    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.

    https://www.reuters.com/markets/commodities/us-oil-imports-canada-hit-record-ahead-tariff-threat-eia-data-shows-2025-01-08/#:~:text=U.S. crude oil imports from Canada rose by 689%2C000 barrels,2010%2C the EIA data showed.

    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?
