I was informed back in July that there was going to be a price increase coming soon. This is a price adjustment on the machines that's being initiated by Cimex/Truvox in England.

Well I learned this week that effective December 1st the new list price for a 19" Cimex with the set of pad drivers will fall somewhere in the range of $2700-$2800. The current list price for this package is $2495.

As most of you know, we've been running special pricing on the 19" machine. We've been selling the $2495 19" machine with drivers for $2300. And we've also been adding a few free items to the package: 4 gallon case of Releasit Encap-Clean DS, a case of 15 FiberPlus pads, and free freight.

Unfortunately the price is going up a couple hundred smackers. It's not something that I'm happy about. We will have to adjust to the new pricing starting December 1st. We're still planning to offer the special 19" Cimex package deal that includes the pad drivers, Releasit, pads and freight. Our sale price for this package will now be $2500. (This will still be a few hundred dollars under the list price for the items that are included)

I think that the package we're putting together is still a strong deal, even at the price of $2500. It still represents a good value compared with other pieces of equipment. Seems like everything keeps going up except sq ft pricing for commercial carpet cleaning. Sheesh! But try to look on the bright side, one job can cover the extra cost. I know that's a lame analogy, but it's the best I can come up with.

Sounds good Rick except for those high priced detergents that you give away for free with the Cimex order then get us all hooked on so we have to keep buying the outrageously high priced detergents. Oh, crap here we go again. lol

They ought to sell for about 5k for the return on the investment that the Cimex offers.
It pays for itself faster than any other piece of equipment in this business. hands down.

Yeah I was thinking of Don as I was typing that. Don is a great man. Knowledgeable as all get out. But we see things differently on the numbers using the encap cleaning method. And now we've gone and added more fuel to the fire. Oye Vay!




Rick Gelinas

Rick,

I think Stephen will be purchasing a cimex for 5K. Great news. Seriously Stephen I agree.

Kevin Pearson

Why Mr. Gelinas, your such a Lamden.

You liked my "Oye Vay" now didn't ya Dave?

My mom always uses that expression.
It cracks me up still.

I think instead of convincing Don that Releasit is very inexpencive, we have actually made him a rich man with his new company and marketing slogan. I just hope we get a royalty for helping him come up with the idea.
