LWCG Minis

[iamcorey]

Might have already been discussed but I can’t find it. Did they increase the price of their minis by $100? I sure don’t remember them being the same price as the full length.

None I’ve heard. Also did nt ask.. At the rate they are selling I can’t blame them.

I emailed asking about the price increase. The response I received was that The $299 price was a mistake. The hundred dollar increase was correcting that mistake

haha... that’s funny.

They have been that $299 price since they were released. Now they released the doublesteps which Andrae said himself are easier to cut. They priced them at $100 ea and people gobbled them up. So they jacked the price of the minis and fulls up to.

I would not be surprised if they jack the price of the 1.0 to $750 since people are paying that for the .5 that uses way less material.

Nothing more than pure greed. Nothing more nothing less... greed!

Is this greed or capitalism? Maybe sometimes the line between the two becomes blurred.

It’s a free market. No one forces u to pay for it. Put yourself in their shoes if markets dictate. A price increase u increase why give away profit

Greed or capitalism is an acceptable answer. Claiming pricing mistake when asked directly is weak sauce.

They could probably say anything and people would still throw money at them.

It’s greed. They already set their price.

Yea. Agree
Be upfront as Customer I’m ok with that. You have to keep the lights on. If I don't like the price wait for a sale or get second hand.

When u put good marketing +hype+ small batches. It equals high demand and more possible profit. Genius buissness really

It’s about the same as when they claimed the horrendously low edge quality of their waterjetting was purposely done for better camouflage.

It's interesting to see how people react to pricing, both increases and decreases.

We're lucky that none of us actually have to hunt to survive (excluding guides/outfitters, etc.) and this is, more or less, a recreational activity that we voluntarily participate in.
