Guest Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 How long before telescopes and accessory prices start going up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAZ Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 It goes without saying that if the pound is worth less, then we will get less for our money. I do see a lot of profiteers jumping on the bandwagon hoping to make an unscrupulous buck. Brantuk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking on the bright side, when we sell our old gear, we might demand a slightly higher price for it if the price has gone up on the new stuff.

philjay Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Cameras and accessories went up at the beginning of September so I should have thought scopes etc would be the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brantuk Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Stocked up on Marmite today - got 4 large jars of it now just in case lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAZ Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 They have cuddled and made up now. It makes me (paranoid me) wonder if this was all planned between them so prices rises can be implemented with both sides saying that it had to happen and that they are watching each other for the benefit of the consumer. Trust no one! I must get some more Marmite. (A good survival food for the Solar flare event that wipes out most of humanity.)

+Bino-viewer Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 They can keep their Marmite Yesterdays IAS visit proved to me that lots of kit has gone up in the last two weeks. I brought a wedge for my tracking mount that has gone up on 365s website by 12.5% in the last week alone. It helps to shop around and know rough prices of things though..... But some stuff is crazily overpriced. Some Canon SLR lenses have seen nearly a 20% rise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuckstar Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 My 20mm es eyepiece has gone up £100 in six months and my 14mm went up £20 the day after I brought mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
