    hello everyone out there! 

    I am struggling to figure out how to deal with the extraordinary
    increase in metal prices with my existing inventory of finished
    goods, what the market will bear etc, understanding that what goes up
    in this business rarely comes down.I sell out of my house, and by
    doing private house shows, so I don't have to worry about gallery or
    store costs (done that!). Having just purchased some gold this past
    week to make a special order ring, I am clearly into a new category
    for pricing, which will look far different from my existing pieces,
    and it has me in a quandry. I appreciate any ideas from those of you
    in the same position.
