JD2 die sets - solid gold?

[DRM]

I know I have been out of the loop.. but when did JD2 die sets get so expensive? I could have sworn last time I looked they were like $150? First sight I check has them at over $225 :confused:

I just was quoted $315 for a 1.75 180* die

All I have is a 1.75" die set, and I;d like to add a 1.5" die set, but man... now I'm discouraged...

Cost of block of Tool Steel.....$50
Cost to grind, mill, drill, market, and distirbute.........$175

Ability to build your own tube buggy that I can beat the crap out of.....Priceless:flipoff2:

Yeah, I guess when you put it that way :p

I think they used to offer the 90 degree and 180 degree dies and now only offer the 180 degree dies so maybe you were thinking of the 90 degree prices?

JD2 will make a 90º by special order and does cost less but there is somewhat of a lead time. Let me know if you'd like a quote.:)
