Has anyone else noticed that prices went up $5 for each tier on the SF website? Not a HUGE deal but it's curious.

THE FOLLOWING TEXT WAS ADDED BY THE OWNER PHILLIP

I increased warrior, champion, and hero upgrade prices by 5.00 for two reasons.

First I wanted to pay my guys 5.00 more per build and did not have any room in my thin margins.

Second, I have not raised prices on my upgrades in 3 years, despite the fact that due to inflation the dollar is worth less than it was in 2012, and as a result my components cost more.

So consider this our annual cost of living inflation increase, but take solace in the fact that every penny is going to the techs who build your sabers, and believe me they deserve it.


If you don't like inflation (a hidden tax on everyone who uses dollars), pressure your representatives for a return to the gold standard and the end of the unconstitutional privately owned federal reserve.

Yeah, no big deal, but every dollar counts these days!

If the increase is for quick connects would you save the money by not getting the QC? Or is it to early to tell that?

I noticed but all things considered, that's not a bad increase.

Orion, there is no price increase for quick connects. SF will include them if you ask for them at no additional cost.

If $5 more means we keep getting beautiful new blades like the Juggernaut, Silver Knight, etx, and Phil / Justin / Et al keep a roof over their heads? I'm fine with it.

No. Coupon codes can be used multiple times as long as they aren't expired.

I don't really care why the price went up. If they're charging more, they can feel free to do so. It's their business and it's up to me whether I want to pay it. But all the time I see people saying "hire new employees!" more saber techs and customer service reps. Make my saber faster, answer me questions faster, make hilt review videos, etc etc etc. You know what? New employees have to get paid. So everyone that wants to complain about this unbelievably insignificant price increase will be getting laughs from me.

  • The Jedi and the Sith are both a lie. The force is both, life and death. Good and evil. Black and white. May the forces be with us.

I will take the small price increase, I think it will lead to better sabers. Also more importantly to the sabers getting sent out quicker. Instead of waiting for a long time ago... in a galaxy far away. :evil:
