the watchman Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 (edited) Trying to keep a baja in a straight line for me is all part of the bashing fun, i found the losi to be a super tough truck but defo a racer not a basher, love the look and size and ease maintenence of the losi, but the baja imo beats the losi in terms of grin factor every time.

John_RCModelz Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Hi Guys This is the fat guy who stands on roll cages to see the strength. We have not gave a price on the X2 because we don't know all the costs until we have it in the shop, If we knew cost beforehand don't you think we would tell everyone giving you guys time to get the money together that way we could have them going out the door as soon as they come in, As soon as it lands (we are told thursday) we can work out the price and get it on the site but 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noj Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I don't understand how an outlet importing a product (bought at a set price) with known import costs is unable to price said item before receiving it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corbs10 Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I don't understand how an outlet importing a product (bought at a set price) with known import costs is unable to price said item before receiving it? see what other places are selling there's for and see how much mark up they can get Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the watchman Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I dont think anywhere else in the uk will be selling them, as far as i know there is only rcmodelz sells km. In my buisness the first thing i look at is the mark up price to see if its viable to sell, buying any product in and not knowing what you can sell it for imo is a big no no, if its to expensive it will not sell, its as simple as that really, what ever that product is. In the case of this km x2 i honestly think anything over 600 and its to close to a losi price wise, the losi is superb quality and everyone knows this, dont get me wrong km's are very good for money but there not losi quality. Take the hpi baja v km baja, a hpi is the thick end of 700 so pricing a km at 350 its half the price, thats why its sold in big quantaties, a losi 5ive can be had for 900, so going off the baja theory the km x2 needs to be under 500 imo to make it sell as well as the baja, kinda a half price theory if you like, if you get what im saying, if a copy is 3/4 the price of a genuine losi at just under 700 i for one would sooner add a extra 200 and buy a losi, but at half price or under makes it a much more tempting prospect. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the watchman Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 At that price they should sell out on day one Isn't that what you want ?? To sell like hot cakes price them right and im sure they will sell. With regards to shiping, you have been importing baja's now for some time, surely you can do the math as to what the weight=cost is?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know close but when we know exactly how much we can get the price as fair as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feedtheinferno Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 (edited) Well let's make this simple then. Give us your estimated cost based on what your markup is + the purchase cost of them + a rough estimate of shipping based on what you have purchased off the suppliers in the past. Considering all you do really is sell KM stuff, surely you should know roughly the cost price of delivery? The car's are similar size and I am sure the quantity you have purchased isn't too drastic to what you done with the baja's in the past.

Popular Post Carpmart Posted December 3, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted December 3, 2014 If I were selling these, I would look at all factors in play and set a price accordingly, not just look to optimize my profit in the short term. There is clearly good potential demand for this product. This is a blue ocean market your addressing (the gap between Losi full price and a KM Baja), not a displacement of an existing market. As such, RC Modelz should capitalise on this demand (just look at this thread), sell the stock they have coming, get all the positive feedback that a good product at a good price point will get and the smash the market. It really can't be that difficult to set a price...... ???? If you need to tweak the price later, then so be it, but come on, seize the moment! If you don't grab the market quickly, I'll buy a couple of containers of these and jump on the opportunity myself... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feedtheinferno Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Sorry there is no snark intended, Im sorry if it came over as such. One question I do have, do you guys plan on having different levels of modification like you do the baja range? Or for now is it just going to be one price point all at a certain spec?
