Flat plate HX price increases

[Jim K in PA]

Has anyone else noticed the dramatic increase in prices for GEA flat plate HXs? I bought my 20 plate in September for around $300, now they are around $600! Ack . . . WTH? I need to upgrade to a 40 or 50 plate, and they are now $1000+ at Pexsupply.com

WNO - Thanks for the eBay link. I think I will grab a 50 plate now rather than wait until the Spring. I need to upgrade my 20 plate, but was going to wait for warm weather to do so. If prices are jumping now, it pays to get it and sit on it until I am ready to install it.

The price of metal is dropping, so I would assume the hike was due to high prices and now they may level off or possibly go down. I would be surprised if they went up further.

I agree, which is why I was taken aback by the 100% price increase on the pexsupply web site.

I went ahead and ordered a 50 plate from KJ motorsports on eBay. I should have done that back in september. If we get a January thaw like we usually do, I'll pick a day when the temps are above freezing and swap the 20 plate for the 50.

Thanks again for the link(s).

No problem. I got that link from pybyr. That is where he got his.
