SILVER/GOLD SURCHARGE (Add on)
Our original prices (base prices) were figured when silver was about $7/Oz. Since then price of silver went up as high as $15/oz and now around $12/oz which is about 70% higher than $7/oz.
The reason for pricing with add-on is that it is not feasible for us to change the pricing (on over 1500 items) as prices of silver/gold widely fluctuates. So to avoid large number of changes to website, accounting system and the price stickers, we decided to put in an add-on. We hope that price of gold/silver will come down and stabilize so we will simply reduce/do away with the add-on without having to make thousands of changes.
We are trying to put a *NET* price (no add-on) on Items we don't purchase frequently. All new items we are adding will have a *NET* price as we are keeping larger than usual stock on these.
Add ons are listed below.
