Do you think Willow Prices will rise in 2010? We saw a large rise in 2008, dont think there was a rise in 2009?
Surely must be a rise when VAT goes back up on 1st of Jan... could this mean more expensive bats for us! :o
-
j.s. wrights have kept there prices the same for 2010, but as you said vat is going back up 2.5% in jan
-
Wouldn't think a rise of 2.5% on Vat would hit the consumer too hard but some of the prices the prices being charged now are simply crazy. £300 for a bat come on that cant be justified ?
-
So a £100 bat will cost £2.50 extra... I can live with that ;)
-
not just willow, 2.5% is also on handles,grips,sanding belts, stickers,scruff sheet etc

As VAT registered companies, it will not hit them in the slightest when buying but it will result in a slight increase from the retailer who never cut the price when the VAT rate was lowered in the first place the thieving buggers!!!!
