some might notice a slight problem with availablity of their favourite lines soon due the big manufactures announcing wholesale price increases in Dec that would take effect in Jan and then were surprised when many retailers ( and vending machine customers were the worst) started to stock up on their best sellers in Dec so they could make a small killing when the retail increase went live.
Of course what resulted is that the supply to wholesalers was not increased consequently some of the more honest (niaive!) retailers couldn't get all the stock they needed to sell normally.
From a personal bitter and twisted aspect I hope they all bought too much and have to sell them off cheap in 9 months before they are out of date.

I am new to this site and couldn't help notice the posts re Easter eggs on sale already. The fault lies with the consumer.
I work in Wholesale and have been buying pallets of Creme eggs for weeks now, our Cash and Carry's sell them and those that buy them, sell them on. The bottom line is that if there was no demand out on the high st then they would not sell.
All retailers are in the market to sell goods to make a profit and if Joe Public buys the eggs cause they want them then where is the problem?

But that is not why I joined this group, I collect wrappers. Not just Chocolate and related items ( though they fill 4 folders) but also sugar wrappers, bottle labels, can labels, crisp packets, ice lolly wrappers and much more besides.

I am keen to swap with like minded collectors as I have a bin bag full of stuff to utilise. The stuff isn't old or specialised enough for ebay and I would rather swap than sell to increase my own collection.
Any one interested?
