Keep in mind that we're in a new year so 2011 has not been factored in yet. Basic math. 3 years yielded 8 dollars of inflation, 8/3, add $2.60 for 1 more year, $136.36
The price is not justified, at all.

If you actually calculate inflation, it is correct. $125 in 03, $135 in 06, $148.xx in 2010 so yes, the numbers do add up.
Your calculation is all wrong fool. They were not $125 in 07.
They were $125 in 03, the Fire Reds were $135 in 06. That yields $148.xx in 2010. So please, stop rubbing dookie on your face even more and trying to look cute.
Wrong, 100.00 in 2003.
