Jan 1 Price Hike

[Gavin Greenwalt]

On the plus side, at least this might highlight for some people the difference between "made in America" and "assembled in America".

Not necessarily. I believe a large portion of the parts are also made in America. I think they've said the main processors are fabbed in California for instance. But it's a global market so if supply gets constrained in one part of the world American made parts will go up in price too, not just Asian parts. Supply meet demand.

That being said there's nothing that's been said to my knowledge that this is actually a supply issue. It very well could also just be RED finding out that the costs they estimated 24 months before manufacturing commenced weren't perfect and are adjusting to protect their projected profit margins.

And seeing as they're in perpetual back-order... clearly the market can support higher prices.
