Here is some related info I have shared on another popular discussion forum.
Updated version of an previous price-history post I made.
I reviewed Basicstero's price history using the internet archive

Here in the first image we can see the prices in 2018, well before the 2022 Olympic Games that you mentioned.
For example, you can see the Basicstero International Warehouse price for a Testosterone Enanthate 300 mg/mL was $45 USD in 2018.

This second image shows the prices in January of 2023, after the Olympic Games. As you can see, the prices were still the same as they were in 2018.

Next, we have an example of the prices from 2024 in the last image.
Right now today, even after all these years, the Basicstero International Warehouse price for a Testosterone Enanthate 300 mg/mL is still $38 USD, for instance.
Finally, As we can see from the price history, a TEST-E300 for the international warehouse cost $45 USD back in 2018 and now cost only $38 USD.
Therefore, prices have not gone up in a long time -- they're actually down and there are far greater opportunities for discounts now (mini-wholesale/bulk products, Military/Veteran discount, etc.)
I've been a customer with Basicstero for over 10 years now and the international warehouse prices are lower today than what they were when I first started shopping here.
That means all these years, and after all the challenges the industry has faced, the international warehouse prices are still lower than what they were many years ago when I made my first order.
Everything else in the world costs more over time -- I am sure you have noticed in your own life when shopping or paying bills, and seen/heard on the news or in political debates, that inflation has been a significant concern in recent years.
Gas prices, housing costs, energy, transportation, groceries, etc...
ALL way up in prices.
I am sure you expect to make more money at your job next year than what you made last year -- who here declines getting a raise and just wants to work for the same pay year after year even though prices all around them go up?
Is Basicstero somehow immune to the rising costs and not part of the real world? Operational costs go up, shipping costs go up, workers pay goes up, but somehow, unlike all the other businesses in the world, like some magic, Basicstero shouldn't ever raise prices? why? how?
In addition to the typical inflation, the AAS industry just endured a massive loss of access to raw material because of the chemical manufacture busts.
Think about it logically, how much more does everything else cost nowadays compared to a decade ago?
Now keep in mind the raw material issues on top of typical inflation.
Basicstero is way overdue for a price increase.
But, I bet some people will still try to act shocked even though prices for everything else in life have gone way up over the years,
