Prices are constantly rising. My thoughts are- if you really want something and can responsibly afford it, buy it now. I recently made a large purchase right before a price increase and saved a couple of thousand dollars. I am dreading August when my car lease is up. 

Inflation, Air and Land freight are up, container costs are down though. I highly doubt this company is shipping ocean freight unless it is parcel post. Steel is up as are precious metals. Wages are up in China too. 

they are probably also taking advantage of the positive PR they have had over the last 18 months or so too.  Gotta strike while the iron is hot..

Change the currency from SGD to USD. When I do that the price is listed as $1,792.97 is US dollars.
