It may be decision time for those on the fence about a Hallmark purchase, as I just noticed this message about a price increase on their website. I’m sure it will also affect the used Hallmark market pricing.


Thinking of a hallmark? To maintain our quality & standard inclusions, we anticipate a 20% price increase on all units starting OCT. 1st 2016. Get the BEST at a deal while you still can.

Phew. 20% is a big jump. $7500 increase on the cuchara. That could be tough pill to swallow. New base price at almost $45,000.

Edit to add. That will make it $14,000 more than the Outfitter Apex 9.5 which is probably their main competition.

Most manufacturers have annual increases and I think that Hallmark may just be the first one to announce this year.

I agree that 20% is steep but I thought that they were a bargain given what they include as standard versus other manufacturers....
