In the mid range ..... a good part of the cost is federal reserve note dilution.
However ....
Walk into any LBS pick up a Saddle and look at the price tag? 145 frn ?
Saddles used to be in the 35 range. That is NOT due to frn dilution.
So .... have we become suckers ?
oh yea ....HB's leather cost just went up 6% (in one year) in frns.
when I was a kid 10K cars hardly existed. a souped up BMW was 8,500.
