Just noticed that all ioptron mounts have jumped in price overnight?

Isn't this hobby all too expensive already!!??

Its annoying that almost everyone in the world over this past year has been hit financially with varying degrees, only to then have to contend with increasing prices...and Brexit...and COVID....better end it at that...

CEM120: £3,789 on FLO?

£3,250 everywhere else?

Sometimes when i see the new prices i start to cry

Could be Covid-related increases in shipping costs feeding through into new stock prices...

Sure the 120 used to be £2600 For the standard model

Raw material price,  shipping costs etc have all gone up as people try to claw back some cash due to covid..

You only have to look at second-hand prices, more or less the same as  new for some sellers

Its all a mess

Agreed. But I prefer to buy from FLO, and the price hike is ONLY at FLO?

I'm sure they would price match..

There's a few others out there that show that items are in stock, so maybe still showing old prices.. at least with Flo they're honest, if it's out of stock, it usually is
