i think they dropped the price to compete with d1swoop.

Don making making things good for the consumers. dropping pricing from other vendors.

Andrew@ET · 09-26-2008, 11:39 AM

says a defect .. im sure its not to compete but to get rid of stock they otherwise could not sell to a customer.

possibly, but if it's not noticeable they could just sell it at the regular price. RPI is coming out with an updated/improved model as well too. so it could just be their "clearance" price.

Andrew@ET · 09-26-2008, 12:10 PM

hmmm... mayb time for a swoop scoop v2

any feed back welcome !!

The scoops pictured are RPI's v2. Maybe they'll be a v3, but honestly, short of not requiring the use of self tapping screws, I can't imagine there is much they can change. The v1s were boxier, like the swoop scoops sold through a vendor here.

Andrew@ET · 09-26-2008, 12:33 PM

shragon · 09-26-2008, 01:19 PM

from their site, the ones for $75 have cosmetic imperfections. regular ones are still $200. http://shoprpi.com/index.php?cPath=21_22_30_41

nicosusername · 09-26-2008, 01:27 PM

they are only going to be selling 25 of them for $75 due to a slight blemish...

NMS335 · 09-26-2008, 01:49 PM

Apparently they sold out, the link doesn't pull up any products any more.

Probably a ploy to free up some money and move inventory at a lower price without making existing customers angry.

hun77777 · 09-26-2008, 11:02 PM

markup on these must be over 1000%. i know materials are less than $1 per unit... considering all other related cost, still it's way over priced... well, someone's making money off this thing...

Welcome to capitalism!!

. We should complain more about not thinking about this ourselfs.

JoeyFiasco · 09-27-2008, 03:32 AM

that's a hell of a mark down, what's the minor flaw? do they just send you a sheet of alu, a small hammer, a spraycan and paper instructions?
