Parts Gouging

[Klause]

I had to replace the on/off switch on my 8500 drill... This is a Burgess 4BR switch (says it right on the switch)... standard component.

Through CaseIH, it's p/n 84053C1 and costs $244.31.

Through Newark, one of the big retailers of PLC components (Newark, DigiKey, etc. are where all companies source switches, sensors, etc from), it lists at $41.

If you buy 100 they are $35.

If you think your getting screwed on parts and repairs where you are, then don't come shopping down in SESK. It's unbelievable here.

It's what Comedian angribusiness is all
about, gouging. Industry truly hates
farmers, farmers hate farmers. Inputs go
up, when grain prices are good. Nothing
is good about farming, except that you are
your own boss, and get to do all the work
tooo, butt yous gets ta enjoy the great
outdoors! Thats why you work fer nothing
and truly enjoy what yous do.....

Angribusiness often pretends that you
are just lucky that you kin get the
parts you need, never mind what they
cost. Remember too, that the low
Comedian dollar, which is apparently
makin us all rich, causes US
DEER POOP STUFF ta cost more. Opps! the
Comedian dollar is currently worth more,
and guess what? Parts have gone upp
again, whats with the DEER Poop people.
Now they say cause grain prices are
high, you should be able to afford it
anyway. The Bull Skatology just never
ends does it?

Your comments mostly sound like how a bad toothache feels!

Except for, "Inputs go up when grain prices are good." Totally agree with you there. Nothing unexpected with that statement.

Now, what have you done to place yourself ahead of that known? I'd bet, several things, and none of them detailing hating and cheating your neighbours, and hating and paying the agri businesses.

If I'm wrong, then you deserve to work for your nothing.
