Interesting price comparison..... Husqvarna 372 XP

Just thought I'd pass this along as a interesting case of "Inflated prices" based on market. My local dealer, who recently lost me as a customer because they tried to hose me..... long story..... anyway,

A Husq 372 XP, In the Philadelphia market....$710.00

same exact saw, a dealer located a hour north of Pittsburgh   $575.00,

Talk about gouging the customer!

Same exact saw at Bailey's, $529.  Price gouging does happen.  Sad but true.

While Baileys price is appealing, by the time you ship it and buy a bar and chain, you're probably over the $575 mark....

but my post was not meant to be a price compare with online vendors, it was to show just how two different regions in the same dang state carry different prices!

Maybe it is not gouging but selling at MSRP?

[jjmk98k]

the MSRP is $699.....

the dealer thats charging the $710 is located in the very "snobby" town of Doylestown..... guess folks around there don't shop around.

You guys are so lucky...

Here in Oz my 372 just last year was $1399AU with a 24" bar even on good exchange rates you guys do well
