I certainly understand costs for transport going up with the instability and increasing costs of oil etc, so why? now that oil prices have crashed through the floor in the last month, are costs not reducing....all of these companies have their snouts in the trough and we are the ones paying for their well fed snouts.

"Now can somebody explain why being a member saves me $10 on a model that is a members only piece anyway????"

It normaly gets offered to club members first, about 2 weeks before non members can order it.
But it is not a members only piece.
If it is, the dealers wont have it listed as a pre-order.
However, a true members only piece, will still show the normal price and the members discounted price, otherwise you will still get people saying, why cant I get my $10 discount of my members piece, whats the point in being a member, etc, etc, etc.
