Extremes in Prices

Has anyone else come across this? I look at several web sites for cultures. I just bought TM 81 125 DCU from one site for $5.50. On the other site it was $42.97. Now in the reverse, the second site had Mycodore for $15.97 whereas the same packet on the first site was $33.50. Now I purchased both of these at the lower prices so they are correct. Not sure why the huge disparity but it certainly makes shopping around worth your time.

Al, I can help you with this problem. If you will buy all future cultures from me, I can guarantee consistency in pricing ... consistently high, of course, but I'm assuming you're willing to pay extra for the consistency. Right? Right? Al ... ?

I really appreciate your kind offer Andy but I think I'll stick with shopping around! LOL I just find it very strange that there are such huge differences. I could understand a couple of dollars but these are significant. I have to wonder if they are misprints or if they thought they could actually get that much more.

Maybe different amount?
I am buying more thermo C and Artisan Geek has 100g for 30 dollars while the 10g sachet is 7.49 bucks. So I think I'll get 100g.

No Ann these were the exact same items. I really don't want to post the links as I don't want to affect anyone's business but I will tell you that they both have great deals on things as a rule. These were the only two items I found to be out of line.

I think I will compare prices from now on, I do that from time to time but many times I have no choice because if I have to get things from 2 different shops, the shipping is killing me.
Actually now I have to buy more of my cultures and some rennet (my renco is acting up for whatever reason) and also few more molds, and of course 1 important culture is not available in 1 shop and 1 mold is not available on the other!

I hear you - it can be a real puzzle trying to put together an order, based on whether you can get everything from one place (saving on shipping), or whether a cheaper price from another place will be offset by a separate shipping charge, or ...
