Our prices change dynamically to react to the market to ensure we are always offering the best price. When new stock is received, this can sometimes trigger a pricing update if our competitors have changed their prices since we last had stock. This is standard in forward-thinking online retail enterprises now and is practised by many large merchants and marketplaces like Amazon. It allows us as a small company to keep on top of the competition and always know we are offering the best price online. The Autofold Elite will sometimes raise in price because it is sold online extremely cheaply for what it is, as several other large retailers discounted it out of the gates when it launched and so they may be raising their prices a little as they realise they are selling it far too cheap (high street shops are selling these for around £2500 on average). Supply chain congestion and material costs are still rising and so manufacturers are issuing new price lists regularly to reflect increasing costs, so this can also affect prices in a negative direction. Please rest assured you at £1800, still got a bargain and the best price online at the time for this scooter.
Please also be aware you say the scooter has not been available for 9 weeks, however you could have pre-ordered the chair at any time on the website for the price that was displayed on the website at the time.
