As many of you know, there is almost certainly going to be a trade war with China, with a 25% tariff on Chinese electronics coming into the United States being proposed. If this comes to pass, I will be forced to increase prices on nearly all the of parts used with my modifications. Nearly all of the parts, with the exception of capacitors, come from China. I charge cost pricing on all parts used, so any increase will reflected in the new price. I do not pad my parts costs, so I can not absorb this additional cost and am forced to pass it on to my loyal customers. For that, I am very frustrated. If I have to do this, I am sure 1,000 other modders out there will have to do the same. It truly is a shame.
I will attempt to update prices as they change, I may have to send an updated invoice for any order placed, which will only reflect my parts cost, the cost of labor will remain the same.
I just hope these foolish actions don’t stall the economy as a whole and lead to another Great Recession.
