Baccy Price Hike!

BigFrank · 01-19-2009, 08:05 PM

Ordered two tins last week at 8.75/per. Browsing online a little tonight and the same site has tins for 9.78!

I checked a few other sites and it seems most sites have hiked tin prices up.

Anyone have any idea what is up with this, I cross checked a few other brands and noticed price changes.

Does this have anything to do with the SCHIP thing going on? I didnt think that in some cases 50 cents or more would be passed onto the consumer.

It always gets passed on to the consumer

, but haven't looked at prices lately.

It's certainly not SCHIP. The bill is still in Congress. And even when it does pass and get signed, it currently calls for the taxes to go into effect April 1.

It could be business slowing down and there not being any way to reasonably downsize
