What am I missing?

Two saws that as far as I can tell are identical apart from branding.

 

£150 to have the same machine in orange is never going to happen

 

These are the best prices I can find on them.

Shavey will give the details but I think there are some differences under the skin . Think the carbs are different , could be wrong .

Thanks Stubby

 

There would need to be for me to stump at that much extra not that I am keen to buy online from either of them. Happy to pay extra to support a shop with back up

Thanks stubby there used to be differences in the two brands but in later years that isn't the case they are produced to the same design specs

 

Makita as the parent company have had the trump card since brexit ,bringing in there saws at the prices they want to promote and compete

Where as Dolmar hasn't been high on there priority list

so the problem that I have had is since the realase of the Dolmar ps-6100. Dolmar have been steadily increasing the price of the saw and now it's proved itself and is selling well in the EU usa and the Uk

so they have no reason to be cheaper , and with the euro so strong against the pound it's automatically dearer so this past six months it's been difficult to bring them in and compete in the uk , but it has worked both ways as I've been able to export products to other countries

Iam offering people the option of Dolmar and makita to people and giving the same service and back up
