Is this a joke or are shafts going to reach astronomical prices nowadays too?

If top end OPS are $200+, you can expect the high end tapered shafts to start being more expensive.

Those were going for $99 on...I want to say Hockey2.com, about a month ago. My brother picked 2 up but I can't stand tapered.

Thats why we have eBay and NHL team sales. Wait a few months and you can get what you want at a fraction.

LOL, my favourite part of that was "Long taper design fits short hosel blades, looks better and allows easier loading"

i remember a couple years ago, PIAS was selling zbubble grip shafts for $180.00 canadian, so $159.99USD doesn't really seem like THAT much.

Hey... maybe the cost of the 130's stickers went up?

Be happy guys. I deal with British people all the time at my work and they go nuts because hockey equipment is ridiculously cheap in Toronto in comparison to back at home. They would have to pay the same nominal value, but only in pounds. Doing your math, that makes things a little more than double the price. Thus, a pair of Vapor XXX in Can go retail for $700, over there, they go for 700 pounds which makes them over $1400. Think of that eh? $1400 for skates???
