Re: SnipersHide/SWFA SS HD 5-20x50 GroupBuy
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: selfbowhunter</div><div class="ubbcode-body"> very nice gesture by swfa and snipershide.com, however, i cant help but think the amount of markup to be able to do this. they are certainly not going to take a loss. notice how a price was not released until after preproduction scopes were in the hands of some to review. i believe this was done to gauge "demand". this is a very smart business tactic but the price has certainly reflected everyones eagerness for availability. had everyone not got their panties in a wad, the scope would probably have been closer to $1000 retail anyway. just an honest opinion base on observation. no ill will intended. FLAME AWAY!

Not even close, the scope was always meant to be more, actually the name is what kept the others in the line lower... I know for a fact the 10XHD and the 3-9X originally were going to be more money.
As far as the deal on here, this was only done because "I" worked with SWFA and brought in the site to help... had they had to pay that space you think it would have been discounted if that $500 a month was going to space, not just here but anywhere... it was only done because of more than a weeks worth of negotiating on the part of the SWFA and the SH...
Leave to DICKS like you to just to fuck with something that benefits people trying to twist it around and spin like the company is fucking with you.
I will tell you now, the 10XHD was supposed to be $1200... they sell it for $800 because the name really keep it down further than it should be. The fact they are not putting them out to dealers helps, but that doesn't take away from the fact they are very good scopes. You'd pay for another brand that is not quite as good simply because they have a "name"
