I feel differently. If folks were "happy" with Bergs prices, we wouldn't
have attempted a group buy. A 300% increase over a few years is simply
gouging the public. Berg is charging for their name, not the product. If we
can get better pricing via Berg with a GB (not likely) or from an overseas
supplier, all the better. Don't know about you but 25 bucks saved is 25
bucks I can put towards another upgrade.
