Had a conversation with one of the guys from this site about stove manufacturers raising their prices in reaction to steel prices possibly going up. I picked up some metal from my local iron man that same afternoon and asked him if he could tell me what he paid for steel verses what he charges me. He said that he paid .549/lb, and makes .18/lb off from me. If he gets steel that cheap, then what do these larger wood boiler manufacturers pay for it?.If we assume they pay the same as him, which I'm sure they don't, then a 2000/lb stove would have $1100 worth of steel in it, right? If prices go up 10%, that would be $110, 20%- $220, 30%- 330, etc. What are the percentages you all have heard from your local dealers that boilers could go up? Sorta sounds like some kind of sales tactic to me. Can you guys tell I'm bored and not in the mood for animation domination tonight?(FOX 66). My new build is coming along well. Sent out some phone pictures and videos to friends and family, but I haven't the foggiest idea how to put them on here. Trying to figure out what font face and font size mean, as well as how to incorporate some of those little yellow faces in without erasing everything I've typed so far. Maybe next time.
