During tax time, they could be trying to reduce inventory. I know Gander Mountain was doing that for tax purposes. After their fiscal year ended, stock flowed in again. Every year at that time, supplies would be limited.

Still, like US made products, it is up to the consumer to tell them what to sell. We told them we wanted cheap, they gave us cheap so we can't have it both ways.
