Why would you buy brand x candy bar for a nickel ,when you could buy brand xx for 3 cents ??:laughing: Do you know how much mark up their making off that brand x candy bar??:laughing:

Greedy candy bar makers. Don't they know they are going to price themselves out of the market?

RE: Smoody, You are trying to pass your opinion on as fact. With 2 business degrees you should be able to understand the many things that have caused prices on the grey market tractors to rise here in the US.
For instance, the dollar vrs. the Yen. The large increase in shipping fees. The increase in port fees. The increase in port inspections. The increase in getting the container from the port to your place of business.
There may be some dealers that are Gouging people the prices that Ernie showed are not out of line at all.

it is fact that you can get a 10 yr old US branded machine for the same price as a 30 year old Yanmar now, you think I just decided to make this all up? not to mention my complaint was on a $10,200 price tag on YM2610, even Ernie said that was outrageous, I never said his prices were bad. yea I did question him when he decided to take a shot at me for no reason.

The entire debate began as me stating USA reconditioners are taking good machines and putting a lot of cosmetic labor into them pushing prices up rivaling US brands, simple fact there, and thats technically not referring to any of the dealers on here that I am aware of but instead their suppliers.

its sad when I speak my mind like others on here and all these people start being immature and sarcastic about it, grow up people, my mom told me to ignore my sister when we were 5 because I didn't like her mocking me.:laughing:

You decided to keep stirring things up even though you realized a few days ago that you were rubbing people the wrong way.

I will man up and apologize to anyone I offended, I enjoy the site and consider it a invaluable resource, I enjoy debate as much as the next, but I am stopping it here because life's to short to make enemies.

Stating an opinion is one thing but you have accused the dealers that frequent this board and share their knowledge with us of being greedy and have challenged the honesty of a couple of them. How exactly did you expect people to react to this?

If I were rubbing people the wrong way then it would seem what I was having to say was at least somewhat true. I never named names or anything, again Ernie decided to throw his prices out for debate and he got it, I didn't pick him out and never even said his prices were bad, I made a smarta$$ comment to one of his smarta$$ comments. but I ain't mad at no one and understand he was trying to make a point as well.

You need to stop and re-read the forum as I was not the one who first mentioned the word "greedy" and never called anyone commenting on this thread greedy. The guy who started this thread seemed to be trying to save money and find a good dealer, I don't doubt these guys are good dealers. When I told him to find a used one for sale on Craigslist of course all **** broke loose.

I guess we all should sit back and let the yanmar dealers rule house on here like always so no feelings get stepped on? we all are adults here, hopefully, so if your feelings have been hurt, I can apologize.

Bruce, give me some measurements, that one may be a bit to large for my needs but I'm interested.

Yep, it's hard to believe that all of these folks would suddenly decide to pick on you for no reason:confused2:.
