Gammill now selling direct to US based consumers

They also lost some major dealers 10 or so years ago when they quit compensating them for the service they were giving to their customers. Several of them switched to other brands and found they liked them better. The same will probably happen again. None of the speakers in that video looked that happy to me, more of a deer in the headlights look. As for the price going down, I wouldn't count on it. I would anticipate it being harder to get service and training.

Considering the current economic sitution I am sure that their decision is based on bottom line. When you no longer have to compensate dealers, that means more money for the manufacterer, thus I doubt that they will make their product more affordable to consumers. I see this as a belt tightening situation in response to issues ranging from workers to supply chain and everything in between. I think we can expect more and more of this across many industries, with that, I also think you will see a decline in customer service. We are entering a era of expect less and pay more for everything.
