Hell, I am greedy... Just not on this forum!!!
You are right, but selling stuff relies on the magic "value for money" perception. If you think you got a good deal, who is to say that you have not. Like I said earlier, maxamps lipos seem great after you replace some venom cardboard cased stick packs (these are as overpriced as maxamps products, 60 bucks for a 6 cell 4500 mah cardboard no-matched crap nimh pack???). So double the performance for double the price (maxamps 2s packs are around 120 bucks), sounds fair right? Now if you know you can get a zippy for about 45 bucks shipped that will perform as well as the MA pack, well not sounding so fair, right... We all remember $100 6 cell nimh matched cells... That really sounds out of the box compared to that zippy pack.
All about what you have to reference against... If you read the rc mags and get your info there, zippy does not even exist to you...
