What is the reason for recent price increase of Sabroxy ?

Basically 15g costs 5$ less than 30g version before increase.
EDIT
Bulk price was about 220$ per kg last year so it's 0,22$ per g. Material for 15g costs over 3$

Yeah, normally I don't like to do that. However, it sold way quicker than anyone anticipated, and the patent holder was having trouble with keeping up with supply. We literally tried to place a reorder and they said they didn't have it. That's never happened before after we launched a new patented product. Usually keeping up with supply when we are the only ones selling it is easy. However, this one flew off the shelf and strained the supply from even the patent holder. Crazy. The raw material cost is also not the same as it was last year.
Also, we technically put it up before we finalized pricing. My team didn't realize it was not finalized, and just put the listing live when they came off production. I didn't want to modify it right after putting it up, so we just rolled with it for the start. However, we had to fix it now that capsules are going up and supply is limited. Packaging costs just jumped 35%, too. Jars, lids, liners and anything made with petroleum just had an increase in pricing, and the supply is extremely limited there, too. Go try to find PETE or HDPE jars, bottles, and lids right now. It's next to impossible. Everyone is scrambling to scoop up the available supply before it runs out. We literally have an outstanding order of PETE jars that they are saying won't be fulfilled till NOVEMBER. That order was made at the end of 2020... Saying the supply chain is fucked right now is putting it mildly. I've never seen it this bad. Everyone is jumping over each other to try and scoop up the supply of shit before it runs out. We are going to run out of stock on many things. It's an inevitability at this point. Supply just can't keep up.
