ive got to go thru what I have in stock so I know how to reprice it. I had someone call about a 357 cylinder and priced it according to what was in my computer. then when I had time I looked up the new msrp on it,which was 20 less than my cost. I had my wife call them back and offer it at cost plus shipping but they had found something already. I guess I need to figure my losses on whats in stock already but some are big losses. like 100 or more bucks.

OUCH, that hurts. Husqy reps aren't doing anything for dealers with product already in inventory?

Seems like something should be done... People who have some of these kits in stock that they paid the higher prices for 2 weeks ago are being forced to either sell at a loss, or sit on them indefinitely. Crappy situation indeed....
No, they don't give a ****. That's why I like to stay lean on inventory. Parts can be had the next day if need be.

Hey, I took a beating on some kits in stock. Gotta cost average it and let it go.
The upside here far outweighs the downside. Better to have the prices where they are now than where they were before, right?

Well, drat..guess I will hold off on the 262 now, my 346 croaked today, mid cut, just stopped. Throwing chips just fine. No warning symptoms.. Has zilch compression by the starter handle. @$%^%^$%$!!! Oh well, I got over twenty tanks through it with a chinese top end. I'll tear it down this weekend and see if it needs both or just a new piston, and also check where the dang leak is, there has to be one. This time OEM or at least meteor. The only good thing is the subject of the thread, I know OEM is more affordable now.

OEM 55 kits are cheaper than Meteor now. Looks like a couple more milk crate specials are going to get back in service.

Just stopped at my local dealer and asked about prices on cylinder kits and he told me he got a letter saying prices are going up

Now you guys know how the Stihl dealers felt last year when the prices changed so dramatically. Still sad that the distributor/manufacturer wont do anything because things like this are a definite discouragement to good dealers actually stocking inventory. The new prices are great but having to take massive losses on current inventory is a bummer. I feel for you guys for sure because with dolmars pricing on pistons and cylinder kits i could very well be the next victim of this.

When we ran a retail business years ago we would often dump old inventory at a loss to free up cash to put into faster moving stuff, or to take advantage of current deals. There is nothing negative about this price drop on Husky parts!

My local dealer is good to work with and does keep a fair stock, but mostly AM. ( Oregon, raisman, and such where usable). Does not stock a p/c for anything at all.

It isn't a great time for that right now. Our dollar is 0.69 to yours. I bought 80 bucks worth from Northwood saw and it came to $110 canadian...
