Default Re: Help from our friends in the US

What did I say, same ole same ole!

If the USA is retailing 200T's for $500 how much are they buying them wholesale for?

How about this, why cant the Dealer source the saw at wholesale direct from either USA or Germany and tell the Stihl distributors to rack off as they obviously are grossly inefficient? With USA we have a free trade agreement but not with Germany .... so perhaps Germany is preventing "free trade"!

In Australia we have a suggested retail price for our products and by law we cannot dictate the price that our dealers sell our products for.
And is it fair to say that there may be possible collusion between Stihl dealers? All having the same price, same specials and not allowed to sell via internet to reduce costs and increase efficiencies?

Keep pushing, push hard, and push these pertinent points.
