Hmmmm. Bought a bulk pack of 100 G03 Riteks in late Jan for $81 at Meritline, round about the time the 2X hack for AO4 1.40 firmware came out.

Just went back to their site and they now have them "on sale" for $119. That's a 47% hike - ekkk!

So wassup with that? Is it the war, the exchange rate, or (and this is what I'm suspicious of) did demand spike with the new firmware so they found they could boost their profit margin? If so, they should be sending a BIG crate of champagne to that firmware dude 'cos they definitely owe him a "thankyou".

Enough rant. Anyone recommend somewhere I can get them cheaper?

I think rima.com might have them for $110. I hear it's the cost of plastic and demand. Word got out that these are the chiznit.
