I'm working on the electrical panel for Third Wave. I want to change it from marine breakers to relays. But the circuits need to be fused so for the AC portion I need to use 125 VAC rated glass fuses. The cheapest price I could find on the web for quality Eaton brand gear is below, just $12 for a 12 position fuse block. Not bad at all, right? Except that for last year's price you can't actually buy any. But no worries, they got them on order with a **196 day** lead time.
So yeah I could wait until 2/24/20friggintwo for my parts but I worry that if I do so that they will just change the price and I'll be paying more anyway.
Of course if you want shipment in "only" 3 to 5 weeks you can pay nearly 3x on Amazon. This is for the exact same item that only cost $11.88 last year.
I'm telling you, this is just the start of it. If you need to buy stuff, buy it now. Prices are only going up in the coming year.
