Discussion NCase M2 price increase

[MadeByMan]

Is it me or has the Ncase M2 casses have increased in price lately. I have been waiting for the silver grater model to come back in stock and a few days ago I saw the price as £175 but then I checked again and it is now £185. I messaged Ncase in the chat and they said they was made aware of the price increase.

So my question is "has the price gone up or is it just me?"

I think you answered your own question in the sentence right before it.

Perhaps it's the value of the British Pound that has changed since the last time you checked, as these aren't produced in the UK:

If you look at the 12 month setting, you can see it has fluctuated way over 10%, while the difference you note is about 6%. So it might be the shipping company or storefront that are calculating the volatility.
Also, if a country has a lot of problems with international shipping and package delivery (Italy is known to be very unreliable for instance), they could also subsidize costs for lost or damaged orders this way.

Either way, you're buying through the owner's website (I assume) so the chance for a sale is not high considering it's basically manufactured depending by request.
