Who was looking for Snapdragon 1.5's (140 plus shipping).
I have 6 on the way.
1. Chowderhead72
2. kingdal
3. jazzvaper
4.houndb
5.Asbestos
6. Papa_Lazarou

Alternate:
1. Inspects
2.


you don't choose the snapdragon.......the snapdragon chooses you

I didn't realize Papa Laz took the last spot on Monday.
Occasionally crap happens and people back out, but honestly looking at this list I wouldn't count on it. All of the people on this list are my well seasoned Veterans that don't disappear when the invoice drops. That said if anyone on this list wishes to back out I'm nearly certain Inspects would be glad to fill the spot.

Tom..I'm heading into work, if you could find the list I'll take one....!
Found it, bad news though. And for the record I consider you a seasoned veteran also. You just showed up late. I will have a chance to buy these again hopefully at a better price also... I'm making $10 a piece on these but I really wanted to be able to offer them. I have since made a wholesale contact for them.

Up until the NarDa I had considered attys that were pre-bottom fed the competition which I have realized was a mistake. I might not do all of them but I'm trying. It seems a lot of the modders that offer a BF version still see me as competition however, Norbert, Loki, etc which is unfortunate because I can actually help them both in sales and advice on how to make their BF system work better.

I don't think the guy in the number one spot wants one. Plus he always pays late.

Sadly, there are too many vendors with this type of mentality. They think this is the way to make more money. I think more people need to model their businesses like Tom's and Corey's. You guys go way out of your way to provide the ultimate customer service and that is why you two are so popular. When you see bottom feed mod makers making fun of their competition, you know that something must be up with their products. Of course I had to find out the hard way, but live and learn.

Really appreciate it Tom....I'll take a couple Snapdragons if you acquire more.

After 10 hours of fighting a 3" x 4" block of aluminum.... I think I finally have a winner... 2.33" x 4.06 x 15/16" smaller than the cam-r smaller than the cam-m, same output. As much as I would like to I don't have the confidence to try to spit these out done by hand. This one will be headed to Harry to be copied and cnc'ed. I'm thinking if I stick,with a simple plate door and bezel I can keep the machining aspect down to $50-55 making 350-400 a reality with battery and high power usb cable. Anodized of course.

I bought the solsices the same way actually. Made next to nothing on them. The stumpy and NarDa will get me back in the black... The Catfish is looking a bit emaciated right now. This prototyping business is expensive. I thought drill bits were expensive.... Carbide mill bits are stupid expensive. The bit that recesses the 510 is almost $200 alone. That blue vise was almost $600 on sale with all the parts. This is why this stuff cost so much. I will say the vise is awesome though.
