Cain, Cain, Cain...
Do you never learn?

They were much lower, last week.
By about $20 in your own ad, too.

Its very simple: you raise prices, nobody buys memory.
Prices drop, you buy memory.
Simple economics.
We will wait until the price drops again.

Besides, you can't tell me that you didn't stock up when the price
got really cheap last week. So how can you justify charging the high
prices on the SIMMS left over from last week's bonanza?

Basically don't be making these "car dealer" promises about
memory prices, since you'll likely be sticking your foot in your mouth.

You yourself said that prices are fluctuating wildly right now, 
so what happens when you prophecy this "gloom-n-doom" about rising 
memory prices and the memory prices drop through the floor?
