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.

It's common for a company to claim ownership to give the impression their product is different than everyone else's, thus worth a higher price. But in the real world a Chinese contract manufacturer honors no such contract for long and everyone is free to buy a large quantity. I can't say if this is an instance of this, I'm just sharing what I've learned from product engineering. It's also common for a Manufacturer to "own" the tooling, either by being made only for their machine, or as part of the agreement, to prevent the buyer from price shopping in the future. Generally, I offer to buy xxx amount of fenders for yyy and the Manu would decide if it was worth it for them to make the dies. I don't actually own the dies I just paid for them in my order. The Manu profits from subsequent orders. (that took too long to write but I ain't going to delete it now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bootyshake.gif) ) ---- On a side note, why is it always stainless? It's pricey and a bitch to work with. I'd be happy with plain steel that could be painted or chromed after being modded GT style. Pete I'm talking to you (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
