    Default what is the average price of ARKO shaving stick ?

    the title say's it all, for how much is a ARKO stick normally selling for (locally, web based store are no good comparative because of shipping)

    is 10$ for a case of 12 a good price ?

    It doesn't sell locally here.

    Probably cheap, if you are in Turkey.

    A few years ago a friend of mine brought me some back from Turkey. At that time he paid $0.32 for a stick......but if you can get a dozen for $10......I would call that a pretty good deal. I assume carriage is on top of that?

    I cannot buy Arko locally,
    nor have I ever bought it in bulk.
    But $10 a dozen sounds like a pretty good price point.

    Since ARKO belongs in everybody's shave den,
    I suggest you GO FOR IT.

    Come to think of it, I have NEVER bought any Arko sticks.
    Every stick I have (about 5 now)
    have either been PIFed to me or included with bundled lots of BST purchases.

    I don't use Arko a lot, but when I do, its always a pleasant surprise.
    Say what you will about the aroma,
    but this little stick is a miracle worker when it comes to performance.

    I think the best deal available here in the states is the "subscriber" price on Amazon, about $14.15 for 12 sticks shipped. It was quite a bit cheaper than that not long ago. The price has risen steadily lately. I'm not sure if that is demand driven, or if Amazon just figured out that they were quite a bit cheaper than everyone else.

    $10 per dozen ($0.83) compares well to internet sales: just a little over a penny per gram. That is not bad compared to city center shops in Turkey either. I paid about $0.40 per stick in Istanbul (Çemberlitaş T-Shop), and saw other prices as high as $0.80.

    I didn't know that Amazon offered it this way.
    The price is reasonable, and I can charge it to my Amazon card.
    I think I will subscribe next payday.

    If you can get them for less than $1.50 a stick shipped I think it's a good deal.

    But while I had that page open,
    I ordered a Spieck cream for $6 from an Amazon Prime vendor
    has anyone ever seen a cream tube look like this before?

    I get them locally (in Montreal) for about 1 buck CDN each.
    10$ for a case of 12 is an excellent price and should last you a long time

    May I ask where you found Arko at $10 per dozen?

    No need to hesitate at $10/dozen. That price is more than fair.
