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

 

[brian c]

yes Gary i have noticed,Mapei have put there prices up 3%apparantly so my local shop is now just a little cheaper than b and q.I and DC comented on the Topps price increase before christmas as it happenned to me.

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..

Same as Gary, they told me it went up twice to that price in a very short space of time

I assume that the price increase reflects the national increase in the price for Cement which normally applies from jan 1st.
