Although the mercury 625's are still readily available here in Canada, I've
noticed that stores are starting to raise their price. For the longest
time they sold for $5CDN each but most stores have now raised the price
to $7. I suspect that prices will continue to rise as the supply dwindles.
According to a dealer I spoke with, Varta has a two year supply on-hand
so that should keep stock in stores until the end of 2001. It'll be
interesting to see what their selling price will be then.
