So most companies have raised their prices, GNF by a minimum of £5 per firework often more over 2008 prices. Epic have removed the free items for collection and had some price increases and im sure other retailers have too...
Its the same fireworks, possibly even some of the same stock, did they really need to add to their prices to cover the credit crunch? or increased fuel cost? But at £5 minimum per firework in most cases its cutting the value you get.
Is this the pattern we will see from now on untill no one can afford them? I certainly hope not!
The vast majority are of sellers are stocked up now- what do you think? Are the prices notably more expensive?
It looks to me like there is a balance- some lines have gone up, but big prices rises "across the board" don't seem to have happened. Which is good.
Most shops, too, have varied their ranges from last year.
