That damn so called credit crunch has bitten the scrap industry It seems that the only thing metal that has held it's value is gold/platinum. Somehow I don't think that the pellet industry will drop it's prices now they've raised them, because if they did then they'd have to match it up to the inflation rate right now. Don't forget that our finest pellets have to be made to an exact tolerance for what we need. This does not include the things like man power and tooling up to keep this industry afloat, I have all 3 calibers and noticed that .20 is the hardest to find and can cost a little more than .22 pellets. I'm still paying £.6.79 on a tin of 500 in .177 on Air Arms Field Diablo, although I'd like to see the prices come down in reality I can't see it happening Quote Link to post

kristian 9 Posted October 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 the price of scrap metal is all ways going up and down so i dont think the price of pellets will move This is the reason that pellets are now so expensive! because of the price of lead! It's the reason that in the last few weeks pellet prices have gone up a fair bit more than normal. Have checked and the prices are rising a bit but nothing like they were. Has anyone noticed over the last week there hasn't been everyman and his dog round the streets collecting metal! i honestly believe it has something to do with the goverment i maybe wrong but maybe there won't be so many manholes and signs going missing now lol Quote Link to post
