Wow, interesting to see after GN’s tariffs video.
Companies should just add a line on each product page listing tariff amount. Keep selling the products, have consumers cover the extra cost as Donald intended, and make sure he gets all the credit.
Gamers nexus did a video interviewing Hyte specifically. They made the assessment that people just wouldn’t buy their stuff for the prices they’d have to list it at to be sustainable.
That’s not really how it works, which is made apparent in the video. Without going into details, IF they decided to pay for all of the product to let the buyers decide and it turns out the buyers are not interested they may not be able to recoup that cost and go out of business.
Dude no one is going to pay to bring over a case that was $129 last week, and put it on the shelf for $200, with a line item.
Just moving product costs money, and the margins for small producers are under 10% already.
Realistically you have to pay to have a batch of your product manufactured, when your margin shrinks the break even goes up.
A lot of companies are seeing it effectively mean to continue ordering a product they have to sell much higher volume, but at higher prices which is where it’s infeasible.
They don’t want to order a bunch of products they don’t expect to sell and to take a loss, even if they increase the price.
A month or so ago, I was debating if I wanted to upgrade/build a new PC. I eventually decided that if I waited any longer, I’d not just be paying more but might also lose access to certain components I had my eye on- their Y70 Touch Infinite cases being one of those. Super happy I decided to go for it since everything has increased in price, and it seems like we’ll be seeing less of many things from overseas… also it turned out sooo beautiful!
I’m just reveling in the low cost of US-made guns and ammo at this point.
