Yep, plus $15 shipping. Tell you what, I'll reduce the price to
exactly what I paid - $194. Just trying to recoup my cost.

Unless Bill Ung is sold out, I would think that most people would
prefer to purchase this from the original seller if there's no price
discount...

Does $190 sound better price police???

Bill's model is to collect (paid) orders until he has enough to do a
run, then he does the run and ships everybody's orders out. This can
lead to wait times of weeks to months. As far as I know, he doesn't keep
any in stock for future customers.

Not to fault Bill; he's honest and his system works great. I have one of
his kits, and patiently waited a couple of months for mine, but if
somebody wanted one now, this would be a good option.

Don't worry, I won't be purchasing it.

And yes, you were marking them up when it started, so at least call it
what it is.

If Bill doesn't have them in stock, then of course, you're the man!

Please everyone accept my sincerest apologies for "marking up" the
item $6. The price is now $194 so that I'm not accused of making a
profit (and is negotiable) if that makes everyone happy here in RGP
land.

Its a fantastic system, and this is a good opportunity for someone who
wants instant gratification without having to wait for the next run.

What makes you think I am out of stock? Nowhere does it say this on
my website?

If something is confusing, please let me know how to make it more
clear.

For reference, I have both AFM and RFM kits in stock right now.

Thanks...

My apologies, I checked your site and the last update was on 2/12 with
"the sixth production run on the AFM-LEDS is in progress". I took
this to mean you were working on them and they were not available now
as I didn't see any other updates. With that said, the price is now
$175 for everything.

BTW, I agree it's probably the single best mod ever. I bought two, a
green and a red set and ended up going with the green. That's the
only reason I'm selling the red set.

For the record it was 200 plus shipping and paypal fees - more than a
few bucks. so call it 225 and it is about 50 bucks.

I just double checked his web site and I must have paid $174.99 plus
$15 shipping. My costs were $189.99, not $194.99 (I like an idiot
just used the cost that YOU referenced earlier). Thus if I sold it
for $200 my "profit would have been a whopping $10.01. Yes the buyer
would pay ACTUAL shipping costs and ACTUAL PP fees. I WOULD NOT
profit from those costs at all. So, no I would not have made $50,
only $10.01. Understand???

Man this site is full of a bunch of people who have nothing else to do
but make theirself feel better by jumping on someones honest mistake.
If you are not interested in what is being offered or you don't want
to add a constructive opinion to a subject....stay away. I got caught
up in one of these threads the other day and cannot beleive some of
the opinions people post here. If someone posts a price out of line
let someone with good intentions point it out to them...don't attack
them geesh.
