Hi Craig. Still available, but eye watering expensive.

Hey Jeff / bigmoparjeff ,
I know the idiot outfits have them for $ 69 for a set of 4 plus shipping plus tax —- and I can’t pay $ 80 // $ 20 apiece — and resell them from there !!!!

And those idiot outfits only resell them — they don’t make them…. I need to find out who makes them….

( Your pictures didn’t show up ?!?! )

Craig…..

Not sure what's going on with the photos. If I go to another post then use the back button to come back here, one or two of the photos will show up.

I re-edited them to get rid of the ebay logo, and will post them again.

Early style:

Late style:

I wonder if you have to go the the big SEMA show to find out who makes this stuff. I can't think of any other way vendors would find out what's available to put in their stores.

at the correct price — NOT rapist fees….. )

What is that 'correct price'???

Somebody reverse-engineered that part, found a vendor willing to do small production runs (or they had to buy a 10-year supply), possibly pay for tooling, get them plated, get set up to sell to the parts-resellers, packaging/labeling, etc. Somebody took a risk on how many they would sell. If the price is cut in half, the market will not automatically support a double in sales. All of that is reflected in the selling price.

If repop houses are selling them for $70, the original guy would be lucky to be getting half of that.
I would say whoever brought these to market deserves his exclusivity.
The parts are available, so when your customers need them, simply tell them where to find them?

You probably cannot buy them from whoever is making them anyway, they likely won't sell to someone who doesn't 'own' that part.

^^^ All “ T.B.D. “ ^^^ ( to be determined)….

I am known for having the best Quality Parts at the best possible price —- and I HAD many of those Positioners at the correct price years ago…..

What happens presently and in the future moving forward —
“ T.B.D. “

$ 70 plus shipping plus tax plus tax on shipping makes a set north of $ 80 —- that is over $ 20 EACH —- that I S —-
Rapist Fees…..

Can I be the King on these Positioners again ??? T.B.D……

Everything is more expensive vs 'years ago'.

If you get them for resale, are you going to sell these things at your cost?
Or are you willing to buy 5000 of them to get your cost down so you can sell them for , say, $10 each? (if that is the correct price?)
If somebody brings something to market, and then somebody else inserts themselves and drives the price down, and takes a piece of the pie for themself (kinda like a Chinese knockoff), eventually nobody wants to take the risk of launching a reproduction. That hurts us all.

And again - what is this correct price you speak of?
