YH price hikes

Springrrrr · Apr 25, 2020

I suppose by now many of us have noticed the free shipping and prices of the Yong Heng compressors on e-Bay have changed drastically. It is hard, if not impossible to find one in the $250 + or - region with free shipping these days, like they were just a month or so ago.

Guess all good things come to an end. I can only hope those that buy at current prices are getting the newest and upgraded versions.

I have a piston in my parts bid waiting to go in mine if it takes a turn for the worst. I don't fill tanks other than those on my guns and never let the temperature go above 40C. That may or may not be a saving grace.

When people start buying Xisico and Umarex, the Yong Heng prices will come back down.

The world has a problem right now. Supply chains are getting disrupted and point source manufacturing is nearly stopped in many places. Supply vs Demand.. Econ basics.

Save you money wait for the Umarex Ready Air, have a Yong Heng, it has been a Royal PITA...

Don't hesitate to buy a Yong Heng if you can find a good price on one. I (and many others) have used them for over a year without issue. Some have had problems with them, as people have had with Air Venturi, Hatsan, and even the vaunted Daystate. ANYTHING can have a problem. The Yong Heng has been, for it's price, well worth the money for quite a few people.

Yeah mines been going 2+ years filling a 60min scba. Id buy another in a minute.

I wonder when the Umarex ReadyAir will be available. For $500, considering what the YHs cost now, I'm sold.

My YH has been going for well over 2-1/2 years now filling my (3) 30 min SCBA tanks with no problems. I believe the key is to keep it cool. I use lots of ice in the water bucket and my temps stay in the 42C to 45C range. I also only top my tanks off to 4000 - 4200 psi. I have, however, thought about buying some spare parts just in case.

The world changed this year.

In China, the compressor is still available in the Yong Heng on-line shop and the auto-shut-off model is being sold at USD 150 which is the same as that two years ago when I bought mine. For this reason I am afraid the broken supply chain theory doesn't stand. Something is discouraging people from shipping the compressor to US.

JimNM · Apr 26, 2020

Supply chain includes the shipment from China to the retailer. There is a building resentment against the China Communist Party and their lies and obstruction over the Corona (Wuhan) virus. There may not be a market for their products next year as a result. Only time will tell.

The $183 shipping might have something to do with it. It takes that $150 compressor and makes it a $333 compressor, and that's the "basic" version. About $410 shipped for the adjustable set point version.
