Dillon prices increasing again!!!
Even though I am a dedicated LNL user. I still have a secondary Dillon press and buy from them periodically. I just received their Dec 2010 catalog. They announced that prices are going up in January 1st.. Anybody have any idea of what their price increases will be?? And, didn't they raise prices LAST YEAR??

Yes, like all businesses, their costs rise so they can either reduce their profit or raise their prices.
Hold their costs in check, you say? Don't you think that the Dillon folks deserve a raise every year? Don't you get one? |

Yes I get a raise but it won't cover the cost for the increase in price of Gasoline.

My pay has been cut 47% in the last 3 years. I would venture to bet that 75%-90% of all CALGUN viewers make less now than they did 3-4 years ago.

So don't get mad at Dillon, they are just playing the hand they've been dealt.

All businesses have cost increases, health care and liability insurance are probably a huge burden for this company.
And no, I haven't had a raise in the last three years. I'm damned glad to have a job tho! I also hope the folks at Dillon keep their jobs in this difficult economy. The ones I've dealt with are great folks and I'd hate to see them out looking for work, quality employees are hard to find even with millions of folks looking for work.

I think Dillon's employees are safe. I wish I worked there, might get to sample the new goodies once in a while.

OK, folks, this one is wandering all over the place.
I'll remind everyone that we do NOT do political discussions at TFL. The subject at hand is Dillon raising its prices. It's not why the dollar buys less, why President Obama is to blame, etc. Any more wandering and it won't be any wonder when this thread is shut down.

I was just at Cabela's this past Friday and I noticed 3 different prices on the LNL AP press? I asked the sales person what was the deal with the 3 different prices? They said $399.99 was the "Old" normal price. $359.99 was the "Old" sale price and $439.99 was the new "Normal" price as Hornady increased their prices. Because I found the "Old" sale price I was able to buy mine for $359.99! If you look closely enough everything is going up other then my paycheck!:barf:

Everyone can blame Demigod for failing to read the thread and subsequently being the reason for it being closed after I issued my warning.
