Price Increases?

[Pappy]

just looking for info on some of the price increases you all are seeing? i was just informed that arctic cat made a big price increase, along with other companies not related to atv's.

fuel, steel prices, general expenses etc all seem to be finally catching up to us.


anyone else have any price hike info?

[Hondadudeehhhh]

signs of inflation?

Real-estate in my area seems to have gone up another modest 25% this last year.

my dads trucking company imposes fuel surcharges on their customers. their customers costs go up so they raise their prices. One big economical cycle.

There are tons of factors though.

The cost of air hasn't gone up yet, but the quality is getting worse... :huh

I've noticed a ton of things increasing in price, but I've also noticed a lot of cheaper quality products of the same purpose coming around like the cheaper China ATV's etc.

a eltric and heating company by me increased their prices 78%!!!
people are pissed over here. but thank god that we dont live in that area where they control.
idk whats gonna on with this wrold any more:confused: :(

natural gas went up a buttload here

[ZeroLogic]

Before my Christmas vacation gas was at $2.11 per gallon, now it's like $2.43. :ermm: It cost me 10 dollars a fill my quad up for a weekend of riding.:grr:

[Colby@C&DRacing]

I was just notified today that holeshot mxr's are going up 10% :macho :grr: I asked about the other tires from ITP but did not get a definate answer but I forsee them going up also!!!!!!!!!

[Pappy]

that sucks colby:scary: im sure the steel costs will affect other quad parts:ermm:

i know im working on the largest cost increase the company i work for has ever done. rising costs with regards to making the product and delivery are the 2 reasons.

ive been informed that many companies that make everyday products are pushing costs higher now that the new year is here. one shampoo/soap and make up company is projecting a 26% price increase, and food prices are about to finally jump higher.

sounds like fun:grr:

Walsh's prices went up,their subframe is now 600 dollars,instead of the 480ish i paid.

That's so lame. I still have 34 cent stamps left over. They hike the stamp price faster than I use them. Looks like I'll be buying a bunch of one cent stamps now:rolleyes: Also, I seriously doubt Walsh needs an extra 120 dollars to manufacture a subframe. Can you say MARK UP:rolleyes:

[JDiablo]

Yup i know,i seen that price,im just glad i bought all my stuff before these garbage prices went up.

My dad owns a logging business, and a trucking business, and the same goes for him, he hates to have to raise the prices for hauling lumber for the companies. But he is left w/ no choice w/ the prices of fuel. Now the companies are mad at him for raising prices, but he cant gain 1 cent w/ out raising the prices w/ the price of fule. And wtf is the deal w/ off road and on road diesal being more than gas???

[luvmyex]

I do gas has gone up .21 cents in the last 2 freeking days!:mad: They introdused a new tax of .03 so they jack it up .21 ??? WTF!

[TacomaNC4X4]

its all a bunch of BS. notice how a 20oz drink cost as much as a 22oz beer?

I actually was offered another job with my company in the Eastern Panhandle where Pappy lives I believe......and I was blown away with the real estate prices:eek2: I couldn't take the job because the salary increase wasn't enough to cover the housing cost......

Honestly, I'm supprised thay havent skyrocketed already.

I work for a very large PreEngineered Steel Buildings Manufacturer. The cost of our roll steel and plate steel has gone up 250%+ in the last 3 years.

At one point we were getting steel price increases 3-4 times a month.

It's largely due to the shortage of coke to make the steel. China's booming economy is resulting in major industrial building. Using up billions of tons of steel, and they outbid us steel producers for the coke to make the steel.

We had a ship in harbor full of coke and it turned around and left for China because they bid 50% higher than we bought it for at the last minute.

It will get better, but not in the next 4-5 years. They have hit a peak usage though, IMHO. So base steel prices shouldn't get much worse.

for what? name some bills that have made steel prices go up. blame the president because another nation is booming and can pay more. its all about supply and demand. do you want the guy to set a manditory price on fuel? if our goverment stepped in and regulated prices on stuff, it would go against what america is. you might as well go communist! now wasn't clinton the one that signed in the free trade bill? (i think) blame whoever that what for your jobs and money going to mexico.

Yep, they sure do. I dont even bother responding anymore. Anyone that makes a statement like that has already showed me they are absolutely clueless about whats really going on in our world.
