Re: Marketing help/advice
This is true and what I intend to do. I've responded and answered all the negative comments here, but no one seems to want to listen - seems they'd rather just try to tell me whats so bad about the design and believe me if I thought their criticisms were valid I would immediately set about to correct the shortcomings in the design. For example they say it needs bracing otherwise it will wobble - sorry it doesn't (but they failed to pay attention when I said the end user could add some if they want) and it won't. I was planning to take a picture with 3-4 people standing on it and I will do so if that will help them understand - but i think it already too late now. No one would dare now say anything good about the design because they wouldn't be going along with the "gang" mentality here and/or would contradict themselves.
Henri Ford was probably asked what we needed that crazy, smelly, noisy contraption he came up with when the horse & buggy they had worked just fine.
Oh wow, now everyone will jump all over that comment - that's what gangs and bullies do.
Oh and please note - Butch STILL won't say what it was that originally I (supposedly)
did to piss him off. He just seems to take some sadistic pleasure in dissing me every chance he gets. Come on Lambert - fess up. Otherwise obviously, I did nothing.
Watch, he won't, because I really did nothing other than argue what I sincerely thought was a valid idea and down (very) deep he knows I was right.

You have posted your reloading bench on at least two forums over a period of at least 12 years and it does not look like many, if any, reloaders have expressed even mild excitement about your product idea. Your original post asked for marketing advice and I think you have gotten just that, the advice was not what you wanted to hear so you got defensive. If you are so sure your realization of the most magnificent reloading bench will sell in the numbers you think put your money down and do it. Put your product on the market and when you have reached the great heights of commercial success that you claim you can rub that in all of those who doubted you and your idea had great commercial merit.
