Swarovski price increase

[bangarang]

What do you guys think of the price increase? Gr8ful Doug and S&S archery are sending notes out. I was going to wait until next summer to get some EL8x42 TAs, but I guess it’s time to bite the bullet. I’ll use them mainly in Idaho and NV.

How much do you think prices will go up? It looks like the tariff is 25% on Austrian goods right now.

$200-$300

Didn’t they just go up a few months ago too? At least they did in Canada. I think the ATC went from 3.3k to 3.9k

Edit - looked it up, that was just a Canadian increase due to our weak dollar

I saw the CAD increase when I was trying to see what the USD increase would be. I imagine the CAD prices will stay the same

The word/reason your looking for is TARIFF!

All of the prices of optics are going to go up across the board. It just isn't as noticeable when your garbage Vortex Diamondbacks go up $12.

Swarovski at any price is worth it.

Meh. They lost me when they quit using hydrophobic coatings for climate change or whatever.

I have a couple of Swaro's, and I say a big negative to that price comment.

I was eyeing the 14x52NL......but no longer, due to the $350 price increase.

I already have the 8x42NL and the 12x42NL......so the 14x52NL was more of a discretionary purchase, which I can certainly do without.

I'm so sick of this, where the heck is this tariff money even going to?

Right now it’s going to the government similar to a tax, but if the Supreme Court doesn’t overturn the fed court saying it was unconstitutional then the government will have to give back some absurd amount to companies. My question is, are the companies going to send the tariffs to the customers that paid the increased fees due to the tariffs?

No need to answer, I already know the answer.

Treasury, approximately 25 billion a month. Swarovski prices have gone up every year for the last 10.

that's an absurd amount of money. So it is essentially functioning as a national sales tax at the moment.

Exactly…comes out of our pockets

Well, let’s see if the used value on the NLs go up here.

Was this an even % price increase across the lineup?

No. Seems like the 32 NLs went up by $350, the 42NLs went up by $200 and the 52NLs went up by $350.
