I'd have to agree on the price increases. Last year I was looking at mini's for $550 at bi-mart here in OR. Now they're $8-900. Still cheaper than an AR though. That's why I bought my SKS. For the price of a mini I got a beautiful 1956 type 56, a tapco stock, Redfield scope/mount, shell deflecter, 3 mags and 500 rds of ammo. I've only got about $650 in it so far.
