Absco Pool Pump Shed Price increase!!!

Hello All just a FYI for all budding observatory builders.

Went into the big green guys to order my Pool shed observatory and paid $297 like it says on the website. While i was waiting for service browsed through the brand new shed catalog (you know incase a new model more suitable is about to hit our shores.) and noticed something interesting regarding the prices listed in the catalog regarding the Pool shed.

Looks like a price rise might be in the future for these guys, something about increased demand and having to move to a bigger factory when i asked the special orders lady.

Well that sucks. I was thinking of buying one of those because it was cheap.

Don't worry Dark. The price atm is still $297 and the lady couldn't tell me when the price would be increasing (or if it actually would be). you might have a few weeks or months yet. Although the booklet did say prices current til june 2016

When I was looking for mine in December, everywhere had much higher prices than Bunnings. All around the $450+ mark iirc.
