hitclays Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 (edited) I am sick of cartridge prices going up. Can anybody who uses Express,Eley or Gamebore let me know what they pay? why such differences throughout Britan? I am going to beat all prices (i supply shooters at my shoots with cartridges at cost and have done for 4 years). come on guys name and shame, Edited February 24, 2012 by hitclays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azzurri Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Can't really comment on current cartridge prices,haven't bought any for ages The last lot I bought was at auction in November,Super Comps for £160 per thou,but the thing that makes me laugh is this "We only make a fiver a thou"....Really :yp: :lol: I certainly couldn't be bothered to unload & stack pallet loads of shells IF there really is that little profit in it for the retailer and not to mention the amount of floor space they take up And then you get more BS from Gun Shop owners saying things like "We stock cartridges knowing that people have to come in to buy them,we don't make anything on them but people generally buy other items from the shop whilst they're here" So cartridges have now become a "Loss Leader" :lol: Perhaps we should have a Poll..."How much do you think cartridges will be this time next year ?"

Azzurri Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Well Dan that just proves the old saying right "There's only one thing worse than a Gun Dealer, and that's a Car Dealer" (Hamster excluded of course) Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danimal Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 hitclays i have a gunshop i sell cartridges and i have not got any alterior motive in miss informing you as you are not in my area, on cheap clay cartridges you make £10 per thousand, on game carts you might make 10% thats it! the only people who make more are the manufacturers, the people that import cheap foriegn rubbish and the people in really posh areas who can charge what they want due to their clientelle. either way you have to order 28k at a time to get enough discount to be competitive and you have to store them all etc! as i said they are business wise a waste of time but you have to have them!

AlistairB Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 HitClays, What will you have available? The three in my car are looking at buying when we get there rather than lug them up, and if, as you say, they are cost, we'll buy plenty.

Greenfields members price is only a couple of quid more. However I think I have now purchased all their remaining stock of the 27g Super Fast.
