either. If the increase is large from your dist then they are just trying to make more money off you.

I would say 2 1/2 years is correct for no increases. I have been buying new sterns for 3 years and have not seen any increase. If you have seen any increase prior to this official increase that anger needs to be directed towards your disturibtor and not Stern.

TELL THEM NO (your dist, not stern)

I should of said I only buy pros so I don't watch the LE pricing. I bet you could of got them for the same price and I wouldn't call $200 "much more" over 2 years from twd release to gb release. The price increases people have seen over the last couple of years is mostly from dist trying to make more $ on sales. Nothing wrong with that, but don't blame stern for that.
