Armaid = Donation to RRGCC

Ok, so I just went to the site to buy it.. Wow, it is more than I expected. Is this thing really worth $70+. I have an outpatient PT clinic and I have a climbing friend I am treating for a pretty good case of medial/lateral epicondylitis. I was going to use it on her as my test case. So, is this worth $70?

Quote from Jack Bellis, author of "It's Not Carpal Tunnel Syndrome" about Armaid.

"Now, for a lot of sufferers, $100 might as well be a million. And if you don't have $100, no amount of logic is important, but for those on the fence, let me share my thoughts on the price. Knowing something about manufacturing costs, I took one look at Armaid and was surprised it could be sold for as little as $100. It has at least 7 different types of material (injection-molded plastic, rubber, spring steel, machined aluminum, fabric, polyurethane, and nylon). Injection molding alone costs somewhere around a half-million dollars for a product of this complexity. The bottom line is, by my estimation, $100 is an extremely low price. (I'm more concerned about the opposite possibility, that the maker is not able to get enough profit out of each sale to keep making Armaid. Only time will tell.) If your only alternative is a physical therapist who charges $100 for one to three hours, it's money well spent. Don't have $100? Join a group and get a few folks to chip in for one. Not convinced it will be right for you? Take Terry up on his money-back guarantee—it's an honest offer. And tell your friends."

I can see how this can help climbers, BUT why do they not market this to cronic masterbaters??? Any testimonials from those people?

half million dollar complexity driven development cost for a spring loaded hinged rolling pin with BALZ.

bcombs... I am a wily veteran??? I think I was sending a slow pitch to anybody that wanted to hit it... But nice try!

oh yeah! Well played cognomen... I will take your reply as a personal testimonial... SO, I just ordered one!

[bcombs]

Yeah, maybe not super well played.

I'm not sure what post count people need to be a vet. Perhaps 1000?

[ynp1]

Ha! I have well over a 1000 post, BUT my other names have been banned. MT1, MT2, TCK1 and the list goes on (and I don't even remember them all) and I they have all been banned... So maybe I am a vet!

P.S. those days are behind me, and I may have deserved to be banned... In a communist country!!!!!
