I am ready to pull the trigger on my mpcnc primo hardware but before I do I thought I should see if there will be any black friday sales.
I ordered some upgrades for my printer today and 30 minutes later they announced some amazing sales…
I haven’t seen a sale at v1 ever. Sometimes the price changes, but it is always a fair deal. If it changes it is usually because Ryan has cut some costs or something costs more than it used to.

I haven’t been involved with this type thing very long but from quick trips around the internet I get the impression Ryan’s pricing is very reasonable, especially considering the expense of inventorying everything.
And I would add: I’ve been looking at Etsy where there are some interesting wall-art CNC files, some up to $30.00 or so just for the files of wooden shapes (I’m not saying that’s not reasonable, just for comparison). I think it’s a gift, considering the work that goes into designing/developing these machines that the files to make them are offered for $0.00 along with continuing support. By comparison, I was interested in an Etsy file and asked the seller if a BOM was available, it took ~ 2 weeks to receive an acknowledgement of my inquiry, more than another week later I’m still waiting for an answer about a BOM, compare that with the response time in these forums where any question is likely answered within hours.

No, no sales.
If you see “sale” in the shop it usually just means I have dropped the price meaning the supplier dropped the price.
The reason you are asking is the reason I hate sales. If I buy something and it goes on sale right after I get pretty heated. So even though I know it must be a legit business tactic, I have not and do not plan on running sales. I do my best to just keep the prices as low as possible at all times. So I am like those furniture stores with “SALE” painted on the window that is 5+years old and fading, Always on sale!!!
Think Bed bath and beyond…no one ever buys anything without a 20% off coupon. If you try to the cashier or someone in line will give you one…irritating how crazy that is to me.

Perfect! I just didn’t want to pull the trigger to find out tomorrow I could have saved. It just happened with my 3d printer upgrades.
