[QUOTE="luvcatchingbass, post: 437997, member: 1979"] (In the industry I work in) Unfortunately technology doesn't really get cheaper typically unless there is a major upgrade but companies tend to make little improvements and keep the price up, sometimes new designs or certain improvement jumps are made due to manufacturing or part availability from the outsourced company. Now if you want to trade in then your equipment is next to worthless, how many have ever seen trade in programs for their technology for their boats or trade up deals on a Vexilar. Apparently the FLX-30 problems and complaints I have are fixed in the FLX-35 from what the Vex Rep at Scheels Ice Fest told me, I asked about doing a trade up deal and I would go get mine and be back, nope no dice but I could get another FLX-30 for like $200-300 off. Technology dealers/salesmen are like crack dealers, get someone hooked on your product and try to keep them just happy enough and they will eventually keep coming back. [USER=395]@johnr[/USER], maybe you and I could start a Go-Fund-Me or some sort of Poor B@st@rds Fund for Technology. It would be for fish research and teaching underprivileged blue collar folks how to use technology in everyday fishing scenarios. [/QUOTE]
