> Pricing items and their value: is the current rise of prices something overdue or are companies just getting greedy?

For retail in general, at least wrt pandemic, I understand that retailers absorbed costs (to stay competitive), until they couldn’t. Shipping not only went up, but retailers ordered excess inventory, which resulted in them having to sell at clearance prices. Now that the USA is finally taking away the interest rate punchbowl (too much quantitative easing under multiple administrations, and the current one dragging its feet for their first two years and spending money instead of cutting spending), and most central banks also not reacting timely, we have not only inflation but a recession, hardly good conditions for luxury items.

Already have a ton of mini’s to paint, so no hurry to buy more, even though I backed yet another generic fantasy miniatures KS. 😛
