I keep seeing posts requesting the "CHEAPEST" price. Is "CHEAP" the new goal for those of us in business?


In not so many words yes, to most it is. This is why china, Mexico and India are building our products (generally speaking of coarse). Product is junk but its cheap as hell. I also think a lot of people tend to buy the cheapest when its a one time use item, some things excepted of coarse like parachutes. You send a bullet down range and it becomes trash, its hard to justify beating a dime up with a hammer every 5 seconds so some prefer to trash the least expensive component.

For me its not so much price, or quality, but service. I like a company that communicates with its patrons and lets them know what is going on. In order from that I would say quality, then price. Lets face it we didn't get into the "gun" hobby to save money.

That last part kills me about some of these post, some guys get so excited to save $2.99 on a K of bullets to send down the barrel of their $1,000 .45 or .357 and complain about the prices of components. If your that hard up for $2.99 maybe this isn't the hobby for you.

I know people that will drive clear to the other side of town to buy a product non gun related to save $10. I guess some people feel like they are being taken advantage of if there is a cheaper price elsewhere.
