@ Frank and Fred- I also ended up ordering a 6ball set from Old Skull. They should last me a long time, so it's more than good enough for now.
@Mbrimson88- I'm in the States but where I live in California, where taxes are high anyways, the city tax is 9%, on top of being an isolated rural area where just about any product, excluding weed and LSD which are less expensive here than anywhere else, possibly in the world, is considerably more expensive than anywhere else in the continental United States. I try to buy everything local and/or 2nd hand, but the other day, with tax, a set of Bones 56mm STF 99A wheels cost me $49.
It's just pretty crazy how fast the price of all sorts of stuff has gone up with Trumps tariffs. Covid might be part of it, but I was talking to a dude who makes and jars pepper sauce and he was telling me that due to tariffs, his cost for bottles has gone up 25% in less than a year. It's fucked up.
