islandgirl Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 You got my attention with the "Holy Crap".. Glad it's not soy!!! :tiptoe: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernadette Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Even Yaley gel, which is what Michael's carries, is $93.00 for 35 lbs.! And that's LP:angry2:. It's disgusting. The price has been increasing almost weekly ever since last fall. I think it has alot to do with Penreco selling the division. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CathyinME Posted April 15, 2010 Author Share Posted April 15, 2010 I was going to go back to doing some gels for a wholesale acct but I guess not now:angry2: stick with the palm pillars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernadette Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Wholesale isn't worth it on gel candles anymore. It has to be the most costly wax of all. I can't understand why it's so expensive. Some places are raising their prices every two weeks:rolleyes2...I've been watching. 50 lbs. of hp gel on one site has gone up to $175.00 for 50 lbs. and in checking today, there's no price listed on their site, which means it'll be going up again. It's disgusting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelphicScorpion Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 (edited) 7lb at Hobby Lobby is 40 dollars. They do have a 30oz for 12, but that's not a whole lot of gel, is it?Although Hobby Lobby gives a 40% off anything, so you could nearly cut that in half.

JAVAEBOY Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Bernadette,I wish my local Michaels stores would handle the 35lb buckets. Assuming they would still accept their 40% coupons, that would be $55.80. I have been paying around $81 plus shipping from Candlewic for their LP. It is now $90. I only need LP, so I would love to pay $56 for a bucket, if that is possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernadette Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Well, Michaels carries Yaley gel, but not the 35 lb. buckets anymore, and the price plus coupon is probably why. The price I was quoting is an ordered price, directly from Yaley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeckyW Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Well I feel better now. I bought a little bit to try, and thought it was so expensive, I couldn't imagine trying to sell and make a profit, let alone wholesale. I really didn't like working with it either-although I did like the clearness..lolGlad to see I am not the only one with a price issue.
