After reading the thread 'Surefire U2 Close to Being Delivered', I think that SureFire is getting way, way too heavy handed in how they treat their dealers...the remaining dealers they still 'graciously' allow to sell their lights with their ever more fascist-like pricing and other 'policies', IMHO.
I love Surefire lights, but with increasing competition from other manufacturers, I think it's time to BOYCOTT THE U2! I MEAN 280 FREAKIN' DOLLARS?????? H@LL NO!
OK, rant mode off. Sort of.
Remember when the A2 came out at an unrealistically high price? I made the same suggestion for boycotting that light, and SureFire lowered the price.
I hope somebody at SureFire is following these threads on the U2.
Wake up.
If the US Government doesn't give you a Haliburtan-like lucrative contract for the U2, your only market is...US!!!!
Nobody, and I mean NOBODY but a card carrying CPF member, flashaholic is going to spend anywhere NEAR your price for the U2.
And I think it's about time you woke up and took a look at what your *competition* is making, and charging for their products.
Their quality is approaching SureFire's, at a fraction of the price, in my opinion.
So speak with your wallets. SureFire is seriously getting out of hand, I think!
Can you say 'price-fixing' lawsuit? It's not impossible.
Those more familiar with price-fixing Federal regulations are welcome to weigh in with their opinions of what's going on with SureFire pricing and other 'policies' toward their distributors.
I'm not a lawyer, and all this is just my opinion, for what it's worth. But, it smells very, very bad to me..... what if gets worse? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/sick2.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad71.gif
