Has anyone else noticed this?

I've noticed lately on Craigslist, Farm sales Etc. The price of decent used Squeeze chutes are really rising. Used to be they were all somewhere around the $1000.00 range. Now it seems the same type chutes are $2000.00 and up. Just curious what you all thought. B&G

Everything required for cattle is going up in price. My experience has been that when cattle prices go up input cost rise in relation.
Folks are jumping in figuring to make a fortune in cattle. More reason for higher prices. Supply and demand.
However, when cattle prices fall and those who got in are getting out and marking it up to a bad investment,
my input costs don't seem to be in a hurry to follow the downward trend.
