Poetry

I woke up this morning and the weather was bad
So I started a thread to make people mad
It wont stop raining so I had to have fun
I wasn't messin with no one so don't jump the gun
It doesn't matter what saws are in the beds of your trucks
:notrolls2:



.:hmm3grin2orange:

 

[Cut4fun]

You got that right Romeo, Timers ready, sawer's ready, 1 2 3 go and lets see how the operator, chain and saw do in the cuts. May the best sawer win. Who cares about brand as long as it is FAST in the cut.

I agree -- still this is true



"If some of the Stihl fans knew what dealer cost was ... they might not be such die hard fans."


In the end I have seen zero difference in quality between Stihl and Husqvarna and I have been cutting wood for thirty years or so.

while I have seen huge price differences.

You all have a good day now and cut up some wood.

And this is my last word on this matter in this post.

If you want to know a rough Stihl dealer cost, take off about 20% from MSRP. Some get a little more, some less... some get inbound freight paid, some don't..

Said I was done and then you go and say that :chainsawguy:


Try 30 40 percent mark up. I am small FFL dealer and all my POR firearms are way more than the ones that give their price. Browning and Ruger for example .

Plus if I order a special run or a discounted item and I get huge discounts my profit margin is much better.

FACT -- Stihl keeps it a dealer program only to keep prices high, high prices do NOT EQUAL BETTER QUALITY. I like Stihl saws, just don't like the way they are sold or the high prices that come with them.

They say it is a dealer only program to serve the customer better, if you believe that I have some swamp land for sale.


edit :
And I haven't even addressed dealer incentives ... buy five get one free kind of deals.

As to my knowledge the profit margin is pretty comparable between brick and mortar dealerships with stihl, husky, jonsered, and dolmar. Some dealers will charge you close to MSRP and some will not. Its up to the individual dealer what they want to charge.

[begin rant]

I still can't figure out why saws are ever compared this way. REAL WORLD pricing is all that matters. Where I can find the best price, irregardless of the source, period. (yes yes, I know you're talking profit margin, not sale price, but they run hand in hand)

It reminds me when I bought an Aussie engine from a New Zealand dealer for $5800 shipped to my closest FOB 10 miles away. Had I bought it in the US, it was $7500 + $500 shipping. You know the NZ dealer was making a worthwhile profit, so what the heck does the US dealer rake in? I don't believe he'd do anything worth an extra $2200 more than the NZ dealer's profit. The argument there was also "dealer support." Funny, then why do I get charged for it again if I need the service? It's a weak excuse.

If parts are about the same between competitors, so be it. At least I didn't get burned on the front end by the excuse above. I work hard for my money, and I don't care to frivolously give it away. Cost of living continues to outpace earnings, so I will continue to tighten my belt and find the best deals possible.

Spike, Thall, Andy, and Scott would be able to know the specifics more than I would, but all of them have incentives. If Larry sells 5 dolmars out of his garage a year, should he get them for as cheap as Scott, who sells 500?

Boy your a know it all that knows nothing. You think Stihl saw are marked up 30-40 percent, LOL. I got some 10 pound tomatoes out in the garden too. Fact is you simply don't know what your talking about, your assuming and guessing and wrong at both. The highest mark up on any Stihl saw is 23-24%if you go by the book. I know it for a fact. Most of the saws go around 20-22%. When you wheel and deal they go for 15% depending if I like ya,LOL

Your also full of BS about the dealer program but think what ya like, you know so much in assuming and very little in fact.

Stihl keeps it's dealer program to support its dealers, if they didn't they have knumbskulls like you selling them..

Don't you know what the dealer cost is, sure you do. Tell me what the dealer costs is on a MS361/20inch at price level 1,2,3,4,5 and 6. Lets see what you know. I got the Stihl e-sales on my screen right now with all the prices so show me what you know and not what you assume. Time to put up or shut up, lay them prices on me, make my day ole boy,:hmm3grin2orange: :hmm3grin2orange:

 

[wood rat]

Not here to argue with a bull head.
Just talking facts.

Later.

 

[bcorradi]

You haven't proved they are facts

As Jack would say you can't handle the truth. You just got hit with the facts instead of that BS you been spitting out. Seems all the Stihl haters like yourself blow a awful lot of smoke and don't have a clue what the hell your talking about. You don't know the costs or the mark up's at all yet you blab all this non-sense on here like you do know. It gets old buddy. Sorry to spoil your BS but the smell was getting to rank!!

exactly
A person who makes volume sales are the ticket to get a good deal on any saw

Than how is Stihl any different then the rest? Because they have the 30-40% markup that you state? What percentage of markup do the other brands have?

 

[THALL10326]

You haven't proved they are facts

He can't prove them cause he doesn't know. I can price every Stihl product made sitting here at home on Stihl e-sales, a dealer only site. If he knew what I knew he wouldn't be hollering 30-40% mark up cause there is no such thing with Stihl saws, blowers, concrete saws, trimmers, or anything else that has a motor on it. No biggie though, I hear the same schit all day long by customers who tell me what they think they know. Most times I say well since you know more than me whatcha doing here,LOL

 

[Woodie]

Is there anything, ANYTHING, I can say to get this thread back off/on track?

Hey THALL...YOU SUCK!!!

(that oughta get him...)
