All,
Been out of towm with Family this week, sorry to have missed this one. My take on this is if you can build one yourself go for it. If you commision a machine then that's great to, but machine shop labor isn't cheap as I iknow first hand! I have costs to consider when pricing these units. 1. Sponsoring this BBS. 2 Advertising Nationally. 3. Product liability 4. Proffessional fees related to Patent issues 5. Web site development and hosting, and the list goes on. I basically take my Manufacturing costs and add the other costs above to that and then decide what I need to make on each unit to make it worth while. That's how I and many other manufacturers determine pricing. I do foresee a change in pricing in the future but not any time soon. I wish I could afford to just give everybody one but I just can't afford it. Just like we're all in the business to pressure wash, well homeowners and business owners could do that themselves too. I use nothing but the best materials I can find to build these units. The components are precission machined, the hardware 316 grade stainless steel, and each unit is a result of my hard work and research. If that's not worth anything to you, then so be it.
