Bubble Magus Pricing

[OceanicCorals-Ian-]

We are stocking the Bubble Magus line now and we do NOT have to purchase them from any such "exclusive" distributor.

We will be pricing this whole product line in a fair manner in respect to our customers and for ourselves as far as margins and justifiable business is concerned. I personally think that MSRP's do have their place in the market but the markup on these skimmers is simply outrageous.

Do we have the ability to warranty these skimmers? Probably not but how about a replacement program if the warranty is justified?

This is our two cents.

Hiya Ian,

I will let Iven, and Victor and Socal know this then you may find you have difficulty getting supply from now on then.

We all had a very long communication about this late last night and into this morning, Jason was very clear at Bubble magus that they will not tolerate this.

BM are very serious about their policy, and also very serious about protecting the Canadian distributors and USA distributors pricing, simple response was, "if they cause trouble they lose supply"

If you have doubts over this please feel free to contact BM directly I will happily pass you the email address to contact.

I was going to purchase the BM 180 CS when they first were being offered by a Canadian Supplier. The landed cost was advertised for $349 Ca in the beginning of january. The cost went up about 20 days later to $399. I asked then why the price had changed and as told it was due to shipping prices from all 3 shippers came in 15% higher and the rate of exchange has gone from 1.02 to 1.08 at time of ordering and paying. BM has also set the MAP prices at above this, but we are negotiating down for you.The only thing that will ever change these figures now is if the USD goes above 1.10. Now that the Skimmers have officially hit the market the BM 180CS is going for $489-$499. At the $50 dollar price change I thought I can see that miscalculations in shipping might occur and the fluctuating canadian dollar might attribute to this. $150 dollar change I was done and am now looking to get a cheaper proven Skimmer instead.

I did notice though the BM 150 Pro that was originally posted at $309 I believe went up about $40 bucks to $349 20 days after the original post. It now sells for $379. This skimmer was not effected by the above reasoning as much as the Cone Skimmers.
