Makershed was sellin the EZ-B v3 (not ez-b v3.1) at the MSRP from October. They had purchased a lump sum and continued to sell at the same msrp price of october. Now that they are out, they will be selling at MSRP also.

We have literally no profit margin on these kits or board when you add the software development time, customer service and regular business - every penny goes back into development for more features and more sales. Our business model is like a revolving door - money in = money out = growth.

But the distributors that we have, like A Pro Hobbies, are awesome and understand our model. When ever possible, please support them. They are the early adopters of our innovative platform and therefore playing a big part in changing the future for everyone. As EZ-Community, you are also playing a HUGE role in changing the world.

It's amazing the response EZ-Robot receives in the Silicon Valley of California - people who did not know we existed - hidden away in canada. There is discussion of a relocation, if we find the right partnership/sponsorship.

If EZ-Robot lived in California, there would be a very interesting twist in Robotics from our presence.

i work for a/c and electrical company that makes the test equipment,we sell in volume and yes some products has certain max discounts,we dont use MAP pricing yet

ok great if have a good price will need a few,looking at $100 each i always check to see who has the best price with shipping when i buy any item i have close to 30 robots that need EZB bought 7 already,looking to get 2 more for now until i finish them first ,then buy more

DJ they may or may not be good news,looking to get them at a very low price like most people do,so i guess will need to wait and compare lowest price before i buy i have 7 so far

will you be selling just the chip anytime soon,be a very good seller,and have others make smaller or special boards for it,so many many companies are doing it and easy way for you to make more money too

DJ you'd love California....

I am not surprised that EZ-Robot received a warm welcome.

I strongly believe in what you are doing and would be happy to help. I do specialize in Start-ups, bookkeeping, day to day operations. I would volunteer my time to help in anyway I can. I can easily give you 20hrs a week.

Thanks for the kind words DJ, I understand it very well as I was once a new business with problems, but we go along and fix the problems, improve things, gather new ideas, implement them and so on. The first day i launch the website are full of bugs, i developed the entire website from ground up so i go long way fixing things and adding new features over past 5 years that's how it get to how it is now. That's exactly the way I see it with you and EZ-Robot. I hope everything will get sorted soon and I can see some kits on our shelf soon

wish i good make the trip to california to see DJ and SAM,but have so much trips comming up wont be able to make it stress i love the EZB board alot,look great for smaller,and may be much larger robots also looking at the LEAF MAPLE board ,not the same board use in the LEAF microcontroller its 72mhz cortex processor seems a super good board for robots specs are really good and uses arduino IDE The Maple runs at a maximum of 72 MHz, has 39 digital input/output pins, 16 analog inputs, native full speed USB, 3 USARTs (hardware serial ports), integrated SPI/I2C support and under $50 at sparkfun

@dj , sir having negative inventory is a dream come true , it means high demand , and your product value is high. Congrats CEOs of other startup companies can only.pray for such a success
