I have a connection in Vietnam that can facilitate the purchase of these at a good price. I wanted to get Mark Henery's blessing on this before proceeding but if his deal is dead we would like to put together a GB on these. So pending Mark's response I've posted. We will not make you buy the rubber tops but will offer a discount on them as incentive to help push the thread. Specifics will be pending response from Mark.

IMO:
The only way I can see these bumpers being sold 'outside' of the initial development deal, would be if tooling costs were funded 100% (or very near that) by the manufacturer. Initiating development by sending parts to be reproduced and funding initial batch runs should have value. Permissions, arrangements or notifications should be made before 'outside' deals are made. Example: I participate in development and order 100 units, I would NOT expect the manufacturer to begin making and selling those same items before I have a chance to sell all or at least a good portion of my initial order. And if I held an option for further orders during initial agreements. It would indeed be unethical for the manufacturer to begin offering items outside of the deal. Unless of course I defaulted or failed to keep my end of the initial agreement. |
