I think there are two different things being discussed here. The first is expense, the second is value.

At the risk of putting words in Cajun's mouth, I don't think he meant to imply that the GorillaMaxx products are overpriced (value), although I can see where you might get that from his lottery comment. I think that he meant that it costs more than he or is wallet can comfortably absorb (expense). Unfortunately, I probably fall into this same category of buyer, too.

The way I see it, the GorillaMaxx products are top-of-the-line and first rate quality products at a VERY reasonable price, especially when you consider the design effort that went into it as well as the cost of owning and operating CNC equipment.

However as reasonable a price as it is, my level of income probably cannot comfortably support the purchase of one of these bad boys. Well, in truth it probably can with enough discipline, but my stint in the unemployment line for 11 months back in 2002 has done irreparable damage to my discretionary spending habits. :(

Because I don't race, I don't suppose that I would benefit greatly from a G-Maxx Extreme Makeover, so for me the economics of doing so doesn't make a lot of sense. Even going brushless would be more out of curiosity than any tangible justification by purpose.

At any rate, don't be put off because someone thinks your products are too expensive for their wallets -- you can't control what people can and cannot afford. However you should be proud of the products you produce, because they do seem to be a great value from all of the things I've read about them not only here, but on other message boards as well.

Just my $0.02. :D
