I won''t holler Strmrdr! But, a case can be made for the amount of time anything takes to make. A 8* takes 7 to 8 times more labor to make than ideal H&A. I think one has to consider what handmade is. This also comes up with hand fabricated jewelry from different designers. A cast design is less than a handmade one and machine set less than hand set. Then there are varying degrees of talent. These all affect pricing. Over priced or just expensive to make? I do agree a person should see one and make up their own opinion.Date: 8/24/2005 7:50:19 AM

Everytime this question comes up one of the 8* dealers hollers at me because they dont like what I say.
Overpriced in my opinion.

Handmade human touch vs robotics. Pretty simple! Technology drives down prices. Cadillac, Ferrari, both get you to work in style and comfort. Build a Cadillac like a Ferrari and the cost would probably be the same. There is demand for both.
Call Richard and I'm sure he'd be happy to give you a tour!
This hits the nail on the head. It''s about personal taste. Value is a perceived judgement. Personal taste is just that. To say something is not worth it or a "rip off" is a value judgement and in a forum like this I believe it would be fair to all that it stay personal not vindictive. I think many people would feel insulted if one was to say my taste or judgement is better than theirs. Let ''s be fair and open to all brand and non-branded products.Date: 8/25/2005 12:41:59 AM
