Default 10% ATB Price Increase?

My dealer told me today that he had been informed by his supplier that a 10% across-the-board price increase in their entire stock was going to be effective June 1. I had him go ahead and order the one I had been wanting, but could not make the mental jump.......I went ahead and leaped.

Suspicious, I'd say. Sounds like your dealer needs another supplier.

Both of you could be right, but he doesn't really care if I buy one or not. He does it for me as a favor and at his cost.....and no transfer fee. He doesn't make anything off of it. I don't know if it's good, or bad but I get new ones for around 67% of list.

Folks...I was just giving a heads-up in case anybody that was close to making a decision on a new purchase could consider possible price increases. You know how it is...if somebody is introducing a price increase....it may mean that others will follow. We all know the price of EVERYTHING keeps going up.
