I did not think about the patent, I thought about how to build the models, do not really think about making money on it. Many stores tell me they will not buy mine because they have a very cheap other manufacturer, I am asking how is it possible to have a $ 60 -70 bend in the store? This is not cheap. Yes, but we buy for $ 20 - $ 25. The whole mystery.

For such amounts of shops buy other types of folding machines, not mine my expensive unfortunately. And you will find a 20 cm long bend for $ 30 at the store?

Hi rafal I've just been reading your thread and I'm sorry to say that it isn't a mystery you simply cannot compete with the companies who are already producing the bending machines
They have the milling machines on site and are turning out hundreds of these tools a week.
They buy there material in bulk so they pay less.
That means they can sell there product cheaper to retailers who then add their mark up price.
 
With the price rafal gave me once delivery costs and vat is added it would have a uk retail of just over £100, the dearest one I sell from the small shop is £75 and the small Shop ones are anodised so should last a lifetime.

Yes you are right, you can not compete with them price, I can only functionality, design, colors and experience in building models with my bends.

Hello, unfortunately I did not find a modeling shop that would like to order bending machines. Thank you all for the comments, I wish you many successful models and I will probably make a difference as I will be building the third version. Best wishes.

And yet I have found a distributor who can send abroad.

The price there is £53.11. What price did you give to John if it was going to be over £100??!

If the price is too high because I still have a defect, scald on the paint, or with scratches to the shop do not fit, so you would be interested to let it know.

£45+£22 delivery, once I add the VAT if I didn’t make any profit it would be £71.40.

I hope your sales go well but your not using the forum to promote it.
