Did BRS Acquisition of Marine Depot Facilitate Recent Large Price Increases?

[PeterC99]

Major industry takeover and the NEXT thing we see are significant price increases. Know prices have been increasing everywhere. But my words were specific - “Facilitate”. Did this acquisition make it easier for vendors to raise prices?

Does the vendor get a cut of the price increase?

 

[Hallowhead]

Definitely COVID, just likes house, and everything else.

Does the vendor get a cut of the price increase?

Did their cost go up also?

I am not a BRS fan boy but I don't believe they had anything to do with this. These are MAP items and price will increase everywhere.

The price of many things has increased since COVID. Wood, meat, graphics cards, glass, acrylic, cement, houses, copper, shipping and now reefing supplies. Expect it to continue.

Did their cost go up also?

Yes cost to ship goods and manufacture them.is currently inflated... you are probably looking at the new normal prices

 

[PeterC99]

Did their cost go up

Probably but didn’t ask that question.

 

[Scorpius]

Let’s put it this way. My safes I order the shipping containers used to be 5000 per container and they just went up to 23k!!! They are robbing everyone trying to make up for lost profits from last year. What are people gonna do? Not ship stuff? And the joys of American made stuff. No one wants to work, gov pays them to sit on there buts so why go to work?? American made items are backed up 6-8 months. Furniture from Laz y Boy for example which is made down the road from me in Hickory NC is delayed 8 months and then no promises on dates. It sucks for sure

No apologies here - spot on topic for this discussion.

Major industry takeover and the NEXT thing we see are significant price increases. Know prices have been increasing everywhere. But my words were specific - “Facilitate”. Did this acquisition make it easier for vendors to raise prices? And what happens if those raw material prices come back down?

Nothing is black and white and always appreciate other facts and viewpoints.
