Pricing rollercoaster

Lighthouse Publications has announced two major price changes. The first one to cheer about is the Canada Album. This deluxe hingeless album has been retailing for more than $1200 for the three volume complete Canada. The price has been really slashed to $797 - a price which includes the 2005 supplement. We certainly hope that this dramatic price reduction holds for next year's supplements. We have lowered the prices of our instock albums to reflect this change.

The second price change is not for the better. All Lighthouse mounts have been increased in price by one dollar. We received advance notice of the change and we were able to stock up at the old price. We will not be raising the prices of our in-stock mounts, so while they last you can buy at the old price. New orders of inventory will in the future be priced at the new level.

Today I was busy with a good customer from the west coast. He found lots of delightful stamps and toward the end of nearly five hours in the store he decided to buy the best Seaway Invert of the three we could currently offer. In one of the co-incidences that sometimes happens, a few minutes later I received a phone call from a prominent dealer who wanted to talk about Seaways in part because he had just sold an Inverted Seaway.
