Whats up with the price increase??

[painterdave72]

I just went to houstons site to look up some parts and most everything on there is up on price alot!!! Some stuff is two hundred dollars more expensive than it was last week!!!

[DeLorean03]

Really ??? What increased that dramatically ... ?

[Tillsy]

It happened early last week - pricing I had grabbed that weekend had changed by last Wednesday.

I'm guessing across the board given even little gromits had jumped up several bucks

I thought your economy was shot to hell at the moment?

I picked up a new throttle body/butterfly assembly last week and it went from $86 to $107.

That's usually a sign of either greed, or availability shortages.

The DMC folks never struck me as the greedy type. So yeah. Uh oh.

Thanks for the heads up. I ordered some parts week before last and didn't notice the price changes. Guess I need to start comparing prices again. Unfortunately, most parts come out of Houston no matter who you order from. Good time to remember we have multiple vendors.

That 10% off from DMC for spending $1500 in 12 months isn't sounding like such a good deal anymore. Guess I'll start calling Rob (PJ Gradys) to compare prices on any kits I order going forward.

True... I'm about to order some new wheel center caps. Last week the set of four was about $32, now $41. I also need a new CPR which was $100, now $164.95. Son of nutcracker!

I just received my louvre support buffer which was $49.95 a few weeks ago, now $61.xx. Overall looks like prices are up at least 20% or more. Although compared to other parts prices I've experienced its not too bad. I've had some sticker shock at the Harley Davidson parts counter.

I believe what you are seeing is parts which are not being reproduced and are coming out of the original inventory have increased in price by 25%.

I ran a couple parts I knew the prices of and compared that to what the price is now, and if a part has gone up, it went up 25%. Not everything went up though. To me it looks like parts which are from the original lot from the 80s have gone up, but if you are looking at a reproduced part price, that has not gone up.

It would be nice if someone from DMC would comment on these increases...
