Look Out for Price Hikes!

[dumbassdrummer]

According to my local drum sales guy, Zildjian prices are going to go up (10% I think) on April 1st. so, if you were thinking about buying Zildjian any time soon, do it now before retail prices take a turn for the worst - for buyers that is.

That said I bout a 21" Zildjian Sweet Ride today - 200 bucks.

Paiste are going up. Online anyway. shops may be different though. as their prices go up differently to online.

[mamcdonald]

Well...that sucks. Good choice, though.

[styler]

why do you think prices go up? would it be a problem with getting the bronze?. Maybe A new line is being Manufactured andt they need more money? Im curious lol.

[mysticalyeti]

Well... I guess I'll just continue to <3 the **** out of ebay if Paistes prices go up.

[Bonham#1!]

Prices go up man because the companies know we're stupid enough to pay the money. Smart of them really.

[spike9908]

Simple economics. They made a large profit last year and they want more. Demand is higher, so price follows that.

[poppinfresh]

thats so n00bsauce. Theyve been going up constantly every year now with the cymbals. especially sticks theyre up to $8.00 now at the place i buy.

Macroeconomics is a great course. Might want to take it some time.

[poppinfresh]

im taking that over the summer at a community college instead of high school econ.

[aznriceball]

good! high school econ is worthless.

**i take that back. highschool mindset is worthless. there is a bulletin on my myspace telling latinos at my former high school to walk out tommorow. the proposition is today! what a stupid way to perpetuate the stereotype of ignorance..

"Simple economics. They made a large profit last year and they want more. Demand is higher, so price follows that."

Demand, and also do not ignore inflation-in-action. Especially in the states.

"especially sticks theyre up to $8.00 now at the place i buy."

I pay 7 per pair.

No, its to make up for all the losses with the ZHT line.

damnit...it says my message is too short to submit, so I'm adding this.. ok, this should be enough.

[spike9908]

That is also true. As for sticks beint $8, I'm still paying $6 or there about.

[BigTrav415]

And just before I get my set too :( I better hop on it.

[dumbassdrummer]

I haven't heard about drum prices going up for any of the big companies, just the Zildjian hike, but who knows...

[Damo]

Tama announced that they were moving production of their Swingstar line to new premises. Because of this, the exisiting plant decided to have a price rise.
