Pricing and Availability:
The Bullfrog XL is available now for €1,700.
This has been out for months lol
I think you are confusing this with the smaller one.
At 400€ it would still be expensive,,,
Do you understand the size of it? Just the metal work is something like 200 euro cost.
€1,700? LOL. Looks hugely overpriced to me.
I can understand that but if you ever open a manufacturing business things may look different to you. Maybe the factors that you consider the biggest contribution to the cost can be manufactured for “x” or “100x” depends on others that you don’t care about, but whoever design it do.
