fmk shouldnt be selling them for less than 299.99, paul at az doesnt want them going for under that, the reason is because it undercuts the guys who buy 100 pumps direct at a time, and they still advertise it for 299.99, so why should someone that prolly gets it from a middle mad get to sell it for cheaper, that hurts the market, i think a lot of it is going on right now and its shitty but fuck it, gotta stay competitive, maybe someone should tell fmk bout it.

sd.com has the comp for 300 but there shipping it free and including a $25 ps, a water trap and a relay. thats gonna be hard to beat because you figure shipping would be like 10 ps is 25 and water trap and relay are 20 thats like paying 255 for that compressor shipped.

I agree with ya we had lowered our prices some to try to stay in the game. Theres alot of people out here now tring to sell parts. Hell most of them have not even made their SSM accout to Platinum but they still advertise and cut everyones prices. We were just tring to compete with everyone and try to help others out. We have since put our prices to MAP. And will just offer free parts with our customers orders.

Your right Robbie, the problem is that most of these "shops" do not even have an actual location to walk into. It's a guy who got a business license and drop ships from their suppliers and really has no overhead.
Their are a few problems with internet shopping:
1.)The customer ordering online is not a loyal customer. (generally speaking) He is looking for the lowest price, because if he wasn't 99% of them would drive to their closest accessory shop and buy a Viair from there, but the internet allows "cut throats" to drop prices and not make 20-40 pts. on every part. Hell you could make 10 pts on everything and still cover your overhead, make a little money, and get a sweet hook up when you need parts for yourself.
2.)Your right Robbie, alot of these businesses will not be here next year because the people who are running them are not business people, who have though out anything. They buy from people like suicidedoors.com, lowriderdepot.com, and Mac Springs and just resale for whatever they have to compete.
(No offense to the guys from any of the suppliers listed, because you guys are just doing buisness. )

The air zenith is also fully rebuildable. Viair, not. Pumps almost twice the air. Has a warrenty that AZ will actually honor. Air Zenith good, Viair BAD!
