I just checked to see if any of the normal prices had changed and the Sude indicates that they haven't. This is not a big deal for some of the products. The difference in cost to make lumber is not significantly different from the cost to make plastic.
This does not hold true for the cordless phone and the mobile phone. The amount of real estate required and the production costs for these items has increased greatly. The telephone has been a reasonable item to produce, but now reconfigured as a cordless phone it is no longer reasonable to produce it.
Nobody ever produced the Push-button phone when it required 1 electronic component, but now that it requires 2 of them.... well I suppose it isn't any different. Nobody will produce it still.
I suppose I'm just a little saddened to the mechanics of the electronics store altered so much. It seems a bit unfair to take reasonable product and ruin it, or take a poorly performing product and make it worse.
Is there any chance of setting the normal price of these products higher, or changing the required materials back to what they once were?
