Skywatcher price rises

[FLO]

Skywatcher's UK importer/distributor released a new trade price list 1st May that affects all their dealers. Unfortunately the price of most models has risen and because there is so little stock available at the moment dealers won't have a lot on their shelves so the price rises will take affect almost immediately.

To be fair to Skywatcher these price rises have been expected for some time, have been discussed here on SGL and are based on the rising cost of Chinese manufactured goods.

If you have a Skywatcher telescope on backorder with us then rest easy, you will not be charged extra. If you have been planning on buying a Skywatcher telescope you might want to do a quick price check then, if you see it at the pre-increase price, place an order ASAP.

Please don't shoot the messenger

Thanks for the heads up mighty prophet - you told us this was going to happen sometime back.

It's good if it realistically reflects the rising prosperity of China.

Surely we can't expect people to work for cheap for too long...
