I hear "price point" bandied about everywhere. What is the difference between "price point" and "price?" Or, is "price point" just a way to sound in the know? No offense intended.

It's a way for us cool kids to make you outsiders feel more awkward and worse about yourselves.

Thanks TAM. Figured as much. It was one of my words/phrases I had in my "insider" vocabulary along with ROI, Let me be clear, at the end of the day, outside the box, etc.

You sound like you could benefit from my Mission Statement Generator.

$700 could better be spent on a new gun

Just one small problem - it's small enough and attractive enough to be stolen for what it looks like during a burglary with the inside bonus discovered later.

Even if bolted to the floor its shape would likely provide sufficient leverage to break it free, even if your wife let you drill holes through the living room carpet. Uh-huh.

I just meant it that they could lower the range of the pice by getting rid of the useless speakers , not trying to sound like know anything. It may come from working sales long long ago

For that kind of money, I would first have to see one in person.

Apropos of nothing on-Topic, but bears a repeat for the chuckle factor if you've ever bootstrapped a company or been a business consultant. Just sayin'...

Their overall limited functionality, oddball appearance, and very high cost, spell low sales.

My immediate thinking is they won't sell well enough to stay in business.

I'd be very interested in something like this. But there is no way I would give a company I know nothing about several hundred dollars on a "pre-order". Let's see if they stay in business long enough to actually start production, then I may bite.

I think the main benefit here is for those of us who have SO's that veto the look of a "gun safe" in the actual house, so we need to keep our long guns in a difficult to access place. If this allows us to move a long gun into the bedroom or living room, that is a huge benefit, IMHO. If I'm worried about someone stealing the thing in a burglary, then I can always move my AR to the main gun safe before I leave the house.

Now I understand where so many of those mission statements I see come from.

• It is our business to dramatically facilitate high-quality initiatives and continue to globally initiate state of the art action items and also efficiently create just in time infrastructures to stay competitive in tomorrow's world.

• Our mission is to proactively empower scalable metrics as well as to interactively parallel task economically sound results through continuous improvement.

• It is our mission to completely disseminate functionalized strategic theme areas in order that we may continually integrate installed base opportunities with zero defects.

I can do this all day long.
