tazkb Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 I have just been on my local rfd's web site to find a gun for our daughter and whilst there thought I would check cartridge prices for a 20g and low and behold my usual Eley first 28g fibre wad have come down from £136 per 1000 to a rather eye poppin £105 per 1000 :eek: so i will be popping in tomorow to grab a few thou, this is a rather odd phenomanem in this day and age and some thing i intend to take advantage off. Question is can this be put down to a 1 off or is this the shape of things to come Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chard Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 (edited) I'd check it out by phone first, mate. Quite a few gun shops don't update their cartridge prices online Let us know if it's kosher, because I'll be there too Edited February 7, 2008 by Chard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-G Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 I heard a dis-used 'lead mine/resource was put back to work which means availability has become better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy W Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 I heard a dis-used 'lead mine/resource was put back to work which means availability has become better.I read in a financial paper that an Australian lead mine was been recommissioned and the Chinese had agreed to purchase 50% of its output. Good news if they are coming down in price, costing me a fortune, it would be cheaper to have a drug habit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mossy835 Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 why are china buying all the wood and lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wookie Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 They're doing a massive industrialisation push and soaking up a lot of oil, lead, steel, prretty much everything. Supply and demand... Same supply, increased demand, prices go up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chard Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 (edited) I rang them and it's wrong I'm afraid - 136 quid for a thousand. I told them the website said 105 quid and they just apologised and said they'd get it corrected. Hey-ho, that's the way it goes, I'll get back to my overpriced Fiocchi fireworks :lol: Anyone used Fiocchi? It's like November 5th every time you pull the trigger Edited February 8, 2008 by Chard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pin Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 why are china buying all the wood and lead. Simple answer is cars. With their economy booming literally millions and millions of people are now able to afford cars, since there a couple of pounds of lead in every car battery and the rate they are churning them out is phenomenal.

dustyfox Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 Well I was watching a programme about China's industry a couple of month's ago. And it said that they are making a loss on everything they make. It was saying if it carries on China's industry will full and the price of clothing, toys etc will go up. Why dont you stop buying stuff that are made in China which is impossable these days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
