Solder Prices Double Overnight?

[plexi50]

I went to get a 1lb roll of solder at radioshack last week and the 1lb roll is gone all together. They now have a 8oz roll for the same price ($13.95) as the former 1lb roll. What the heck is going here? Did silver explode overnight or what? This is insane/

That fricken Doug has bought up most of the silver. There's none left for the rest of us!

The price increased a while back.  I stocked up and ordered 25 lbs.

I quess RS was being nice and selling what 1 lb rolls they had left last month for $13.49. I bought 2 rolls online cheap and should be good to go for a while
