The inevitable starting to happen.  We have had cheap prices on products for a long time.

A basic 22 has been $99 for at least 20 years.

I'd pay an extra 100 for a colored 26er.

The 22.5 "Original Kettle" aka One Touch Silver was $79.99 in 2000, bumped up to $89 in 2002 and finally $99 by 2005ish so I guess 13 or so years isn't a bad run at $100. I saw somewhere early this past year where the MSRP for a 26er was already at $330. Guess it's true now.

Saw a black performer deluxe at my HD yesterday marked down from $349.00 to $225.00 I think.  Was tempting. I only have an old 1979 very used 22.5 right now.

I purchased 1 new Copper OTG at a silent auction for charity.  Thats the ONLY one I paid near retail for.  My LE RED came off a CL buy for 80 bucks.  NIB... SO I guess.. yeah that would be 2 "New".  None Retail tho....
Lets just say I have acquired a few Kettles.  Big and small.   Vintage and New...  Some say I have a problem.  I find the Kettle, buy the Kettle, USE the Kettle...No problem...
