[QUOTE="FitzTheRuke, post: 9627926, member: 59816"] I get what you're saying, and I appreciate the advice. It's just that much of what we sell has already been hitting what I would call a "cost ceiling". For example, many board games have nearly doubled in price since 2020. It was not unusual during that time for us to sell a board game and then go to replace it, only to find that our cost on a new copy was almost as much as we sold the old copy for. Magic the Gathering spend nearly 20 years (IIRC) at about $5 per pack. Since Cocks decided to "monetise" it, it's gone $6-$7-$8-$9 and of course, upwards of $40 or more depending on the set. The tariffs are going to make them $12-$14 CAD for a regular Play Booster. At any rate, I'll take what you say to heart, but this is only the first week where we've seen the tariffs, and it's going to get a LOT worse from here (assuming it continues, but even if it doesn't, there's going to be a rolling cascade of costs passed on at every level). Baby steps. [/QUOTE]
