Topic: Pro Shop Prices?

Whats the crack with the price increase on the Aramith TV Pro Cup balls, these were priced a week ago at £110, 48 hrs ago £105.99, i was thinking what a cracking deal and they are now a whopping £134.00.

Is this an error?

They are following the stock market!

I'll let Andy explain as he does the complicated stuff, although I know they cost more due to the value of the Euro.

£ is getting weak compared to dollar and euro....

Tell me about it, my UK pensions have reduced in Euro value by about 1/3 over the last six months or so.

Well, you ARE saving on your heating bill though Peter!

In answer to the first post, I will try and explain.
I have held off rising prices that needed to be raised due to the weakness of the £ for a few months. But last week it needed to be done. I reviewed all the shipping costs from our US and European suppliers and reduced a few prices where I could buy the item in bulk. Everything else coming from those two continents increased. However I do not buy my Aramaith stock from Europe or US, I have a UK supplier. So in order to compensate for a lot of price increases, high value items from the UK were reduced slightly to give the customer a better deal. However my supplier of Aramith balls has now increased his prices in line with the weak £, so unfortunately the cheap £105 price could not be sustained. The price had to be increased immediately because we do not keep large stocks of Aramith balls.

Now there are not many retailers who would give you that much in-depth info.

Cheers Wattie, but the question is... What will the price be next week?

I understand, thanks for clearing it up. Its just a shame i missed out on the £105 balls. I sold my 3 yr old Aramiths to a blind man for £80 few weeks back.
