But man I just find it hilarious how CD was praised for their pricing back when they first started out
It's all swings and roundabouts, isn't it?
I paid about $50 for a KO Black G1 Convoy, but the Nemesis Prime Reprolabels set I want to get for it is ~$33!
...at that point, I'm looking at that head, and going 'hmmmm'....
Let's pretend Crazy Devy pay more than cursory attention to these forums (cursory is the best we can hope for, given some of the products and prices that have gone on after solicitations for past product were placed on such sites) -
MAKE IT WITHIN REASONABLE PRICES!!!
It stands to reason that there are quite a good few FP Bruticus owners out there - they're stupid prices on the secondary market.
If it was $15 to 20, more or less the 'rough' going rate for such add-ons currently, I'd wager that it would be a no-brainer for most FP Bruticus owners - and they would more than double the take up of this product... (Dr Wu's Protector faceplate springs to mind)...
As it is, most of us are on boards going 'look what price these guys are looking for this!!!'...
Simple economics always dictate that the first run of any product will cost more to make, but CD seem to insist on making obscene profits on these items even before the first run is done...
And, like you say, their track record on reliability and customer service means its even more of a gamble on this item....
Tell you what, Crazy Devy - send me a sample, and I'll be more than happy to champion your product, if it warrants it....
Or, simply half the price. You'll more than double the customer take-up, and you'll still make a profit. MmmK?
