Limited Run Batman (Frank Miller) Cowl

Why would it go down in price? I'd feel bad for all the people who supported it from the start. I rarely if ever drop prices. I think my props are worth the price.
Just wondering if this has gone down in price yet? I think tons of us would buy it if we could afford it!

Usually when a vendor lowers their prices it is because either their costs have gone down or they have a surplus of goods. I guarantee the cost of casting supplies have not gone down, and since this is an unlimited run on an item that is not the "flavor of the month," Rocketeer probably only casts the cowls as he receives orders. Considering that type of rubber goes for $100+/gallon, and he probably has to turn enough of a profit to keep making all the cool stuff we want, his prices are actually pretty reasonable.

I can't speak for him, so he may show up and tell me to shut up, but as someone who has sold this type of stuff before (albeit a lot less than Rocketeer): As a vendor it is hard hearing/knowing that not everyone who likes your work can afford it, but your prices have to remain the same for the sake of the business. Not trying to come down on you, Batfleck, just offering some perspective.
 
No problem :) I understand why someone is asking, but like you said costs have only gone up. If something happens that I wasn't busy or got a batch of rubber for 50% off sure I'd put stuff on sale. But I make new props all the time so I'm always busy. :) and like I said the stuff I make is priced reasonable if you compare. Bottom line is I'd rather make new props/cowls and keep the same price point for all the people who have supported me since the beginning.

Per JY rules, questioning ones prices is NOT allowed.

Oh my glob I want this cowl so damn badly! It looks absolutely perfect!

I would want a black one though, if you're doing a run of those... My bank account may hate you but I certainly won't haha...
