Sorry for the hijack bad_idea. I thought maybe this was somewhat black friday related.. (madcow has info on their site that black friday sales start @7am pacific time on the 24th) Madcow Black Friday info..

A quick question, I have noticed the prices go up recently on two rockets id like to buy but they have not been available for months. Maybe longer.. the madcow 2.6"nike smoke showed $145 last week and is now $160 and the wildman carbon fiber mini mach shows $134 and I swear it was $109 a week ago.. does this mean they will be avalible to purchase soon?. most likely black friday?? Or maybe it was just a price increase for all of their kits available not

Thanks for the link to Madcow's sale. No idea regarding your questions, sorry.

Oops just noticed you already had wildman.. how do you delete posts??

No worries at all. I appreciate your lending a hand.

 

[ecargmij]

I reached out to Mach 1 and they are still hammering out a few small details but they are planning to have a black Friday sale.. they mentioned they'd send emails as well as post on facebook..

 

[jmasterj]

Madcow's prices definitely just went up in the past couple days. I checked the 4" Seawolf a couple days ago and it's more today, by $10ish.

Im guessing across the board and maybe more than just the kits..wildman is the same

 

[jmasterj]

I haven't checked Wildman's kit prices in a while, but they feel more expensive than when I last looked.

As retailers get new inventory to stock up for the sales, you'll likely see prices increase since the new stock likely had increased.

I completely understand but some still say not in stock and still had a price increase.. thats where I was a little confused..

My guess is that they may be leaving it as OOS, but had gotten the new higher priced stuff in and are preparing it for the bf sales.

In the case of WM and some others taking pre-orders, it makes sense that it's still OOS, but the new order price went up.

A few may be raising prices before their sales, but I think most cases it's just the adjustment for the inflation we've seen across almost everything.

40% off 3' and 4" Avalanche XL and 3" Fiberglass Mongoose R2.
Email says that it started yesterday but they didn't tell anybody.
I think somebody forgot to send out the email.

​ ​ Black Friday Door Buster - Avalanche XL and Mongoose are 40% off!​ Gary, I've got a secret to share with you. We started our second Black Friday Door Buster Deal yesterday but didn't tell anyone about it. I guess we were trying to keep it a secret. But now I'm letting you in on the secret. The sale is already on and there are savings of 40$% to be had! We've got our 3" and 4" Fiberglass Avalanche XLs and our 3" Fiberglass Mongoose R2 all on sale at 40% off. The supply is limited and won't last too long so get them while you can. When the inventory reaches 0, the sale on that item is over. Like year's past, the Black Friday Door Buster sale ends with the end of the Black Friday sale. But don't wait! Thank you for being one of our special customers - we appreciate your loyalty to Madcow Rocketry. - The Madcow Rocketry Team PS: If any one asks, you didn't hear about this from me. ​ More Information​

I ordered one of each last night. I believe they only had 3 of each at that time.

Edit to add, just checked... You can only order up to 3, so I have no idea how many they have left.

I understood the price increase, I was just hoping that meant the kits that have been out of stock for a while were going to be available for purchase was all.. they show the price increase as well..

I posted asking if the $95 shipping charge for one CTI reload was real. Maybe they want to try again later?

I just received a large order from them. They refunded $60 on my shipping charge.
Their shipping calculator overcharges, but they refund the difference.
