B206 parts price increase

[givdrvr]

I heard an unqualified rumor from that parts prices for legacy B206s will increase from 100 to 300% or more in the near future. I stress that this is clearly a rumor but wonder if any others have heard same ?

Didn't those rumours started when BH announced the end of the B206B3 production line?

They do have a good reputation for parts and service ... so I hope it doesn't happen. But with the B505 getting close they're going to want to make some space for it.

well just following on from MD who seemed to have doubled their prices and as for Sikorsky ( e.g. fuel sender 7 years ago $ 178 now $ 490 ) Like to know what other business in the past 7 years cab nearly triple there prices, I would have no business if I did that.
The manufacturers seem to forget about the end user !

We are low on the pole/shaft like Dick Smith says, the justification for the prices are not supportable, the quality is generally not that high, but as a captive customer we have to either put up or shut up, have shut up & sold the machine, the cost outweighed the fun, can afford it but being gouged is not fun.:sad:
Back to cars or boats :E

As a Bell IR and CSF we have no notice of a 300% price increase
