I'm just a little confused is all (but then that's usually a common state for me)

Later on in the thread it lists that the price went up another $50 so more like $449.00

And I think that was for a pre order promotion.

Oh and I need the popcorn icon

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.

This sounds great; however, I am not sourcing them from anyone that you have listed nor are we going to divulge where they are coming from, I will do everything in my powers to offer these products at a more reasonable price.

Thanks!

Just in case there are doubts here is the email from last night the relevant text that applies

Hi Michael ,
Just now I discussed with Ivan ,and We reached a consensus below.

The first , you are exclusive distributor in Canada ,this is truth , and ATB ,Socal and other dealers will not sell BM products to Canada .

we finalize this price at last (including shop price and wholesale price),everyone all must abide by this agreement .............

we will never send any products to new customers now .

At last ,if you have any questions ,tell me .
Regards
Jason

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.
