Post #18 (Question)
"Also, is this a limited time offer, or it's going to be part of your regular products?"
Post #23 (Your answer)
"It will be standard price, but the reason we always did pre orders in the past is that we would run out due to people only buying as soon as we said they were in stock.
so we go from having a large amount to almost nothing in a few days.
As we have dropped the price as low as poss, this is going to make keeping them in stock harder.
Of course we plan to up our production, but there are issues with that also.
Mostly time and money and in our case space.

I know from other people I have spoken to, that there has been multiple people interested in this, but were waiting to free up some funds from other endeavors. I personally did not feel rushed to purchase something at a "standard price" when I could not at the time afford to. When a business states that something is a "standard price", one could expect to be able to make the same purchase mere weeks down the road when they have the funds to support themselves doing so. I must admit I am a little upset to come back to this to see that I am required to pay above what the business considers a "standard price".

we can understand your point, everyone is looking for a deal.
And thank you for quoting our posts.
I have added one of our post below, where it states
"we hope to hold the $299.99 price, but on our end it changes a lot due to steel price."
Not that I would normaly bring it up, but our steel supplier retroactively changed the price on us, so we will make very little to nothing on the plates at $299.99 and with the LEO discount, likely we will lose money.
This we found out yesterday, so we are trying to recoup some of the money we have lost with over 80% pre sold at the lower price of $299.99
A lot of work for very little gain.
We feel that the price of $425 is very fair, the $350 everybody is very, very happy with and the $299 price... what can I say...
We are the only company to offer L4 hard armor at this price point, cheaper then the USA at $350.
If the steel price and our cost keep changing and we keep selling it at $299 we will go under.
We are looking for a new steel supplier, that can make the steel we need to our spec, as its not off the shelf standard AR500.
when this happens we may be able to hold the price firm.
That said we will not be asking people that have already paid for $8000 we have lost on this production run.
