    Go down to your local street market.
    plently of us sellers there with all the retro sweets you can imagine.
    we sell over 90 different sweets alone and we have only a 12 ft x 4 ft stall.
    we tried mail order but felt the cost of the postage was unfair to the customers.
    If we havent got it in stock this week we will no doubt have it next week and the same applys to our neighbouring markets

    I don't think that 89p for 110grams is over priced.
    Also not every market has a stall that sells retro sweets and there are plenty of people who for one reason or another can't get out let alone get to a market.

    i think it is especially when they cost between 10 and 15p per 100 grams from wholesale
    we sell ours at 50p per 100 grams

    Also not strictly true with the 'only 89p pre 110grams' because i have just tested out their system and they charge you 55p p&p for EVERY bag you order bringing it to 1.44 per ( Doesnt specify a weight)

    Well the other site that b3nton posted is higher in postage and in some of their sweets they are over double the price.
    I'm really happy that you sell yours at 50p per 100 grams but as you don't post your goods your business is of no use to those of us that for one reason or other can't get to any market that you attend.
    I wish you and your business every success.
