| Would you guys be interested in a small little tuning company? Like how Flatface would sell Griptape, Kingpins, Bushings, Etc & put them on a safety pin.. I want to bring back the idea of 'retro, or old-school' I'd sell them for like $3-$5? Suggestions would be appreciated.  |

| Trent might dookie on this thread. But I'm not opposed to a tuning company as long as none of your products come from China or alike. If you're stoking products you buy bulk from China, don't bother. |

| Everything would guaranteed be produced in the USA. No orders of mine will come from China, but I don't see why Trent wouldn't like this idea, because he owns what, 3 companies? I'm not stealing his customers, or business. |

Like I said previously, if you would have read it correctly. "this is just an idea." I have not yet got the products, am needing ideas from others, before I actually start to put in money. |

| Not to be a debbie-downer, but it may be a waste of your time and effort. The only reason I carry tuning on my webshop is because its a cheap add on item for people buying decks. It generally does not sell well by itself. If you would like to PM me I would happily explain my point of view further. |

| My point is that it doesn't really matter if tuning is made in USA or china, as long as the quality is good.
Production (from your company's point of view) is outsourced either way. What matters is that the source isn't connected to the chinese fingerboard copy industry, cause we dont wanna support those assholes. |
