Ahh, Gun stuff!! You’re right on about that! Don’t even get me started!!Same here. I collect Limited Edition novels of the sci-fi IP: Warhammer 40k (over 100 books across the IP). And its the same story.Books go live; sell out in 10 minutes and you see them in Ebay for 100%+ mark ups immediately after.
Concert tickets of course like you mentioned.
Gun stuff, you always see old farts buying up CMP M1s and selling them for 2x the price in the local gun show. People buying up ammo dry and selling them at insane prices during the shortage. Buying cool limited production stuff (KAC, LMT specifically) and gouging prices... its ridiculous. I HATE them.
Down here in Miami it’s $10000 over MSRP. If you say can you come down, they say no and thank you for coming and walk away!!! Very rude. It’s happened at a couple of dealers. Even my dealer where I bought my last 4 trucks. Very disappointing that they have no loyalty.My local dealer has $3k mark up on every F150, and $6K on every Super Duty. $1000 on Bronco Sports, and like $10,000 on the one GT500 they got.
My price should be locked in, but if the dealer decides to ask for markup because circumstances have changed, that’s fine. I will tell them that if they think they can get that to go for it. I would like to place a new order and they can further reduce the price by half of the additional markup they put on mine… seems fair enough.This bubble will eventually “pop” in due time. The best thing we can do is hold the line together and not give in to paying these exaggerated prices.
did the sales manager sign the order slip?My price should be locked in, but if the dealer decides to ask for markup because circumstances have changed, that’s fine. I will tell them that if they think they can get that to go for it. I would like to place a new order and they can further reduce the price by half of the additional markup they put on mine… seems fair enough.
Yep, l should be all locked in…. But prepared for how I will respond if they decide to not honor it.did the sales manager sign the order slip?

I'm a dealer in Rexburg Idaho. I've pretty much ran out of inventory because I'm still discounting my vehicles. I don't want customers to come back a couple years later, after the market has evened out, and have them upset that their trade isn't worth quite what they still owe on it.I have a Lariat ordered but forced to wait like the rest of the country for the Halloween delivery date! 10/31/21 I have been searching for any 2021 F150 Powerboost. I have found a few but when getting the price of the truck the dealers are charging $5000 over invoice. Yesterday I found a perfect truck. Another dealer wanted $10,000 over MSRP. The manager said there is no negotiating on 2021 F150's. When I said that's crazy they simply said thank you for coming and walked away. Its discussing what has happened to the market.
Make sure you always ask if they are charging over MSRP before you even take that drive.
Join the Mustang Club of America (around $50) and after a short waiting period you can get an XPlan pin. I did it but they won’t honor XPlan for the Gen6 Bronco sadly. Hood luck!A plan is employees, Z is retired employees. X is for a handful of groups/clubs/memberships/etc that Ford partners with to allow purchases for a lower price. It's not as good as A/Z plan but still a good deal. There are a LOT of ways to qualify for it, you can look it up. Some are pretty easy.
I’ll do that and who are the two dealersOr you could order from one of the two dealers that post on this forum for 3% below invoice if you're willing to drive to pickup or have it shipped to you.
Just contacted the dealer to see if I could order haven’t heard back.3% below invoice with Chapman Ford in Lancaster PA. I ordered through them two weeks ago after getting Tom's info from this forum. I do believe the order window for 2021 is closed though.
Which Iowa dealerI called the Iowa dealer today and they said they are no longer taking orders on 2021 F-150s. Who is the other dealer who is willing to play?
My local stores will only sell at MSRP for orders and 5k over for on the lot inventory.
