this is why topps are so unpopular with fixers because they play silly games with their pricing all the time, we were paying £9.50 before xmas now its £12.50 we were paying £15.50 for the white now £19.99 I dont buy that much sticky from them but we send plenty of customers there for tiles and buy alot of hardibacker from them, now i know they are ripping me i will give my business to some one else

Haven't noticed any pricing hikes lately, infact, my main supplier cut their prices lately. :yikes:

i know topps along with most other places have added the vat back on to the products,but it's not a great price increase

All adhesive comps have a price rise in january....but it depends on the retailer if they pass this on..

So far mine hasn't..
