Got a little sticker shock in my local fly shop. Copper beads are $3.95
a pack of 25 while gold and nickel are $2.50. Looking around online it
seems to be a similar deal elsewhere. Now I weighed a package of 2.3 mm
beads which came out to about 1 gram or 0.0022 lbs. Now on the London
metal exchange 'Copper Prices, London Metal Exchange and COMEX copper
prices, Copper news, charts, historical prices.'

copper was $3.04/lb yesterday so the cost of the copper in the package
of beads is less than 1 cent, so why the disparity in price?

Mike McGuire

It's simple. If one buys them at that price, why not keep it there?

Is 25 yards of florocarbon tippet really worth $15.00?

We bite the bullet and pay their price anyway, so why not charge more
and more?

We buy $3.00/gallon of gas and put it on a charge card at 25% interest,
then complain about the cost of gas. Duh...

And don't even get me going on a bottle of water...:dizzy:
