ProCurve Price Jump?

[Westyfield2]

Last week and the week before I was noting down some stuff to buy, and their prices. Today I've gone to hit the purchase button on something...

HP ProCurve 1810G-8 (J9449A) has jumped from £77.73 to £113.18 . Looking at other retailers (they're all OcUK competitors so I won't name any names) and they've jumped up too, so it's not just one of them.

Anyone know a particular reason? Is there some worldwide shortage of ProCurve 1810s that no-one told me about ?


Note the timescale in this, a matter of weeks. Not months.

Don't know why you felt the need to put that in small text at the bottom... prices change and IME with network kit it can vary from week to week depending on the vendor and supplier.

£80 average for the 1810G-8 to £120 is a reasonably large increase, but they are popular little switches so I'd expect there to be a decent supply of them.
