I posted it as a question, not a statement. I know the costs involved in bringing a product to market as in my prototype gold pans and know there are more, much more involved than most people realize but having said that, you might get a larger customer base with a lower price which will add to your testimonial base which will allow a price hike in the future. Seldom is a profit realized for a few years on any new product, especially within a market of so few customers withing a large selection of available products! Just one look on Ebay should tell that tale. Dowser products abound but where are the customers? They are created by word of mouth, sound marketing with affordable products with proven track records. Just trying to help with what I feel is sound advice and not bashing your rod in the least. Matter of fact I was hoping for some customer testimonials as will most other customers.
