I have increased my prices on most boilers effective March 1. I will honor the current prices for any orders received by March 1. The average increase is about $150. I am currently running about 9 months delivery.

Still cheap for what you get.

Please Bill, don't call my boilers cheap. A bargain, or 'good cost performance ratio' would sound much better!

How about 'economical' ?

Hi Marty,
quick question? what does it cost to ship a boiler to the northwest?
Thanks

Chris, you can figure it will be in the range of $300 to $500, depending on what size boiler it is and where it's going.

Network with someone going to a Western meet, and offer a C-note for gas money. Meet them on your end. Prolly save half depending.

I've been able to set that up a few times. The best one was when Karl Hovanitz stopped at the Huck with a brand new bus he had picked up in Canada. Not only did he haul an RGS 20 back to the West Coast, he also picked up a half ton of Pocahontas coal!

For my flame-cut Allen Mogul frames, Marty had bought them from Roger-Cooke in NY. I, living in New York State, purchased them from Marty, who met another person at NAMES and gave them to him. He then brought them home to his house, where my father picked them up for me. I then picked them up from him.

It probably wouldn't be this easy with a boiler!

Marty:

sorry - didn't call your boilers cheap - said your prices are cheap.

If 'economical' is more what you had in mind then:

"Still ECONOMICAL for what you get".

Shees....you can take the man out of duPont, but never take the duPont out of the man (so sayeth a fellow ex-duPonter)

Your prices are still MORE THAN REASONABLE for what you provide.
