3$X strikes again. NewVolt Ignition Amp

[Jeff V.]

Who wants to repost this to 3SI?


3$X is selling this "NewVolt Ignition amp". Looks like someone bought the rights to a discontinued B&M product.

$369.

The place that manufactures it has a MSRP lower than 3$X. Who even charges MSRP much less ABOVE MSRP?

$295-$325

Turns out it's used by some high end sport bikes.

A little research reveals this:

$239

I bet it could be found even cheaper with a little more work.

sounds like 3sx.

they charge above MSRP for damn near everything they sell.

[JagdStealth]

Sounds like someone else needs to offer the product up for sale

[niterydr]

Lets ramp up the stock coils, yay!

looks like the one I bought off chris for 50 bucks.

I am going to be a new worker there as soon as they see my resume so stop talking shit!

[Jeff V.]

Go work for them and watch your rep vanish overnight.

I'm not talking about pulling any mod stunts either. All of BAWC will shun you like a leper

[SAgosto]

Would I be banished?

[SteveVR4]

Thanks for the heads up.
Now I know where can purchase them at directly and save everyone money. I don't know if the bike one is the same, but if it is it would be cheaper than we pay currently, or at least I could use it on my 996

:suspect2:

[eljefefx]

Foiled.

[Jeff V.]

996 eh?

Looks like taking advantage of people is pretty profitable.

[SAgosto]

50 dyno runs in an hour = $3K.

Right

Anyways, I am serious when I thank you for the info.

We haven't sold any yet- wonder why , but we will now be able to get them less expensively and we have lowered the price to be competitive with anyone.

Market research does help set a good pricepoint. You should've asked IPO about it. He was selling these for $225 shipped back when he had his business.

Chris actually mentioned that to us when he saw them, but his old supplier no longer sold them so we couldn't get them from that source.

So then you bought from another supplier, supposedly at a drastically higher price than a quick google search could find, and then had to charge higher than MSRP? You have to make smarter decisions than that to afford a 996 in this market. Something doesn't smell right.

It's the truth. I found very little on them other than my previous supplier who said they were the exclusive distributor of them and we were never given any MSRP.
Anyways, it is a good point.

I dunno Steve, a lot of your OEM stuff is above MSRP. I recognize a slick salesman when I see him.
