Is that a rhetorical question?

I know I know.

Some of the supplies have jumped quite a bit lately.

For the same reason that $1 off Oscar Mayer bacon coupon is still worth $1 off, even though the price of Oscar Mayer bacon has gone up $3/lb.  One has nothing to do with the other.

I was going to say, I imagine it's for the same reason that prices of everything else keep going up too. I regularly shop at a store that gives you a $10 coupon every time you spend a certain amount of money there, and the amount of that coupon hasn't changed even though the prices on a lot of the things in the store have gone up over the years.

Funny, i've noticed the same thing about a loaf of bread or a half gallon of milk.  Darn prices keep going up!

And if the price doesn't go up, but stays the same, the volume of the item goes down!

That is such a great analogy!  😃

Just like toilet paper rolls. And I am not talking about how many sheets are on a roll but the size width of the roll gets skinnier and skinner. You put it on an old toilet paper holder and it’s obviously just how much smaller they are now. They use to go all the way to the end of the holder On each side and now there are inches of space on each side.

You have had ample opportunity to study this particular product?

Because eBay is a for-profit corporation.
