Well, as long as they still have em.

I could probably get them for $20 each if ordering enough of them, 1,000's.....

Apparently they are discontinued, so getting them for $75 from MPC Stuff or VST if they are still available is going to be a really good idea nd I urge everyone in need of one to grab one from them NOW if they still have them.

As I stated in this thread, they are available to me even if discontinued, I just have to order a ton. I can get one order of a short run up front as an 'evaluation sample' at $105 each..... it would be even cheaper for more pieces. I can get them for $75 each if I order 1000. If I ordered 5,000 or 10,000 I could probably get them for $15-25, but do the math!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well sounds like a sound business proposition for you, considering that you have 4000, 3000, & 2000 users will all be needing these
and competing for these....

I don't want to committ now to a LCD and Pad Sensor yet, as I have to first get a LCD replacement kit for my P3, as that would
hurt me more if it disappeared then the MPC. But i'm probably going to be on your list as well.....



Cheers,
Dave

dang.... wish I could do this different.

HD = $5500 + Shipping + $250 for PT8

Whip = $6400 + Title, Tax, Transfer

Gotta get both, then sell the 98 Deville $2500, and boat $2500 before I'll have cheddar to pick some up.

Droppin a little chunk of change.

We'll make it happen, I might have an investor throwin me some stacks pretty quick and if that happens I'll have it this weekend or next.

yup. they have to be from the same source.

patents apply even once sold, so it would be illegal for anyone else to make the same part.

I guess I'm layin off this one.

They had to have ordered lots of them to get em at a price they could still profit on at $85.

So, get em from them, I will no be persuing them at this point.
