Hey BC,
Sorry I have been a bit more busy with work lately. I think some of the criticism is constructive…and if that was what you were looking for by posting now, that’s fine. If not, delete this and create a BST instead, where you can have the comments deleted. No one can complain about your prices in there either.
If I were you, I would make a new prototype, since we discussed the changes, create this in the BST, but only when you are ready to sell them. I think $12 shipped, with tracking, for the three color bracelet is just fine. Especially if you are making it to size. I think comparing it to a three color paracord bracelet elsewhere, of the same quality, you are competitive. The one color, you can decide on an adjustment if you like. If you post in the BST, you can negotiate the prices, if you are comfortable doing so.
But, have confidence in your decisions. I’m here if you need me to be, but the final decisions with your business…are yours. Be comfortable with your decisions and own them.
As for BC making these out of paracord, the same material as Legyoyo…each yo-yo manufacturer is using the same substance as the next to make the same product…a yo-yo, so I don’t see anything weird about this one. He has Legyoyo’s blessing on it, and they are friends, so that is my comment on that. Legyoyo’s product costs the same, with shipping. But, this is not a Legyoyo holster compared to BC bracelet thread anyway.
So far you got some positive criticism:
“Looks interesting.”
The fact that someone might want to buy one elsewhere, or buy something else instead, don’t sweat that…who cares? You will not be selling these to everyone in the world, only those who like what you have for sale. That is how it goes with every product.
Take that…and run with it!
