Scaled Instruments likely sets his prices based on the price he pays Davis. So the price to us consumers  is really determined by the price Davis sells its product to Scaled Instruments—so, blame Davis not Scaled.

I am sure that this is a correct reading of the situation. Trade pricing will be at a fixed discount to Davis RRP.

Just to give you one example of price increases: In 2019, a 6410 anemometer Davis RRP was $155 (itself an increase on 2018). In 2024 that same part costs $235 RRP. That's over 50% increase in 5 years. And the anemometer is fairly typical.

I Thought that they are the ones you create yourself for tags that you need, as that's what I have done with mine.

Yeah, I agree.  His prices are a joke compared to what they used to be.  The standard ISS is $600 whereas the complete base station with the new touch screen console is only $690.  I remember when the basic ISS was like $325.

Scaled Instruments likely sets his prices based on the price he pays Davis. So the price to us consumers  is really determined by the price Davis sells its product to Scaled Instruments—so, blame Davis not Scaled. That said, the real blame belongs to the inflation the US has experienced the past few years.

Yeah, I get that.  I agree to that to a certain extent but I also think he is gouging like everyone else is.  His prices were creeping up before inflation hit.  Probably also somewhat to his costs increasing but he also is the only vender that I know of that parts out systems like he does so he also fits a niche for which he became popular.

I could go on about the Government and this joke of an administration that has proven itself but I’m sure there is a clause on here the same as everywhere else where politics are taboo and should not be spoken of.  I’ve already said enough you can figure out my stance.

Yeah, I agree.  His prices are a joke compared to what they used to be.

Really? Do you think he has the only consumer items that the prices have gone through the roof? Please... Merely a reflection.

I actually sent a support email today asking if you guys are still doing refurbs on the VP2 ISS and how much they are (US).  I'm getting a little tired of having to piecemeal parts from Scaled (he's gotten so much more expensive lately; example...24 hour FARS fan last I bought one was 39 dollars, now they're 89.  The solar panel cover used to be 25 and now they're 52..mine's gone brittle after a replacement after just four years.  Crazy).
