I know it's pety... but Alignment Clips for Newman frames.
Gilligan:
I just can't see paying over $20 bucks for these things and when you can find them for a MORE reasonable $15 it is $15 bucks in shipping to go with that "low" price.
These things cost about a buck a piece and I'm fine with getting robbed for few bucks for a set but I'm not paying $25-$35 for them!
If anyone has an extra ONE even laying around I'm starting my collection of 3 and I'll give you a couple of bucks for them.
Hell, if you are a commercial vendor for these things and want to drop them in an envelope for a reasonable amount I'll be glad to buy them, just send me a PM and your secret is safe with me.
Frog:
Wouldn't that be committing the cardinal sin that I see mentioned here so often, "leaving money on the table"?
Capitalism is a slippery slope comrade. ;D
ScreenFoo:
Thanks a lot Frog, now they'll be charging $40... cause they can. ::)
Gilligan:
I believe in fair capitalism... granted, I have no clue how you would really define that.
But price gouging isn't part of that!
Like the unbelievableness of a $20 USB cable at Best Buy or related to our business. "Fast Signs" has a "special" they are advertising in my town 1000 biz cards 1 color $59, full color $99 bucks! If got print can print them for me for under $10 bucks and they seem to be making good money then how the hell can you justify $99 bucks. Insane. I have a hard time charging $60 bucks! We do throw in a bit of graphic work for "free" with that.
These clips are less than a buck a piece when bought for their original purpose. Don't get me started on locking strips! ;)
Frog:
Hey, I'm on your side, but face it, most of us would love to be able to buy low, and sell high.
Re-purposing, and targeting a new market at a higher perceived value is a time honored money making strategy. "Find a need and fill it", or even better, "create a need and fill it."
We see it with things as simple as cake spatulas/ink knives
So, maybe you could find a new calling, and start supplying heavily discounted alternatives to the industry. A slight deviation in careers, and you may be able to completely sidestep learning how to coat a screen (because you will not like the prices on capillary film)
