Many of those issues have already been delt with and had deals signed already.Where have you seen any huge price jumps on any products from the effected companys.You haven't.

I guess you'd have to be a business owner to understand how supply costs and business cost actually effect the retail side of a product.If a certain cost increases $X amount it doesn't typically mean you add $X to the final product on the retail side.Those primary increases in costs can be overcome many different ways including marginal increases across the entire product line or adjusting costs in other areas.

Nice post jay

um if im not mistaken based on what i read isnt icd not required to change its current products pricing or whatever but they have to pay for anything new they make that falls under it? and we dont really know much about the dye settlement to say (besides dye could probably take the hit and keep the same prices seeing as how its dye and all)

There went my clever play to raise the price of emags to 2 grand each and get rich and set sail to the Bahamas.....YOU SPOILED IT!!!!!

Well who knows. If its not much then it might be absorbed in some markers. Depends on peoples profit margins and all and how much room they got. We just have to wait and see I guess.
