Tough room USA made products will always cost more due to the cost of American labor. Quality should also be better. I fail to see the point of calling out any company for a price point. I’d rather see a review of a product purchased at a lower cost and its durability compared to another product also owned. SSS exists to work on scoots which is a niche market and will typically carry a premium. I agree but doubt their tool is usa made either. its identical. my reasoning being they would say so if it was. |

Now they are trying to get rich off selling china crap! FUCK SCOOTER SWAP SHOP! Its a balance, it depends on what your looking for, if you are looking for specific rare stuff, like my arrow. SSS is the only way to go. but alot of other things is like 10-20% more expensive than other places |

Buy whatever you wish on ebay, understand the world is flooded with knock off chinese junk, our pullers are buzzetti. If you don't run a business, with employees, and a building you really have no room to speak on pricing. Does that ebay seller spend 100K a year on free tutorials on youtube, and do they have someone on the other end ready to pick up the phone if you have questions? no. How exactly do you think we pay for the $20K worth of bikes we GIVE AWAY, and 100K a year in labor helping people out for free on youtube etc? THe issue is people don't own businesses, therefore they don't know what it costs. Buy it from someone who's DROP SHIPPING it, they have zero overhead if they make ten dollars great. Buy it from someone who has 10 employees, rent, pays taxes, its going to be far more. THis is basic logic on pricing. At the end of the day my concern isn't lowest price, we put work up front to help people, give away bikes, and offer tons of free media for the community.

I cant realistically give an opinion on Scooterswap shops prices or customer service, as i live in the U.K and buying from the States isnt an option for me. Also living where I do im perfectly placed for ordering pretty much anything I need, if its not available here, which it usually is, Germany and the rest of Europe is only a couple of hundred miles or so away from me and delivery prices are quite reasonable... Brexit? ... what Brexit?  But i do enjoy Scooter swap shops you tube channel and face book content. Infact just a few weeks ago i was wrestling with refitting my kick start spring, and thought theres got to be an easier way than this. So i had a look on youtube and found one of Scooter swap shops tutorials with a handy little hack, and i had the dreaded spring fitted in no time. I would of gladly paid a couple of quid to learn that free hack i thought... |

When I watch those YouTube feeds, I feel like I'm in a high school again.

20+ years ago I used to order supermarket door sensors from Cincinnati microwave to trigger "tricks" in an amusement park dark ride. They put a jolly rancher candy in every box LOL! |
