Like the $4.00 per gallon gasoline prices, when the price was too much for the drivers, they stopped driving so often and the demand for gas was less, so was the price of gas. The OPECKERS got the message and lowered the crude oil prices. The LAW OF SUPPLY AND DEMAND is applicable to any commodity, even small rifle primers! Don't be so demanding (hoarding)! This is not rocket science, people. We, the consumer, can control pricing, if we act strategically.
