Okay, you got me. The awning seems like an awful increase. But I mentioned that I was getting beyond being able to use my van [87 syncro westy 3 knob, diesel, etc.] and was considering selling it. A friend who kind of keeps track of these things said first ask an insanely high price then see what happens. Turned out his version of an insanely high price is $140,000. To me that's beyond insane; that's almost as much as I have in it! So inflation [or insanity] strikes everywhere. Still seems like greed to me, especially when it's big business or someone else.
