Personally, I've found retailers are quite an opportunistic lot - when the dollar plunged, they increased their retail prices and used it as an excuse. Despite the fact that they bought their stock when the dollar was at a high. It's profiteering, no 2 doubts about it. I'm sure others, with retail affiliations will disagree with me (or those who simply run their own business for profit). No matter what happens, in a market that is left unregulated, business will screw the consumers. It's just a simple fact of life (but a bad one).
