Can anyone help me confirm this as I'm relying on my own memory which is a dangerous game at the best of times.

I'm sure I recently read an article about the latest moonboard with LED light system, and I'm pretty sure I read it on UKC as I don't really frequent any other climbing sites. Thing is, I can't for the life of me find the article now.

In the article it showed the 3 sets of holds available, original, set a and set b, and it gave the prices as £120, £150 and £150 respectively, which I'm sure tallies with what I remember seeing on the moon site previously.

This morning I decided that it was finally time to dip into my pocket and buy a proper set of holds for my board, only to find that set a and set b are now £200 each!

Am I remembering this correctly? If I am, what exactly is the justification for a 33% price increase? Is there a world resin shortage?

I was ready to pay out the already apparently steep price of £150 but I'm having second thoughts again now at £200.

hmm, facts: 1, memory: 0

I'm still convinced they used to be £150 though.

The article could have been edited, maybe?

Intrigued, I used a cache website to see what was what. Looking at September last year they were £150, then went up to £170 in October but no more caches between Oct 2015 and now, they are £200. 33% price increase in 6 months? Better buy them quick if the pattern is to continue!
