Saw that one coming...

90/50 or 90/75 Is it hehatemefrisbee's shop?

Dude, that's digital, not pearl mustang. Ugh...didn't know they had digital. Oh well.

They won't. It'll be a limited edition run, nothing more.

You'll prob have to drop down to 90/75 in the winter.

Yes, the machine includes the Spinner dress system.

Haha strive to be #1!

I finally got to talk to my figure skating test pilot today - She has been on it for 2 wks. She normally skates on a 7/16" ROH. I put her on 100/50. She is experiencing a bit more glide however feels like she needs just a little bit more edge. One thing that she did say that she was very impressed by was that she is able to get more speed on her spins, a direct result of not being as deep in the ice. I know that Blackstone will have a 105 or 115 FBV hollow soon, so it will help with glide issues as the blade is thicker. Depending on where we end up I am hoping to land Canada's reigning champion - he is training for Vancouver 2010 here in Orlando.

Yeah, understandable, as there's more paperwork to be done tax-wise especially if you don't have an online presence. In my store, we had it built in to handle out of state orders, so I don't blame you at all, Peter.

If the customer is calling in the order from out of state, he doesn't have to charge sales tax as he will be shipping it to them. If you are physically in his store, then he does.

Judging by the way you handle a keyboard, I think it would be a horrible idea for you to use machinery.

Well, if you had a Stealth (or a Liberty/Turbo with Spinner) from the beginning, there's nothing more to do than to buy the FBV Spinners. If not, you either had to a) buy a new machine with a Spinner, B) buy a new bowl and a Spinner system and modify your existing Blackstone (which involves cutting out space in your hood), c) buy a portable or d) buy the new standalone Spinner dresser. Basically, there's an investment involved, and it takes quite a while at $5 and up to pay off your initial investment.

I mean, the FBV Spinners are $35 more than conventional Spinners. At this point in your case, you can't raise the price.

Well, it's like an oil change. Putting standard 10W-30 as opposed to say, Mobil1. Same work, you're paying more for the better oil.

Well, you guys already had the setup already, all you had to do was buy the FBV Spinners. Some stores had to buy new machines or alter their existing machines to do this. Other than that, if there is an advantage, why not charge more?

Batgage comes with the accessory kit, not the machine.

You will see a different color in the hollow...that tells you it is done. Why devalue a premium service?
