Shannon's Journal Discussion Volume 3

[Shadow2200]

If a single stage 5.5G now costs $600 dollars, I'm fairly sure I will never be able to afford a 6G multistage. What will it be, 3k, 5k?

Honestly if it actually achieves its goal than people will buy it, and pay even more for 6G. However truth is, a small sample of people are going to buy it as of now, and it’s going to take Shannon a shit ton of time until he makes good money from it. As a business person I would have sold it for $149.99 so that 300 people buy, rather than $600 where maybe 30 people will buy. But who knows maybe LTU is going to be a game changer. I do agree with you about how it seems quite expensive for only being a single stage 5.5g. If it was 6G technology that was talked about for years now, then id say go for it. But 5.5G was never as hyped up as 6g was.

If it does more than AM6, which is $500, then it may well be worth the money (if you've got it!). I won't be able to afford it though, because my landlord has decided to sell the house I'm living in and the next place I get will have much higher rent. Also, my income has fallen in the last few years. Like I said, if a 6G multistage is 3k or 5k, I'll never be able to try it. My only hope is USLM4, or maybe UMS, which I might just be able to afford.

Yeah, 115 dollars is ok for me for a one stage program, but 600 is way too much. Regardless of its value. I think most people won't buy it because of that, which is a shame.

Also, I remember years ago people were saving for months for AM6. The same will likely happen with LTU, let alone 6Gs.
So it will take a lot of time for people to afford it and for Shannon to profit from these programs.

But we'll see

Some people will have your point of view, and they won't buy it. Some people will have a different point of view. What it comes down to is, how much do you need what this program does, and how willing are you to do what it takes to get it? And, how do you perceive money? Plus, I think if you look at it, "most people" won't buy anything you offer to the public. The only thing I can think of that "most people" will buy is soap and fast food.

For some people, it would take a long time to save up $600. For some people, it's pocket change. If $600 is too much, and you want to use LTU, buy the 5G version, which is $89.95. That one is still available for exactly that reason. And if you want to use the 5.5G version enough, you'll find a way to pay for it.

But things are going to be changing for the positive in the next couple years, and we are going to see a LOT more sales than we do now - many times more, at least. It's not going to be that sales go down as my prices go up, because we will be offering more value than we ask payment for, as usual.

6G has been 6 years in development for good reason. And for those who can afford it, it will be well received. But you don't see Canon, for example, or Nikon, worrying about making their top end camera lenses inexpensive because they will sell fewer copies. They make lower end lenses to fit those price points. 5.5G and 6G are top end technologies in this field. They will have an appropriately top-end price tag. And there are plenty of other options if that is too much for you. We have 5G and 4G too. Or you can save up.

I'll pay for 6g DMSI
