islandgirl Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 As the C-3 Wax thread stated. C-3 has jumped $10-20 a case..Wonder how long until the other soys hit an all time high... Is there really a soy wax shortage????Time to stock up fellow chandlers.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorrie Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 It seems everything is going up. Not just the price of wax but glassware, dyes and fragrances. I know that the wax I use also has gone up. I think it is up something like $10 a case. What is sad is I think a lot of us will end up going out of business because we can't compete anymore.

candleluver3 Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Well I think everyone is in the same boat that makes soy candles so everyone will eventually have to raise prices so don't get too discouraged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugtussle Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Jakalex posted a couple websites that talk about soy wax. I think it has just gone up on futures (hopes that China will buy what we hope they will.) I think the market has just gone bananas. It really worries me that candles are not a necessity but a luxury. I think we are in for a rough year and maybe a rough future. Again, the rich and big companies are just getting richer and we are paying the price. We own 120 acres out here in the country; maybe I should be raising soybeans and corn instead of making candles?? Carole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
