10% tariff? If the US consumer is lucky.
Trump and “his team” are telling us 25% tariff on everything from here - including those 4.2 million bbls/day (as of 3 January 2025) of oil we ship to those heavy oil refineries on your Gulf of Mexico coast.
and here:

So we still pay the tax but it doesn’t help the domestic companies?
I do think at the margin it makes a difference and a 10% tariff will translate to more than 10% at the register.

It really depends on the margin of the items. Shorter margin items will likely see a +10% increase, but not by that much. Maybe 12% ppm a Samsung TV, for instance. But on a higher margin type of purchase, my guess is that it’s between 5-7% increase.
I would guess that my (or Rich’s) selling price on a Bosie 230VC including local sales tax will still be less than a 230VC sold in London with a 20% VAT.

I haven’t touched a 230vc, but I did hear a nice recording. I am looking forward to trying one. Are you selling more satin or gloss finish?

Gloss, but I personally prefer the matte finish. Bosie’s matte is unique.

I've always preferred matte. I might get a chance to try a 230VC in April.

Good thing I don't have to make such a decision. I can only afford the decal and that negates all the finish anxiety stuff.

@Jolly would you prefer the logo in brass or nickel?

Pearl is not an option?
(@LuFins-Dad take this back to Bosie/Yamaha HQ; may turn out to be a $multimillion idea.)
