Pricing pressures - no I'm not raising my rates by 16%

Executive summary of this post - The market is up 16% last 30 days and I have to adjust my posted prices. Effective midnight, new rates. Assess your needs, plan and order accordingly - TODAY.

OK, ok, so I love words...

...PLEASE DO NOT LET MY WORD PLAY DISTRACT YOU FROM THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS MESSAGE. SKIP TO THE BOTTOM IF NEED BE.

This is a BLOG with the acronym of "GIST", because it supplies you a simple but powerful message...that actually, you have been waiting for. It's lengthy, but essential reading. Please take a moment.

Gratitude...It's now the beginning of month 5 for COINSHOP...and you made it happen. Thank you.

Info...the market was gently falling for most of this first few months...and you felt that by my FAST SUPPLY at FAIR RATES and the inclusion of MORE METAL THAN YOU EXPECTED, or some kind of special action on my part (in almost every client interaction). SPEED, SERVICE, SUPPORT.

Strategy...change is upon us.

The SILVER market, since first week September 2022, IS UP 16% !

...and I am unable to hold my prices beyond today. The COINSHOP store will be adjusted, overnight tonight (5/10/22), and on average the posted prices will be going up between 5% and 15%.

Just the normal metals market swings...that sadly I cannot absorb.

All orders placed up to and including midnight TODAY, will be unaffected and honoured

Task...

- make a critical assessment of your likely forward needs

- factor in the idea that the global shift we've waited for may well have just occured

- make your buying decisions accordingly
