So I guess the prices we pay are now considered msrp rather than gouging markups.

Not bad, considering they haven't raised prices in several years.

Last increase was in 2003.

Got to love a vendor that doesn't want you to make a decent margin! Cost per went up an average of $.25! The MSRP is only around 30%, when most vendors give you 50%, that sucks! They can make there money but don't want us to make ours.
