Yes.. it’s February.. but it could have been March 😉
First of all, a quick review of the past year:
Because of Covid, we have all suffered repeated confinements, closed shops and a reduced social life… For my part, this has resulted in a drop in the number of visitors to my workshop and has caused major slowdowns in production (some customers waited almost a year..).
Being very dependent on carriers, they used the COVID alibi to justify the mediocrity of their services. They only did shit by misplacing packages, delivering 3 months late, and breaking my balls when I asked for a refund thanks to the insurance taken out… THE TOTAL when a carrier refunded me in 4 TIMES an order that took 6 months to admit having lost…
Regarding the MKS site:
The DISCOUNT tab appears. this includes:
– Coins with which I no longer wish to work and of which I am selling off the end of my stock.
– NEW MKS items on sale for a more or less limited time (in order to avoid missing out on a good deal, check the page often 😉
Since 2018, most of the raw materials and metals that I use have continued to increase without having influenced my prices. But today, with an increase of more than 50% in the price of silver, I must admit that I have to review this. So my prices have just been revised upwards for the most part. I assure you, my prices do not increase by 50% 😉
To give you an idea of the increase in the price of raw materials, a shell set with 4 reduced and re-notched pieces in Morgan 1921 cost 220 Euros in 2014, today, 8 years later, you have to pay 400.00 Euros ( and I don’t win more on a set than before..)
As always, if you have an idea for a gimmick project, don’t hesitate to contact me 😉
Good luck to all, and most importantly, take care of those you love.
