Stephen Prunier Posted August 21, 2021 Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 I've decided that I would like to add the #16000 Shapton Glass Stone to my setup. I realize that there expensive, but why is there huge price variations from vendor to vendor? I've seen the stone listed for as low as $132 to over $200. The accessories are even worse. I've seen the heavy holder selling for $59 to over $100! I know the demand is greater than the supply right now, but, these prices come from the top stores that we all use, and not eBay or shady outfits. Not being familuar with Shapton's prices I'm a little taken back. I often see a difference of maybe 10% on Norton, DMT, Sundries, etc. but what I'me seeing is a HUGE difference. Also, To all of the members who are in the path of Henri, Be Safe! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhighlander Posted August 21, 2021 Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 My guess is that Shapton does not set pricing agreements with retailers, so they are free to list as high they feel they can get away with. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Prunier Posted August 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 I had a feeling that was the case. Because LV is out of stock, but the cheapest, and Wood Craft has it in stock but are the most $$. I'll place an order with RobC. over the boarder. His price isn't bad and he has them in stock. Plus I'll be helping him to feed all his kids! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
