Been fighting this all year and it's getting worse. The stainless I use in my products is mostly out of stock until the end of the year. The prices have gotten out of control and it now costs me to sell anything I sell. I have filler metal on order that has been on order for 24 weeks now. I am going to be forced to raise prices but I am fearful that will be the end of my business as that will likely price most folks out of my products. I even considered doing a hybrid muffler with steel internals and I can't even get that. I am fortunate to have some inventory for quiet mufflers but my cheaper mufflers are likely a thing of the past. The quiet mufflers at current inflation rates will be over $1000 to even make 5%.
What is everyone else seeing? I hope to weather the storm but wow crazy times. |

When we disrupt the global supply chain, shut down businesses, and then print Trillions of dollars of stimulus we shouldn’t be surprised that prices rise as a result. |

Hang in their Boys you all provide great service to 914 world Thanks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/flag.gif) I will be fine as I also have a day job and I can still make oil tanks and will make a run of engine sheet metal in August ish. My stainless parts are at risk of being a very special order item. That worries me as I am very happy with the product. Ain't getting rich here that's for sure buy I enjoy doing this and just trying to navigate this BS lol. |

We had to give people money cause they were out of work no fault of their own,, lots of money floating around along with decreased production… |
