Members TheGZeus,OnFire Posted May 19, 2005 Members Share Posted May 19, 2005 Originally posted by Shocker I find pointing out your ironic statements and half-cocked reasoning out amusing. The fact that you can't either take a joke or leave an issue alone when it's been shown that you neither have a clue what you're talking about, nor have a clue that you're clueless, adds further to the amusement. I put smileys at the end of some of my correspondence with you because you honestly are one of the funniest people I've seen on this board, and talking with you is like finding out what's on the mind of a fern. Have fun. //S You don't even know what irony IS if you think I've been ironic in this thread.You have now stooped to baseless insults. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I give a {censored} about R&D work because it justifies a higher price.Peavey doesn't charge a premium for higher demand products(the 6505 went DOWN this past year as all other things went up, despite the fact that they could have kept the price the same).I wouldn't.It's good ETHICS to charge enough to make a profit that's REASONABLE. Charging $4000 for something that took you 20 minutes and 2c to make is unethical, unless developing that process cost you a significant amount of time/effort/money.

Members Panopticon Posted May 19, 2005 Members Share Posted May 19, 2005 One thing I dont understand about Emg, is them coming out with "signature" pickup sets that are just their normal pickups. I saw on the front page of HC a minute ago; the Kerry King signature Emg set. All it is is an 81 and a 85 with a preamp. Come on. Pretty lame.

You know NOTHING about business....supply and demand. And there obviously was R&D on it in the past....why shouldn't they make money off of it in the future?? Shouldn't Duncan lower the price on the C5??? Shouldn't Duncan lower the prices on all their pickups once they aren't doing tons of R&D on them anymore?? Please...get with the program and learn how business *really* run. Again, just because YOU can't figure out how to make them work for you, don't bash the company and cry about how expensive they are when EVERY pickup company is over-priced when you think about it.

That has nothing to do with my gripe. The fact that they slap someones name on it and call it a "signature set" is my only gripe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duncan is constantly doing R&D on newer pikcups to get the tone their customers ask for. Supply and demand is one part of business. They've recouped all their R&D and can thus lower the price.

No offense, but you HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. You would run any business into the ground so fast if you haven't done it already. No company would EVER lower their price after they recouped R&D cost ESPECIALLY if their was still a high demand for their product....Duncan included. And what's all this R&D that Duncan is doing?? Please...it's {censored}ing magnets, wires, and bobbins.....they're not designing the {censored}ing space shuttle. It's all about $$$....NOT R&D.
