E-TAC 47 Posted January 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 First Production run of 100 sold out in one day! These will be made in polymer, if the sales keep strong. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
E-TAC 47 Posted January 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Couldn't you make a polymer version that would be more reasonably priced. If it were affordable maybe more people would try it out and might even like it. I think it would also be lighter. I would like to try it out just to see, but I would not spend near that amount. Sorry. Yes, that has been the long term plan. For now being in Hawaii, we are using our machine shop to produce these. Our Super speed Haas will put out only 2 high quality pcs per hour. That is what makes the price. You may find a lower price from one of our vendors listed below. MSRP is set at $65. Brownells DPMS Shooters Connection Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DrGonZo 157 Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 1st run of 100 sold out already.... Just goes to show that a fool and his money will soon be parted, as the saying goes. Grip or rest... $70 is too God damned expensive I'll just stick with my MagPul ladder rail covers and I'll buy a few extra mags with the money. I dont mean to be a dick or anything, but $70 for that tiny piece of metal is ridiculous IMO. And I wouldn't buy a polymer version unless it was less than $15. $70 for a thumb rest/grip I just don't see the point, but maybe I'm the crazy one. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
E-TAC 47 Posted January 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Real simple guys. For those who don't like the price you don't have to buy it! But clogging this post with your rants is distracting for those who may want to use this item or learn about it. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DrGonZo 157 Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Dont -1 me for voicing my opinion on a ridiculously over priced product. Maybe if the price was more reasonable, your post wouldn't get clogged with VALID OPINIONS! 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No offense, but if you don't want people "hijacking" your thread with honest criticism about your ridiculous price, maybe you should have just kept it posted it in your business forum safe zone where it's actually frowned upon to be negative towards a business member. The consensus seems to be that you're charging way too much for your product. Take the comments for what they're worth or ignore them and deal with it. You'll probably have better luck with the AR guys who will put that kind of money into a new tacticool product to hang off of their rifles anyway. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ok, some people cant afford it. next topic. :lolol: I'll try to speak your language here. You missed the point brah. It's not that they can't afford it, brah, it's that they aren't going to spend that much for so little, brah. Just so you know, I had to switch over to "Dog the Bounty Hunter" to get in character... I understand that you want to price it that high, you are more than free to do so, that's your right as an American. These other Americans have just as much right to voice their opinion as you have to price your "bottle opener" that high. Mind you, I have said nothing negative about your product until this point, and I have no problem with the product. I'm just not "high-speed" enough (that's supposed to be read, mall-ninja) to warrant having one, I already know and practice a thumbs forward stance. I have a problem with businesses who wish to silence all naysayers about their products through forms of fear or punishment. You are unhappy with people posting about your price? Fine, only YOU can fix that, lower the price, delete the post, or deal with it. Brah. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
E-TAC 47 Posted January 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 Ok, last post on the price thing. If you saw my post above you will know that our HAAS VF3SSYT will put out 2 of these an hour. Economics has priced these items. That machine costs x amount per hour to run in the state of Hawaii. Now these machine cost more than most houses in the US, and has to be paid off in 5years. So when you do the math, it will add up. Like I said you don't have to buy it if you don't like the price. If MAA or CSS picks up this item you may see it priced lower than MSRP, but it is up to them. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

" "Now these machine cost more than most houses in the US, and has to be paid off in 5years. " It seems that you may have bought the wrong machine, for this product at least. To justify the price by saying we must pay more so we can pay for your 'Cadillac' machine, seems odd to me. Im not bashing you or your product, but It feels to me that someone planned the production of this product incorrectly; with all due respect. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

G O B 3,516 Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 First Production run of 100 sold out in one day! These will be made in polymer, if the sales keep strong. I like the Idea, and when they can be made of polymer (I HATE aluminum for any kind of grip) at polymer prices I may buy one. That said, there are all kinds of shooters here, and someone with $$$ who thinks this may help win a match would think the price reasonable. However count me in the cheapskate group!
