figgy Posted January 7, 2020 Report Share Posted January 7, 2020 What's the most you have seen a tin of 500 jsb pellets for. There are places you can buy from online for around £10.00 delivered to your door. Some shops will sell for around this depending on amount of tins you buy like Swillington Shooting Supplies. Rang a couple of localish shops one small and one a larger place. Small shop aafd £13.50 a tin, thought fair enough others are about the same all charge couple quid more for the AA over the JSB and your only a little place. Large shop for 500 JSB £17.00 a tin, I had to ask twice, thought I had heard wrong and he was saying £7.00 for a 200 tin. 😵 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.C Posted January 7, 2020 Report Share Posted January 7, 2020 I pay about £13 a tin for aa 4.52. I know I could get them cheaper but he's a local outdoors shop and so I always buy there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitebridges Posted January 7, 2020 Report Share Posted January 7, 2020 It can get worse figgy. I have two guns in .25 one is FAC and the other <12 ftlbs Heard good things about the New JSB lead free .25 at 16.54g There's 150 in a tin at £11.25 a tin, so i make that 7.5p a pellet. So what did i do? Order two tins. What a loon!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted January 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2020 You expect to pay more for larger calibers especially in lead free. It's when they want 30% a fiver more per tin than most other places. Rip off for anyone who don't know any better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figgy Posted January 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2020 Most places I've looked the AA fields are around £13.50 for 500 in .22 two to three pounds more than the same JSB's don't make sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old man Posted January 10, 2020 Report Share Posted January 10, 2020 A dealer I know doesn't stock AA anymore. He said at his last attempt to order his supplier would not sell less than 50 tins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figgy Posted January 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2020 Nor can I, they come in sleeves of five so different head sizes in the two main calibers would make up the order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultrastu Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 Not sure what the mark up on pellets is but it wont be a lot so 50 tins will probably cos the rfd around £ 400 and they sell them all for around £600 .ish . Point is .shops like country ways /bar .buy pellets by the pallet full and thats just one brand like jsb . Lots of people my self included often buy a few sleeves at a time .last time i bought jsb kings i bought 30 tins . I went into my local rfd over xmas and bought an assortment of tins to try . (6 in total) So if a shop thinks small they will stay small . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen some of the cost figures for pellets and some of the cheaper brands are as you say but the £200 margin will have to have the VAT almost £35 removed giving about £165 margin and 50 tins could easily take 6 months to move for the smaller shops. With the bigger brands I know for a fact the margin is much less and some of the figures mentioned in this thread only give single figure pence profit. So to go big instead of staying small as you put it means you might need to sell 100 tins to make £7 and I`m pretty sure the time spent with the sale means they are being sold at a loss.

Ultrastu Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 Ok fair points .but how do pound shops make a profit ? And stay in business Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted January 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 All this sold at a loss is carp. Same with cartridges. They still make a profit or they wouldn't sell them. If they make 5pence in a tin it's still a proffit, their time is just that time. They're there regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not profit tho after the over heads 👍. this is why companies are closing all the time mate . we have a 20% mark up on doors but most are only£90-100. £15-20 to talk for 15 mins to a customer then get 2 lads to unload a truck in 10 mins , store in our container over night then load it back up in a customer car. Our local competition is making £6 a door 😮. 2 hours ago, Ultrastu said: Ok fair points .but how do pound shops make a profit ? And stay in business I have no idea on that one. Our local £1 land has just shut . They have 30 year leases on the shops and pay minimum wage but £50-100,000 a year rent around here on big retail parks plus the rates must be the same again. ive heard it’s total lose on plaster board and plaster products but they claim it back against the tax .
