how much do you think it actually costs 3m to make those comtacs

2019-09-25 21:01:28 UTC  

$20

2019-09-25 21:01:44 UTC  

even wholesale they're $297

2019-09-25 21:02:29 UTC  

msrp is 450 kek

2019-09-25 21:02:34 UTC  

Well I just got that from the sport model pricing, because as far as circuitry goes, they're not that different

2019-09-25 21:02:49 UTC  

sports are like $60-80

2019-09-25 21:03:04 UTC  

and the biggest difference is all the comms shit which is just cheap cabling

2019-09-25 21:03:18 UTC  

Maybe I should just make my own then. Can’t be too hard. Some low pass filters and amplifiers with a plastic enclosure.

2019-09-25 21:03:28 UTC  

and they have to be making a profit so I just divided by 1/3~ 🤷🏿

2019-09-25 21:04:17 UTC  

Sell them super cheap and slap a “ Made In America” sticker on them. Will sell thousands guranteed.

2019-09-25 21:04:24 UTC  

peltor sport tacticals are $71 wholesale

2019-09-25 21:04:29 UTC  

so that's probably accurate

2019-09-25 21:05:12 UTC  

the biggest difference is that comtacs are made in the US I think

2019-09-25 21:05:19 UTC  

which probably drives the price up

2019-09-25 21:05:42 UTC  

so maybe a more realistic not-bs wholesale price is around $150

2019-09-25 21:05:52 UTC  

for peltors?

2019-09-25 21:05:54 UTC  

ye

2019-09-25 21:06:13 UTC  

wholesale for comtacs is $300 on RSR

2019-09-25 21:06:20 UTC  

This just proves my point. Slap a made in america label on it and you create instant retail value

2019-09-25 21:06:24 UTC  

unless you're asking what the distributor pays for them

2019-09-25 21:06:32 UTC  

Even though all the internals are made in china

2019-09-25 21:06:35 UTC  

yeah I know, I'm saying a realistic price

2019-09-25 21:06:41 UTC  

oh i see

2019-09-25 21:06:44 UTC  

$300 is a bs price

2019-09-25 21:06:44 UTC  

yeah lol

2019-09-25 21:06:44 UTC  

comtacs have to be made in the usa though

2019-09-25 21:06:50 UTC  

them niggas overpriced asf

2019-09-25 21:07:29 UTC  

I promise all the electronics are made in china tho

2019-09-25 21:07:31 UTC  

there's a lot of shit with insane msrp on rsr now that i think about it

2019-09-25 21:07:40 UTC  

@ottovfrankfurt thats not true

2019-09-25 21:07:52 UTC  

anything the military buys has to be made here

2019-09-25 21:08:09 UTC  

Well to what extent @CTL

2019-09-25 21:08:15 UTC  

but sometimes it isn't :^)

2019-09-25 21:08:16 UTC  

niggas out here not knowing about berry compliance

2019-09-25 21:08:21 UTC  

as long as nobody finds out

2019-09-25 21:08:34 UTC  

What US based semiconductor manufacturing plant do they use?

2019-09-25 21:08:39 UTC  

100% chinese made or just chinese assembled

2019-09-25 21:08:47 UTC  

but yeah us gov isn't going to let an adversary produce military goods for the us military

2019-09-25 21:09:00 UTC  

@ottovfrankfurt samsung and apple have factories established stateside just for making berry compliant phones for military use

2019-09-25 21:09:33 UTC  

plus there are chip manufacturers still in the US

2019-09-25 21:10:15 UTC  

@Cataclysmo I honestly did not know this. Apple has used pegatron heavily and even places like Texas Instruments outsources chip production to factories in China
