Hey man i have to buy cobalt /manganese to mix in with the steel we use to make our steel tankers. We do some nasty chemicals that would eat normal 307/407 steel., since the Ukraine war started some rare materials went from $10K a ton to $120K+ per ton . imagine explaining the price increase to your customer.. thank god only a small amount is needed per unit, but something non related sure made the grade of steel we use very expensive.
but to your point i agree looks like whatever vendor your looking at is making a nice profit, but maybe his costs are higher,, i dont know, i grow coral not import coral.
