The base price on our products is in USD and it never got increased on any products since their release. The difference in EUR you see is just an adjustment based on late currency conversion.

I could go on and post some literature on how the market works for products made in USD and resold in other currencies, but I'm sure this still won't change your mind.

I see that Euro is going up now. Are you going to make an adjustment and lower the Mcgu price?

Doesn't really look like it's going up though.

Hi all,

I would like to explain how we adjust the prices.

Actually, the prices are USD based. That's how we pay for every batch arriving to us and import into EU.
We never adjust our retail prices based on EUR/USD actual rate. I mean we do not try to make easy money to playing on currency rate changes. Actually, the retail price is calculated when the batch is imported. That's why some prices went up (e.g. for Gunfighter MCG Ultimate) but some are still old ones (e.g. Gunfighter KG12 / Gunfighter SCG / Gunfighter F-14). If we have some old stock, we sell with old prices (from 2021).

But for the new stock we have to raise the price. 2021 prices are based on EUR/USD rate of 1,20. We kept the old prices as long as possible but now they must be adjusted as a new rate is now 0,99. As soon as the rate is improved and we import new stock on this rate, the price will be decreased.

We always open to our customers and never try to foolish. The marge is quite thin to ensure we provide premium VKB products on affordable price. But that also mean that we have to follow exchange rate more closely.

I hope it gave some clarity on this sensible topic.

Thanks for the clarification Eduard, makes a lot of sense, and I can definitely imagine how difficult it is to try and eat the 20 something % change in exchange rates, when you have to pay in USD but are getting paid in Euros.

No, only grips. There's no stock of GF base at this time unfortunately. Working on it.

Cheers,


I have the MCGP with RU labels and the Cyrillic lettering doesn't make one bit of difference to me. I would've gone with the EN version had it been available when I ordered, but during my 6 months of ownership, I never thought "damn! I wish I had the English labels on that thing!" :D


Looking at the grip in RL (not in pics/videos) you barely even notice the labels - and you won't be looking at your grip much anyway while flying. So unless you *really* want English labels for some reason, I'd just go with what's available and/or cheaper. Although I think the last MCGP RU have been sold off now and there is one MCGU RU remaining in EU stock, soooo ... :)
