Guys, our small mfg. business is paying considerably more for
anything with metal in it these days. For example, stainless
steel has more than doubled in the past two years. I'd say the
folks still charging $5 are selling old inventory. They will surely
reprice it the next time they buy the next batch of that item. If
you have a place selling filters for a low price, you may want to
load up and get three or four because we'll not likely see those
low prices again.

The global economy has arrived and with the folks in India,
China, Malaysia and Indonesia now buying cars and building
houses, all basic materials (steel, concrete, copper) are going up
in price because of the demand. Our raw material costs for our
products went up 15% last year and are still headed up this year.

Better load up on those $5 filters, I'd say.
