[sdiy] rising cost of PCB's?

[Dan Snazelle]

hey there

i started doing synth diy about 2 and half almost 3 yrs ago. when i first started buying pcbs many of them were in the 5 to 10  or at most 12  to 15 dollar range. (plus shipping)

now i am seeing more and more boards that are 15, 17, 18,  20, 25, 30 and up up up

i was just wondering if this is due to the cost of pcb manufacturing going up? the strength of the dollar? 

or am i just crazy and imagining that the prices are going up?

granted i am not talking about big pcb boards. multi board projects or things like the asm2.

just wondering.

thanks!
