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.

Huge differencces here in Europe too...

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. :o

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!

Sorry I'm venting here :)

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 ...
