Concerns with extreme emag

[Pand0ra]

Sorry but I've to disagree with all of you :)
Your point of view is correct, but only on the short term.

For almost all the markers it takes 2 years before they really start to be seen on the fields.
It's only this year, with the new version of the Timmy, that you see them often on the fields. And the first version was released two years ago, if I remember well.

The best thing to do is start slowly to produce, then increase the production over the year.
However, you've to make sure all your markers are reliable, otherwise poeples will start to say bad things about it.

That's at least what I think.

Yep, the fact that all their new upgrades always fit the entire family of AGD markers is proof to me that good things are worth waiting for. I can't think of a single AGD produced upgrade or marker that wasn't 100% fantastic - look at a bunch of the upgrades for other markers, and try and make that statement.

AGD is probably the only company that I could feel confident purchasing something from without even knowing what it does, but being sure that it's going to be an awesome piece of equipment once I figure it out

I'm going to have to say that outside of the AO faithful, there is no real hype. There has been a tickling, a fanciful glance of that which is to come, but no hype. 150 by the end of the year starts whetting the appetites of the unwashed heathen masses. No real hype even then though. Hype will be achieved in a year or so, when there are enough out there that people can walk into their local store and see one on the wall. Until then, you have a minor percentage of the population "in the know".

just my thoughts though.

You guys are WAY overestimating the number of 1000 dollar markers sold every month. Remember, it took 6-7 months to sell 40 SFL's. I have half a million dollars in Emag parts right now sitting in inventory, it is not a smart business decision to spend another half mill so we don't get into back order. Besides that you guys will want something different in the next 6 months anyway.

OUCH!!!! he he he he...true...but in the mean time...

[shartley]

HeeHee... but that is what keeps things interesting!

[Vanced]

LOL

AND then Tom layeth the smacketh down ...

As Tom so polietly reminds us that they are his markers before they will ever by ours...

Folks just got to remember, it is how we have fun on a weekend, but how he puts food on the table, and needs to do it economically as possible... But from what I know of people, someone will always complain about something...

Now where's my darn Extreme!!!!

[AGD]

The other bench with more stuff.

Talk about kid in a candy shop!!! Nice shop Tom.

It's one thing to complain that the first 150 are completely spoken for, but how many people out there actually have the cash to fork over for the new Extreme at this very moment? I look in the Sale Threads and I see people asking for a deal on a ten dollar sear assembly. Then I read threads by the very same people complaining about the lack of availability of the Extreme. Some people really need to grow up and smell what they're shoveling.

Tom keep up the good work and when you can, let's see some more "Classic Emag Bodies" with a no-rise vert feed.

Actually what we want to know is why you are on this board and not slaving away making Extremes for us! You better not have taken a lunch

ROFL.....wait a second I better get back to work too so I can eventually buy one of those things.......

i would totally love to work at that place(well, at least until i got bored, which would take a while). too bad i live in CA. It would be fun to tour the place.

1st off: I finally agreed with shartley on a subject so for that i deserve atleast a cookie.

2nd and more importantly:

I noticed alot of you guys are saying people outside of ao don't know alot about the extreme if anything. This would lead me to believe even more people outside of ao are gonna goto a different marker if they don't even know it exists. Ignorance is bliss.

I know once these things get out to the general public and start showing up on fields people are gonna love um to pieces but lets get um out there before like tom said we want something new in 6 months.

I guess there isn't a whole lot to do in the situation if money is the issue however this i veiw as AGD's doorway to future. Once AGD's products arent looked at as gas hogs, blenders ect. in people's minds they'll be able to feed the market whatever they want and become a big time company in the industry making other companies having to have better standards of quality and performance making it better for all of us. I know the people that know AGD makes quality products and always have will want the extreme but the greatness of this has to be proved to the general public.

As I said in my first I sold the mag for an angel. Loved the mag and love AGD products still. However as i think Shartley mentioned how many of these people that buy now are gonna sell of thier gun and buy these when they are out? At this current moment i don't think it would be a good idea to sell the angel for around 700-800 and put it towards the extreme just because the angel is very competable as it is and i would lose a part of my investment in doing so.

I really did love shooting your blue extreme at the factory Tom and i do see myself having one of these instead of the angel eventually.

I stated this same concern about 3 or 4 weeks ago I believe.
