    Well, I miss-typed. It was priced at $275, not $225. The actual
    increase is 14%, and the chain has gone up 13% since a year ago (I
    just checked, since you asked). Plus, I have really been trying to
    put all the advice from Orchid into practice-- doubling materials
    and adding my hourly rate PLUS profit. 

    I keep reminding myself of the advice I got years ago (and have
    quoted here before)-- if your toes don't curl when you quote the
    price, you're not charging enough.
