How odd. In three years these part numbers at kbctools.ca still have the same price when I bought them 3 years ago.

Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

Supplies
Sometimes, presumably when vendors are honest & the parts have been on the shelf for a while, they will honor their original purchase cost & margin. Other times they ratchet the prices up on existing (old) inventory if market prices have increased & pocket the difference. Usually stagnant inventory is dead money so typically reduce prices with a sale & get it out the door. One thing I've noticed is my KBC & Travers paper catalog prices look nothing like current prices. Some have increased significantly, some just a bit. Not too many things seem cheaper but its more of a gut feel than actual comparison. I'm not sur why but KBC sale flyer seems to be +/- the same stuff, issue after issue, year after year. I guess use that to your advantage, but a bit of variety would be more useful.
