BFMS NOW $80.00?? Booooooooo

[CT3]

, will not pay $80 for wax.

I concur.

Too bad.

[Mr. Gloss]

I own two full tubs that I purchased from PAC during the $49 sale.

Now I can tell my friends and relatives that I use an $80 wax on my cars.

[Todd@RUPES]

this.

I`m confused though .. the link provided in the first post leads me to a 7oz wax with a case for 20 dollars more than other sites selling the SAME 7oz wax for the price we were all comfortable with (without the case) .. there should, IMO, be an option of whether or not we want this case or at least a bump in size unless I`m missing something .. Todd, you mentioned an increase in size for two more thick applicators but still 7oz ?? unless the new site wrote the wrong oz, I`m not down with that at all TBH

Thanks for pointing it out. I think some of the confusion is that the description wasn`t updated, we have handled that now. The BLACKFIRE Midnight Sun Ivory Carnauba has always been in a kit forum. We changed the copy to to reflect that. When PBMG acquired BLACKFIRE we did not have the packaging to support the kit.

We have worked overtime to make sure the transition from CMA to PBMG has gone smoothly and many people have worked overtime (lots of sleepless nights). It was an over site.

When I answered questions regarding size, it was for the new wax, which doesn`t launch until mid January. The new size will increase to 7.4 ounces, the price will remain at $79.99. Additionally BLACKFIRE Midnight Sun will be available in a mini 3 oz for cost conscious waxers. You can still get a ton of applications out of it, the hardest part is getting the applicator in the jar.

Will the new batch be Batch #26 or will it still be Batch #25?

[Rocket]

Will the new batch be Batch #26 or will it still be Batch #25?

I bet it will be #26

[C. Charles Hahn]

I bet it will be #26

Why would anyone pay $80 for that? I can get #26 for $16:

Yepper, looks like the new price is $80 (with a pretty new plastic case)
Like many things in the past there are some tubs still out there for $60.
If you want BFMS get it now at the $60 price while it`s still on the shelf.
I`m sure once they are gone then there will be no more at the $60 price.

Maybe?
Just maybe when sales slump way down the price might go with it?
Just another way of looking at it.

I don`t know, people do buy Fuzion at 175 including a refill. Pretty close to the same price point over all. Still the increase is hard to swallow. I will likely just buy a sample size as I don`t use wax too often anyway. Hence the reason I am trying to dump off my last tub of batch 23.

OR you can use the forum discount and save a little coin that way

I could not see a customer willing to pay more for waxing their car, when you have to raise your prices. Collinite and Duragloss do the exact same thing and cost less. I can purchase alot of good product for $80. IMO. Many customers could care less about what goes on their vehicle. They either want shine, gloss, glass look, or durability.

Well another way to look at it is Pinnacle Souveran in 8oz. goes for $95
Blackfire Midnight Sun in 7oz was at a $60 price point that competed.

IMHO By modifying the packaging the price point was raised to close the gap.
This way two in-house products were not in direct competition with themselves.
I`m not 100% sure this is the reason but I think the "kit" box is a $$ distraction.

I heard somewhere that the same person made the formula for Souveran and BFMS.

[CEE DOG]

This is a good point. It may very well be BFMS was killing pinnacle souveran. I think you must have nailed it.

[Piku]

Bummer!

However, In do time, the new 3oz size will go on BOGO just like the Fuzion. Patience is the name of the game.

Todd, there`s nothing wrong with charging people for what goes into a product, but to raise prices on people IMO is pushing it. Why not just keep selling the regular batch at the same price and selling the better quality for more?

You know netflix right now is charging people 16 dollars for service that used to be 8. And now they are suffering because all those loyal customers are dropping their service. It`s the way business works
