New 4x12 Prices Just Increased...Why?

[Junk Yard Dog]

I've been monitoring 4x12's lately. Noticed all the Friedman's went up $50 and so did Marshall's and a few others.

What gives??

4x12 maker collusion? Ha!

Just like anything, when a manufacturer's cost's increase, it's the customer who pays...

Trumps Tariffs

This. Since speakers/parts are being made in China, the tariffs are coming back to us with a price hike. A lot of other stuff is increasing in price too, anything with parts from China.

Truth.
Only thing tariffs hurt is our own people. Brilliant.

Yep. You can expect a lot of prices to start climbing up, thanks to the big cheeto.

Why buy a new one? You can get a good used 4x12 for half the price if you keep your eyes open locally.

 

[Mr. Willy]

Prices increase on 4x12s?!? Oh God, no! Whatever are we gonna do?

 

[Devilinside]

Yea because prices never increased before Trump was President...

Good to know these “boutique” brands still rely on Chinese made goods though. I mean they already charge high prices but why not increase it while still selling you parts from China.

That’s what happens when you become solely dependent on China to make everything. Rely on slave labour so we can buy cheap shit.

Precisely!!

 

[mnemonic]

The price of wood, glue, tolex, nails, labor, rent, only goes up. It’s higher now than it was 10 years ago and in 10 years it will be higher than now. That’s inflation and it effects the price of everything.

you can get a used Mesa 412 for $450

When I was still building cabs and using the Marshall tolex and cloth, it went up about 40% in 3 years. I'm sure the BB3 baltic birch has gone up, too.

Pay the the new prices if you want a new one......or look for a great used price with the speakers already broken in.

Got to love all the political BS on this thread. No religion or politics my ass, 50 bucks an we call out the POTUS who works for fucking free. Let's just let China make everything. I sure hope they are making the motorized scooters the people that have 100% mobility are using in walmart. Fn lame. Maybe we can all get on welfare and buy everything from China cause we dont make shit here and there are no jobs unless your a govt employee
