Price increase? (1 Viewer)

[boerboy]

I just noticed that the prices for BG Durbar figures went up to 10-15%, the elephants $766 and escorts $156 (previously $141)...and I am just curious why? (it's probably a silly question to ask ^&grin)

Al - we hadn't increased our prices since 2008. And we've had an official inflation here of 35% the last year, that has really been of about 80%. So 10% is the tightest adjustment that we could apply.

Hello Ana,
Thank you for a prompt reply. Please do not take it personally, I completely understand what small businesses have to go through with a "bad" economy. It was not a huge increase, it just was the straw that broke the camel's back :rolleyes2: : I can not justify paying $700+ for a set for my personal collection. I guess, I will be better off finding these beautiful items on the secondary market and the dealer's old stocks.

It is not the straw that broke my camel's back. I really appreciate what Ana is doing especially with her great figures and expense of her excellent research.

and the figures still work out to about $22.30 which is still cheaper than the major manufacturers.
