 I remember the price hike alert. I was unaware of the new milk price reduction though. I don't get much time to read or watch the news while school is in. I know I'd like to see the price drop on whey. I don't think it would be out of the realm of possiblity. Great post, it definitely has me thinking. Universal / Animal Rep

Just buy Lipotropic Protein. We have priced a five pounder at around 30 bucks, and kept it there as we have improved the blend, the taste and everything else about the product. Support the companies who play fair with you in good and bad markets

| QUOTE (Josh47933 @ Sep 4 2009, 03:41 AM) | You guys probably remember a yr. or two ago when supplement companies circulated alerts that the price of milk worldwide was going way up, so they'd be forced to increase prices big time. Well, I saw on the news tonight where milk prices have plunged and many dairy farmers are going broke.
So, with this development, I wonder if we'll see the prices drop to BELOW the prices we were paying before the price increases. My suspicion is that they'll keep the prices up there because we're used to paying that, at this point.
I think I' may write to a couple of these companies and ask when we can expect the prices to drop that way since the market value of milk is now much less than it was even before. Might get some interesting answers from them as to how they can justify keeping the prices where they are now. Profit margins will be out the ass if they do.
Anyone else have this cross their mind? |
Prices will never drop to below what they were before. Dairymen are just being forced to cut the size of their herd or go out of the game all together. Due to this, alfalfa prices have dropped off the board and it is very hard to sell at this point. The market for milk will only increase in demand with limited supply.

I know I'll stop buying whey retail if they don't conform to what everyone knows the current market price is. Has anyone inquired at any of these manufacturers yet? I plan to do so, myself and see what thy have to say about it. |
I think your giving the masses too much credit. Most people are morons and will buy whatever they're friends, some pro bodybuilder on an advert or the dude at GNC tell them to buy. And as for the retailer, for them the price is set by whatever the customer is willing to pay. Not that I don't hope your right of course, I just feel like the average consumer is clueless. I guess we'll see. |
Exactly what I'm trying to say. There wont actually be "a company" that loses customers upon this, instead ALL the supplement companies may do it hand in hand to keep prices up so they "force" people into buying it as they've used to regardless of there dramatic profit increase. Now I know the word "force" is offensive to many of us as we shouldn't be acting like pigs and buying whatever we're sold, but again I think the majority of supp buyers are morons, that is why the supp companies will still have "enough customers" to keep there illegal actions going. I mean, so what if all ten or twenty of us in this thread stop buying whey if another 100 out there are still buying anything they are sold? Just like how muscletech is still a best seller:D MANY know how crappy there supps are, but morons were enough to make it going!! They will do it again and make the whey companies go with there prices!!!
