Hey everybody! Me again..
PGP Junkies Update.
12g changer knobs are finally here and are available! Unlike the trigger shoes, I don’t have enough room to offer an initial discount on the price. However, I am hoping that you will find it convenient to purchase your rebuild kits, cup seals and trigger shoes along with your changer knobs all in the same place!
Fees analysis
Paypal fees, and “Partner commission” fees which paypal collects, really dig into the narrow margin I am trying to work with. Going over the numbers, I actually found out that there are a few orders which actually resulted in a loss for me because of how the fees work.
I am considering moving to a CC system, but that would be a gamble that only pays off if I continue to receive regular orders. If I have a slow year, the cost for converting to CC payment method will end up being a net-negative.
As you might imagine, there’s no way to really make money with this. I am just trying to create a source for PGP players to find the parts they need and stay some small amount in the “green” financially. I am just now working on doing my taxes for 2024, and I am getting a close look at what is going on with the numbers and that is why I am making some changes for 2024.
S&H Change
I have previously charged a $5 flat rate, but shipping these packages (ground advantage so me and you can have tracking) is almost always >$5.50 and sometimes >$6. When you are working with a margin this small, that could make the difference between green and red. To correct for this, shipping is going to move to $6 starting Monday.
Future Products
I am making progress with the velocity adjusters and should have something available by March. I’ll keep you updated.
R&D Continues with the speed feed and valve tools which I hope to offer later.
