Shouldn't this be in the classifieds anyway?

You are getting all worked up but nobody is being a *** to you, I never said you were greedy, I said if you get greedy. You make a nice product but lovefab is sex they are a little more refined then yours. HMT is always looking for parts at good prices just dont price yourself out of the market that helped get you were you are now mr big wheel

You should at least sell something cheaper than 200.
Comon a log is 4 damn pipes at 5 bucks a piece + a head flange, say 25 bucks, and a t3 flange at 20 bucks at most.

What did you expect posting such expensive things on HMT?

If something is over 200-300 dollars, then it probably won't be sold here.

Cut $100 off of everything and maybe you'll get some business.

Lets correct your price list:
Head Flange $27
Turbo Flange $17
Wastegate Flange $12
2x schedule 40 1.5" stainless steel t's $31.38
3x shedule 40 1.5" stainless steel 90's $17.67
shipping from mcmaster.com $10
aprox 1/4 lb of 308l filler rod $3
aprox 1/2lb of 309l filler rod $4
apox 600psi of argon $7.5
band saw blade $15
belt sand paper $15
2x 4.5" cut off wheels for angle grinder $4
1x 4.5" angle grinder grinding wheel $5
aprox 5 hours of work start to finish $82 (that is 16.2$ an hour, normal tig welding and fitting charge is over $40 an hour)
USPS Flate Rate Box shipping $8.80 with confirmation number
sitting in rush hour traffic in one of the largest citys in the world wasting gas, $10
losing out of work for that 2 hours of sitting in traffic
-James
overall I think that is a very good price for all the time and effort that goes into it.
notice we have an actual shop and must pay bills like any other person, it is not an
part time buisness anymore.

Also notice there is only one person building all the turbo manifolds, downpipes, dumptubes (me, james)
And to try and have prices so low that you only make $5 of each manifold it would be next to impossible to stay in buisness because
you would be working 24/7 and the human body just cant take all that.
