GREED!! :XD:

There's that. But working in retail I've learned doing ANY sort of price change suck (if I'm working on Monday I'm doing mods for new releases for Tuesday). I imagine it'd be a little complicated to have the old stock stay at the same old "before flooding" price and then have to change it to the new higher price once the bolt has run out and is replaced. And not every bolt is going to run out at the same rate. There would probably be irritated customers who go "Hey, this bolt is (insert lower price) but this one is (insert higher price! Why is that? Why can't this one be at that price?" It was probably easier just to change everything at once...but that doesn't change the fact still sucks for us quilters, though.
