    <description>&lt;P&gt;I was browsing the Q and began reading a thread about a Ripka Key that was once a TSV and again being offered at the old TSV price.  I clicked on it and off to the side of the description was another Ripka item that I have in my jewelry box.&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P&gt;Well I looked at the price and actually said out loud "That CAN'T be right!"&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P&gt;So I look up my old order history and this is what I found.&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P&gt;Item J5050 (JR Sterling Pave Heart Ring), ordered on 5/30/07 cost $37.96 + 4.47 s/h + 2.55 tax&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P&gt;Item J5050, IF ORDERED today 6/11/11 cost $72.00 + 5.22 s/h + ?? tax (figured when order processed).&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P&gt;Granted it was 4 years ago BUT just LOOK at the price difference!!!!  &lt;IMG src="https://community.qvc.com/DesktopModules/ExactTarget/Controls/TextEditor/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/scared.gif" alt="{#emotions_dlg.scared}" /&gt;  $34.79!!!!!!  (and that's not including sales tax!).&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P&gt;I am happy I got that ring when I did.  I will keep enjoying it because I know I won't be buying any more. &lt;/P&gt; &lt;P&gt;Oh yes, the times they are a changin'&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P&gt;&lt;IMG src="https://community.qvc.com/DesktopModules/ExactTarget/Controls/TextEditor/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/001_unsure.gif" alt="{#emotions_dlg.unsure}" /&gt;&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P&gt; &lt;/P&gt; &lt;P&gt; &lt;/P&gt; &lt;P&gt; &lt;/P&gt; &lt;P&gt; &lt;/P&gt; &lt;P&gt; &lt;/P&gt; &lt;P&gt; &lt;/P&gt; &lt;P&gt; &lt;/P&gt;</description>
