You are still pretty reasonable and produce enough of them to go around. You are almost in your own nitch within the plug industry. IMO You build the "working mans fishing plug" and build enough of them so that if (when) you lose one the pain in your hip pocket stays there and doesn't bleed into your savings account.
I saw some auctions this winter on harder to get plugs that almost drove me to the lathe! Seriously, the cost for some of these are over the top. These were not collectors items...just fishing plugs. I know it is a supply and demand thing but when prices get that high it becomes too painful.
It is not just the US either. I bought a few plugs from overseas this winter to check out...they are pretty expensive as well.
