Why is the price of new tonearms so high

Raul, I applaude people that try to realize a vision!
Getting things finished, IMHO, takes calculated/projected time times 3.
So hopefully your arm will be out soon and I get to hear it. My analog voyage has just begun and I have yet to hear anything that can approach the rest of my system. So regards and enjoy life:-)

Dear Raul, sorry - my mistake - so far I mistook the situation. I always thought the ideas behind the tonearm project were yours, now I realize, that you are the one of your team responsible for public relations.
Now that makes sense.
I do no longer have to wonder about several of your sonic descriptions and technical statements.
My apologize for getting this wrong in the begining - I thought you were into design and technical aspects too, now I know that is not the case.
Cheers,
D.

Dear Dertonarm: Not really, we are two design teams: José and I for some design items and Guillermo and I for other audio devices.

Well you are your own marketing/advertiser manager at least with the FR tonearms that is your main target and commercial bussiness through Agon.

Regards and enjoy the music,
Raul.

Dear Raul, sure - I have 2001 NOS samples of FR-66s on stock and am just waiting for the day their used-market price meets the US$10.000.- mark.
In the meantime I restrict myself to sell off only 4-5 units each month through Audiogon.
How did you know - god man! - you are so clever I can hardly believe it!
Cheers,
D.

Dear Dertonarm: Well there is no doubt that you " fight " and promote in ( just from your very first ever Agon post, ) almost any single Agon thread that FR tonearms trying ( at least ) that its price does not go down against your commercial bussiness and like you say almost everyone knows that: " even me ", of course that through your posts you are trying that the price goes up.

I'm not against your commercial bussiness due that the Agon " moderators " are the only ones that decide about but don't try ( like always ) to distract the attention to a different " road " that your main target: to sale those FR tonearms, making use of the people non know-how.

Regards and enjoy the music,
Raul.
