Stainless steel lip would have stopped it. After 7 years my beach brute II is still in perfect condition due to the stainless steel lip on it...
Actually the Law Of Supply And Demand says low supply and a high demand increases price, and in contrast, the greater the supply and the lower the demand, the lower the price tends to fall.
There are only a relatively few beach hunters compared to land hunters so prices reflect that.. A good beach Scoop for wet sand and or water is going to cost $200 or more, the good news is if you take care of it you can sell it years later for 75% of what you paid for it...
Wow the price is high because there is demand for a good scoop and they are selling at what the market will bear. If there was low or no demand the price would fall. Simple economics its not a matter of the more you make the cheaper they are. Yes the cost per unit should go down with quantity made but the price is hi because the demand is there for quality scoops.
Has the price of a new Excalibur gone down with as many have been sold over the years? No why because the demand is still there even with the CTX 3030 on the market. Has the unit price to manufacture the Excal gone down most certainly but the cost to the consumer is still hi because the demand is still hi..... Believe what you want..
