Think the willow people have used this as anexcuse to increase prices a bit further as well....know our bat prices went up as of today by 10%

The custom service last year was priced at �220 but The lads that got them had chosen a practically finished cleft like I did rather than a raw one hence the lower price as it was less man hours for rob. Just a finishing job rather than a fully customised service. I'm sure the lads will back this up. Had we all chosen a raw cleft or made him chop one down from a log it would have been the �220 price. The price I was quoted originally was �220 but rob did mine and simmys at �180 seen as we both purchased onthe same day. Anyway to sum up the price on paper has increased by �20 same as the mp+1.

That's what I was trying to say. How come they've increased there prices so much on trees planted x amount of years ago. Supply and demand I suppose.

Yeah I think a lot of podshavers are a bit mad with the suppliers over it. When I heard it was going up I wasn't expecting a big jump like some have managed to get away with.
Oh yeah definitely. I woudnt be bat babbling if the bats were bab

The big willow merchants have you by the balls ,the big trees with top willow are getting harder to find ,so if you want a top grade cleft unfortunatly you have to pay for it.Also things like the vat going up increases there diesel prices for haulage etc ,knock effect for everything . Wrights sell about 300,000 clefts a year worldwide

diesel is �1.33 down here at the moment!!! added nearly �15 a tank full to fill up my car

When you see that figure 300,000 you think god that's a lot but to put it into perspective with the amount of bats that get made (in the uk alone) it really isn't much at all

monopoly springs to mind...if u control that much willow u can almost dictate a price and people have to pay it if they want it

hell4leather cricket · « **Reply #26 on:** January 04, 2011, 11:26:38 PM »

supply and demand , wrights supply in my opinion the best and lightest clefts around they have there drying spot on .

I tried ordering some willow from wrights a few back just before xmas i spoke at length with jeremy ruggles he told me the minimum order quantity was 50 clefts . . . I thought about it then decided to go ahead with the minimum order. A couple of days later i got an e mail from him saying that the minimum order had gone up to 200 and Wrights dont like dealing with small operations. To me i find it shocking as their attitude will be the death of small 'boutique' brands

200 clefts is minimum , and how much are grade one clefts cost to buy from them ?

that will really effect up and coming bat makers

The outlook for aspiring bat makers looks grim
