    Grip Gurl, throwing in the towel

    Well Guys I think I am going to have to stop making grips.


    My intial goal was to make a grip that was affordable for everyone. In doing so I made myself broke. To many orders unclaimed, which has cost me money in the long run.


    So the last 2 orders that have paid which is...Aaron with the green biohazards and Jujigote with the mag logo will be the last of the grips that I will make.

    I tried to be nice to everyone, which has just led to my poor business management.

    So I am not excepting any more orders. Please do not email me with anymore. I feel really bad having to stop but I think it is best for me.

    Thanks to all of you who have paid and been great people to deal with.

    To those of you that own a pair...maybe they'll be collectors items!

        Sorry to hear this, I was looking forward to the Leopard idea. May I suggest prepayment and a price increase. On any custom item like this prepayment is expected.
        Anyways, sad to hear.
        Good luck in what you do

          yea, people just arent very reliable when online. Prolly because yer looking at a screen rather than right into someones eyes. but i say, HIRE MR T! He will solve all those dead beats, everyone will pay! If u get down on the money you can sell off his jewlry...

          Mr t says deadbeats are fools!

            What do you have for unclaimed gips? I might be interested in a pair. I've seen your work, so I'd be proud to use them. Just let me know what's floating around, and the price.

                Yeah, prepayment is the answer, methinks.
                You could up the price more if you want as well, I saw your work on the website, and thought you should charge some more for custom made grips.

                Better luck to you in the future,

                  I think people wil pay a lot more than you're charging for such custom stuff. If you really are going to close down instead of just raising prices and changing policy, I'd be interested in a pair of unclaimed emag rubber wrap-arounds before they disappear. If you decide to continue on, I'll be contacting you sometime this summer, after I actually HAVE an emag.

                    Damn! I wanted to order a pair real soon too...procrastination has its drawbacks. Well, if you do decide to continue through prepayments...post again. Or, if you have any emag grips laying around...pm me. I am definitely interested.

                        I just sold a bunch to a local store at a great discount. I'll see what I have left over.

                        Right now I am packing to move to a new home by the end of this month so let me see what I can do.

                        Take care.

                            Maybe I will.

                            I will have to see when I get to the new house, how everything is going to go.

                            My Husband doesn't want me to stop because he see how happy and content it makes me to have a little project on my own.


                            Let me think about it.

                              I, like the rest of AO would like to harrass you to reconsider your dropping the grip biz. I would like to buy a pair as well, but I can wait until your things get settled. I would be more than happy to pay a little extra for custom grips. Keep us posted on whats going on. Thanks
                              for your great work.
