There is no point putting up three pairs of stilts that all look the same I'm pretty sure they may be dura stilts, the point I'm making and others have made is the price. They all do the same thing so dressing them up and claiming one is more superior than the others coz they are lighter and the manufacturer claims they can accommodate fat people and there is a sticker to prove it. Put a price next to each one and I will tell you which one I'm gonna get its that simple, I will be buying the cheapest set because they work the same. I know there is a difference in quality but it doesn't matter on stilts to me coz they serve their purpose and will be covered in s**t in a couple of weeks.You keep saying mine look the same as the cheap ones and are basing the quality on them. Im asking can you see the visual differences in these, quality differences. Which one would you say is the cheap pair

they spelled neighbours wrong
we've all been eating EXTRATIMEHow the f**k has a thread on new stilts reached 257 posts is beyond me.
Your making the same point nobody can tell the difference so they will buy the cheapest. If you want to make a difference in the stilt world make a set smaller than the smallest set for tall people that's all that's missing. No doubt you will sell them but your USP to me makes me smile and makes no odds to the stilts themselves because I doubt you will be getting many 19 stone plasterers through your doors.Its just to say, even @Kitchy who owns them couldn't see the difference in the products. Each one is a MT Skywalker 1.o - therefore those who have made judgement on quality based on images isn't really fair.
I know you won't buy an expensive pair and I don't expect you to, all I'm doing is offering my new range to the market.
I took your advise and others advise, which, Im grateful for and changed the price as much as I could.
Some customers care about the quality and the dressed up safety marks and specs. If I was buying a pair myself I know I would and guys who come in the shop daily would as well. I just don't think its right to judge a product on the way it looks and if you haven't tried it
I agree, functionally they all do the same thing.
I was asked to get it to 250 but got carried awayHow the f**k has a thread on new stilts reached 257 posts is beyond me.
Yup yer right I was distractedthey spelled neighbours wrong

I also doubt they will flop because your quite a savvy salesman but be cautious of what you are selling you wouldn't want to miss sell something it can give you a bad name.The way I look at it and I know others do, if your investing money in something you want to look into it before you part with your money.
If they look at the differences on the spec sheets and first hand then they can make their own decisions if the additional cost is justifiable. It seems to be will Dura and MT.
The idea of the 19st plasterer is not exactly the point. The point I refer to to is the product weighs less than others but has a greater load strength. This therefore already shows the product to be of a higher manufacturing standard. This is something I would certainly be interested if I'm standing up 1m in the air on the thing - safety first!
Time will tell and these stilts maybe a complete flop - but I have done my research and believe them to be of a very high quality and I know I have a market with them
Carry on mate I could find a benefit in any product over another product then run with it. So are they the lightest stilts in the world? Are they the strongest? Co that's what you are suggesting and also do any other stilts come with a safety test?
Hey @P1ss , how about you selling the £30 ones from China. The metal and manufacturing costs £3, shipping about £2 to the UK. You could charge £8uk to UK postage, put some stickers on as you do and still make a reasonable profit. Jobs a goodun

Facebook is a bit different to this place as you know we like to keep it real in hereIm not suggesting it John - I am saying we have a new quality product available to our range! All I did was introduce them to the forum. I also did this on 2 FB groups and the reactions were very different
I also doubt they will flop because your quite a savvy salesman but be cautious of what you are selling you wouldn't want to miss sell something it can give you a bad name.

I've never ever been told stilts arnt allowed on site and I've been on loads of sites where health n safety is stupid wat company's say stilts rnt allowed?That's the product , fact! I am sure to come up with this price there is a reason for that, no doubts. Ryan is a sales man and will act like one at the end of the day, although sometimes sounds like a corporation lawyer , but you can't be mad with him!
When I had my first dura stilts I hated them . They were so uncomfortable and after a short time I was asking my self how as a kid I did it with two fecking sticks ! The design was not good. I needed one piece of supporting metal to connect my feet with the ground, not two with a spring in between , which is absolute nonsense ! I was about to get the MT with the design I thought will work for me, but next on next site stilts were not allowed .
Me too people always saying some site there band on them never been on one in 20 years of using themI've never ever been told stilts arnt allowed on site and I've been on loads of sites where health n safety is stupid wat company's say stilts rnt allowed?
