[Harp-L] Hohner prices

["geoff atkins" <geoffatkins@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Greetings from South Africa!
Prices set to go up in the States?

The price of a Hohner Blues harp is presently 53.40 US dollars.
The sole importer doesn't import MBs GMs nor spare reedplates.
The average income level is way below that of the USA, 
a manual worker (e.g. gardener) will earn 10.00-13.70 dollars a day. 
A clerk on a good wage gets 280 dollars a week after tax. 
A graduate can get ten times more -if he can find employment.
Unemployment rate is about 30%+.

Last time I got a blues harp for 30 dollars was 15 years ago.
Few people play harmonica here.
