They started this during 2020. A lot of companies have gone this way, having exclusives for themselves & barely releasing to retailers (esp shelves) if at all, or even making those online etc. Seems they took advantage of 2020 issues to say, “we can get people to pay retail prize or higher straight to us despite not needing the price as high as retail, & not give a crap about other sales.” It really os exclusive. A lot of companies seem to have used 2020 as an excuse to capitalize, & even tho they didn’t need to raise prices in some cases they did anyway.
And nothing goes down much in price anymore. Used to be u have patience for the less sought after items they’d go down in price. Most now stay so close to retail, maybe go down to what it was b4 inflation, or goes up regardless of the item & supply.
