LOL. I wish...

Perry, this information sharing thing really has to stop...
:rolleyes:

BTW I'm not sure where the animosity comes from. I've already stated your price was decent in the states. My only beef was the whole secrecy thing with the part number, and the whole "insider" atmosphere. You say you want support from the contour community, yet you give them no credit and very little respect. I am sure even with full disclosure, you would have kept the large part of the US market on the DMD. Hell, even I will pay a 20% surcharge to keep a contributing helpful member in business. And by now, you all know I'm a cheap *******...

Anyhow to me it's all about transparency and establishing trust with your customers. Part number disclosure would have gained you goodwill points, and yet the loss would have been minimal. European market was off limits, and the Canadian was precarious at best (who wants to pay double brokerage and duties?). Nobody would have touched your price in the states, and even if some had tried, they would have been chased away by some of your loyal fans.
