(Food-Beverage-News.Com, March 30, 2016 ) Crystalaire, CA -- The Artful Homemaker heavy duty kitchen shears are now available at a 30% discount on Amazon. These shears have eight utensils in the each pair and are the bestselling of this style on Amazon. The full retail price is $19.99 and they are now available at $13.99.
On the Amazon webpage, About List Prices, Amazon states "Except where noted otherwise, the List Price displayed for products on our website represents the full retail price listed on the product itself, suggested by the manufacturer or supplier, or estimated in accordance with standard industry practice."
These kitchen shears are in the top five sold on Amazon and offer a lifetime guarantee for sharpness and quality. They include eight utensils such as a nut cracker, bottle opener and fish scaler. They come apart to access other utensils and for complete cleaning. A thick sheath with a magnet is included and serves to keep the scissors at arm's reach for the cook on the refrigerator or stove.
The Artful Homemaker began selling a bright green variety of kitchen shears and soon thereafter added in a subdued black and grey model. Now they are selling both. "We mostly sold the black shears", said owner Dale Glass. "Recently there has been an uptick in the sales on the green again. We restocked the black version and we just had our factory make a new order of the green. Both are currently available for $13.99."
A New Yorker article written by George Packer in February 2014 said "Amazon is a global superstore, like Walmart. It's also a hardware manufacturer, like Apple, and a utility, like Con Edison, and a video distributor, like Netflix, and a book publisher, like Random House, and a production studio, like Paramount, and a literary magazine, like The Paris Review, and a grocery deliverer, like FreshDirect, and someday it might be a package service, like U.P.S."
"For the time being, we do not see the price going up.", said Glass. "But there are many companies who charge twenty or even thirty dollars for their kitchen shears. Most likely, they will eventually sell for a price closer to the MSRP."
