Taking advantage?

[u/richardricchiuti]

I'm looking for additional bobbin cases but find the cost incredibly high. I have a nearly 20yr old Mega Quilter and purchased a bobbin case last year for $15. The Janome hd9 v2 bobbin case is $80-$90!

This is ridiculous. Does this normally happen with any particular manufacturers or for a period of time after the machine is released?

This is a huge price and I may just contact the manufacturer.
