£13.99 + VAT and that includes the recent BAL price increase. I have to spend over a £100 a time though and that includes free delivery.

not hard to spend over 100 quid.
i did think it was a bit much.
they recon 24.88 less 30 % trade= 17.42 + vat
i know bal have put there prices up but even so.
i ve already stoped using green star , because of price increses .
and there rapid set is over priced.
seems like they are doing there best to lose more people.
the only time i ues bal now is if is bought my client.
or need something speical.
mosic fix, primer, and the odd over priced white star. | | |

Funny. I always thought the BAL prices were set for distributors. So they are not allowed to charge any less.
I'll have to check it out.
