I just wanted to let folks know, production for this season has begun -
the nice weather finally arrived. This may sound like a sales pitch,
well, it really isn't, but it kind of is.. I just got hit with sticker
shock, I had to order more supplies, and it set me back a small fortune.
My prices are going up effective next week, and the reason for this is
multiple..
1) Chispa Pyrite out of Peru has become extinct or not mined anymore. I
purchased the last 11lbs that my supplier could get. _ This was costly_,
but is enough to get me going for awhile. I will not make orgonite
without pyrite in it. It works without it, but it works way better with it.
2) My Crystal Wholesaler has raised prices quite a lot. For small
stones, I am paying $35.00 a pound, vs $9 a pound of previous years. Ouch!
3) Metal keeps going up, by the minute. I use a lot of
copper/gold/silver, all of them are expensive. Gold is going up
constantly. I'm phasing out Aluminum.
4) I changed mold sizes, so my pieces are larger than my initial pricing
was factoring.
5) I didn't anticipate on using semi-precious stones, but I am, better
quality stuff too. Costs are insane on these but the results are much
better.
So if anyone has been holding out, now might be a good time. I'm going
to hold off the price increase on any orders coming in this week out of
fairness for those that just placed them. But any order coming in after
this coming Sunday will have the price increase. Keep in mind, many
makers of this stuff are selling similar pieces in the $100-$200 per
piece price range for the bigger ones. I've never had an unsatisfied
customer in several years of doing this.
As a bonus, any order over placed this week, gets a
gold/copper/silver+jasper pendant tossed in for free ($50.00 value), and
2 extra gridders. ($6 value). If you want an order form, let me know in
private email and I will send it over. Interestingly, I think this
years pieces are by far the best yet. My wife rarely commends on this
stuff, but saw my new big pieces, and said "Wow! Those look really
cool!".. In 4 years she's never said that before.
Do something great for yourself, and humanity. Thanks, and back to the
regularly scheduled program.
(for those that already ordered, orders will start shipping out this week!)
