Has anyone had increases yet, have you heard that price increases are on the horizon? I'm hearing some chatter but nothing rock solid.

I spoke to one dealer today that has not heard of any impending increases in pricing for MFP's. They represent both Canon and KonicaMinolta. Still looking to hear from others for Sharp, Kyocera, Xerox, Toshiba, Lexmark, Muratec and HP. If you don't want to answer here you can PM me on this site.

I can confirm this at my dealer - we are sole line Kyocera. It sucks; I'm hoping all manufacturers get the same. Misery loves company.

The co-op program suspension could be a huge blow to some dealers.
Could you explain the Toshiba co-op program?

When I owned my dealership we were given a percentage of everything we spent to use on marketing. I believe it was 3%, thus if we spent 100K we would be entitled to $3,000. We had to show proof of purchase and then Kyocera would credit our account for the dollars that we used.
Confirmed Toshiba and HP price increases are happening in the next few weeks to month.
Curious if there is any negative customer feedback from the tariff-related price increases yet? Is anyone losing deals because of the higher hardware prices (i.e. Kyocera/Toshiba dealers)? I'm assuming that more manufacturers will raise prices soon so may be more of an even playing field...
Thanks!
