Hurts on the inside

supply and demand - I suspect people generally just don't pay much because its something not necessary and wait until someone is giving it away for free.

I've decided that I'll just throw mine away instead of that - with any industry you have to maintain a certain level of supply / demand to set pricing.

look at the bright side - you can try to sell it after awhile yourself to recoup costs

All good points.

Just one of those things where you don't really think of it till you get to the till and then you're just like "really??"...

It's an expensive hobby, but that doesn't mean we deserve to be gouged on the things where there is no justification for it.

That being said, I DID buy it...lol

I think that holds true for a lot of things in this hobby sadly, because this hobby is viewed as an expensive hobby most companies out there have no qualms about overpricing their stuff.

too true.

And when the first response to any post along these lines is generally some kind of "you are in the wrong hobby" type of comment, it's easy to see why.
