9/0 Hot rodding

I hear Crickets Chirping Erik.

  I can hear them too D

Put me down for two -- if another run is made...

Alas, considering the difficulties Mr. Shark encountered selling off the final few frames of the original batch, I imagine another run is out of the question... unless there are a hundred pre-paid orders up front, or something like that.

Still, if it ever happens, I'll certainly buy one, even though I've already got two.

You are right, Aiala --

Get a commitment for at least 50, or 100 -- from folks on this Board.

Get a 50% deposit up front.

We can realize that there are not a lot of people worldwide, who do what we do with reels.  And the old adage "If you build it, they will come" -- is not really a good business model when producing an expensive and specialized product like a 9/0 frame.

And, some may not agree with me -- but we need to make these a little more expensive, so that the makers can realize a little profit.

Anytime folks see and use these frames -- there will be a demand for many more.

The 9/0 frame venture was not about profit. It was about bringing something special to the members here. That's why I took the ball from Dominick and ran with it. I wanted his venture to end as it should have. I know he is grateful and I took pride in doing so.

Daron, I had to put my sunglasses on to look at your handle and it still didn't help .
As for the frames, I have plenty, but as you already know, I'm there if you need me to get in on it to help et it going

[foakes]

Daron -- you did a great job of completing the 9/0 sales!

I was just offering my opinion that it isn't right for anyone to offer these to our group -- and then have a tough time moving them all -- unless they are making a couple of bucks on each one.

These are a great value, and make a very tough reel combination when set up properly.

We appreciate all you did to move these.

How many were sold to members, and how many did you sell on ebay?

Looking forward to another run!

Best,

Fred

[Shark Hunter]

I only sold two on ebay. Those same two are coming back to me here. It was Mike.

[erikpowell]

I've got 6 over here 

[ChileRelleno]

I was bummed when I couldn't tear a Franklin loose earlier in the year for a frame.
But I now have one coming my way and I'm excited about it.

[Shark Hunter]

We could have worked something out John. I took it you weren't interested. My Bad. 30 Lashes!

[ChileRelleno]

We could have worked something out John. I took it you weren't interested. My Bad. 30 Lashes!

Yeah, we probably could've, if'n we knew each other better at the time.
I like to have money matters settled, nothing hanging, it bothers me.
No bad, everything is great as a matter of fact.
Put down the whip...  Unless you enjoy that kind'a stuff 

[Shark Hunter]

I have six too Erik, Modded to the Hilt! 3 Silver and 3 Black. Set!

[mjg3]

Shark Hunter you ready for the 2nd? let me know!!

[Shark Hunter]

Send it on Mike! I'm ready!

[Shark Hunter]

I'm still waiting Mike. Where you at?
