The unhighlighted bit makes sense, but I am sorry that I don't understand the highlighted bit in relation to the quoted post.

 

Edit:

PS With this subject and with no idea of actual production costs, as ever we'll end up going nowhere and it might just be worth noting that the Op legged it four days and 75 posts ago.

I agree with your post, but I think this thread is predicated on a misunderstanding of basic economics. I doubt there's any massive profit in it all, and the recent increase is just about the 150% cost of lead relative to June last year.

If they weren't making money out of them they wouldn't be selling them. The economics are very easy when they're expensive shoot less of them, it's much cheaper that way and you save money :good:

 

When they drop in price or on offer buy more shoot more.

 

Any who don't like the manufacturers running around in expensive motors don't buy that make of carts.

Tv and electrical goods cost a lot more in percentage of your wages too back then. Today's prices with scale of economy and fully automated machines to make all the components and the carts themselves, they should never cost the same today as they did back then.

The latest increases are hardly gradual though.....overnight my local shop has increased their budget pigeon load (velocity plus) from £199/thousand to £239/thousand. That's some increase and they'd already gone up several times in the last year or two.

hello, where are you in wilts dave?, just carts near abingdon have some classic pigeon 6 in 30g at £200 x 1000/ fibre or fiocci F3 28g 6 plastic £180 x 1000
