Re: [TenTec] Ten-Tec Price Increases April 1

["Bill Gaines AD8P" <ad8p@wcoil.com>]

Well Gary I guess you and a lot of us want our cake and eat it too. If 
someone raises the
price of an item and you chose not to buy it, it wasn't because of the 2% 
increase. You didn't
want to buy one anyway. A 2% increase on $1500 bucks is $30. Hardly an 
amount worth
reconsidering a purchase. Why worry? If they would happen to discontinue 
that radio down
the line, you have a new one. Call 'em up and order the darn thing or tell 
us the real reason....
your xyl nixed the deal!!!!
