SOLD Thunderbeast 50% cert. reduced

I truly don't understand why someone will spend $1100 for a 100% cert but not half that for a 50% cert. Unless I'm missing something, if a 100% cert is worth $1100 then a 50% cert is worth $550. Any 50% cert that sells for less is a better deal than a 100% cert, unless tax is the problem? I dunno.

Good snag.

With a 100% cert at 1100 you're only going to be out 1100 towards the purchase. 50% cert is the cost of the cert +50% cost of the suppressor for a total higher than 1100.

^this. even without buying the 50% cert you'll still be into it $800+ for a suppressor that isn't everyone"s cup of tea due to being fully welded.

100% cert for $1100: 338 ultra SR is $1100 out of pocket cost
The math: 1100=1100

50% cert for $500: 338 ultra SR is $1685 out of pocket cost
The math: (2370/2) +500 = 1685

Plus the tax stamp and dealer transfer fee either way…

Built a spreadsheet to work it out. Roughly speaking, the 100% cert makes sense if you're getting one of the $1900+ cans, but the $250-350 50% certs are the better deal if you're playing in the Ultra price bracket. At $250 the 50% is better for even the Dominus-SR.

Fun math exercise.
