yeah, everything is more expensive now, Harbor freights pricing is a lot higher now, a 4x8 trailer used to be 249$ for the 1800lb load version, now it's 449$
I've also noticed HF stopped giving out 20% off coupons now, and most of the old coupons are gone all together. I guess they just can't turn a profit if they did.
Also I've seen a ton of people turning to used equipment (like lawnmowers, tillers etc) instead of getting new ones. Sales on used stuff is up by a lot compared to new stuff (ie, last year I could buy a used toro lawnmower for 100$ now the markets up to around 180$ on the same used mower)
