Just got my 1st Backorder Dealer stock order from Great Planes Yesterday. Basicaly some of the list I had on BO at HRP
Never noticed before but when i was recieving the order I realized....
GP Raised all the cost 20%...... MAP/Sell price still the same
TYPICAL GP...... that way they can sell at MAP on Tower Hobbies and UNDERCUT Us Hobby Shops and minimize our margins.....and they still make a HUGE Margin....
Not sure if Durango is staying in MY shop......
Too Bad..... Durango has some great Products... sad how this has transpired......

It really isnt a CHANGE for the consumer
But an unreasonable DECREASE in Profits for the LHS to endure...
thats my Point... Sell price has not change.... LHS Cost has increased by 20%
hard to justify $2000-$3000 in stock investement at a very LOW proffit margin.....
Anyways my $.02... just frustrating is all after months of waiting and support ta get a slap in the face like this
oh
and
LETS RACE!!!!

Ya it took me a while to get cost down from GP when I started using them. But was eventually able to get my cost down similar to what it was with HRP/Horizon. Just need to negotiate with your sales rep. I ended up having the rep fly out to the shop I ran to show him what we did and how GP would benefit from us using them as a primary distributor for us(at their expense since I refused to use them at the time). Granted this was some time ago when I ran Hobby Action in Tempe.
