General notice:
Well, Sports, as much as I hate to do it - particularly in the present economic times - I’ve gotta raise the price of the F/Bs.
When I 1st started do’n ‘em for the XSs - what,18 yrs ago? - I priced them @ $70 delivered. Since then, you all know what prices have done. I did have a price jump to $90 a few years ago, but that was a few yrs ago.
Now, OUCH! Aluminum is over $3.65 a pound and my supplier has a fuel surcharge if I don’t hit a $250 min order level. Not only, but the delivery min is now $145. Sure, I can pick it up locally, for $4.85/lb., plus $10 cutting charge if I don’t take a full stick.
Rufly, a set of F/Bs start out @ about 3.5#s, that’s just under $13. Add in the S.S. skt hds & the custom ground tools, &c. & we’re push’n $14. But thnx to our US Gov. & e-mail, mailing just jumped to $4.90 domestic, $10.95 to Canada, & 12.95 everywhere else inna World!
note: 1st order (one set) to Antarctica is still free.
It still takes about 2 hrs/set to make. Shop to shop rate is $75/hr. Do the math - 14+150 = $164 domestic F.O.B. Santa Clara. We’ll skip the incidentals of gas, handling, standing in line @ the PO, yadayada. Obviously, I’m do’n this to help the Group, not to pay the rent.
But - I’d like some help w/ the postage. With regrets, the new pricing will be:
Domestic $92, Canuk $103, Everybody else $105.
I’ll hold the old prices of $90, $92, $97 thru 31 Mar. Apr. 1st seems like an appropriate day to put ‘em into effect.
For those of you not familiar w/ the product, check my web site, <

Again, regrets.
