whats happened yesterday the price for the standard was $199 but nows its $249. why the massive rise in price.:ranting:

sorry i forgot to add this:
 
also on the main page it has the old prices.

There was an announcement on the 10th of last month: http://www.viart.com/announcement_of_price_increase.html

I think, also, you have to remember that this is a British company pricing in US$.
I think that after the last few months it must be a bit of a challenge to hold those prices here in the UK
