Hi, guys, 

I am not sure about the economy of Russia in general but regarding my own business I can just say that I have long waiting line of those who wants to buy my guns, as well as growing up the number of the guns produced. The reason is quite simple, I decided "to stay" in Russian economy field, in ruble (Russian currency) zone. Yes, it makes me a little less profit as part of the guns are made out of Russia and I pay for them in euro, plus we need tools for CNC machines, which we pay also in euro, but all the rest of the expenditures remained in rubles and we managed to keep the price in rubles for Russian market at the same level...

So I had demand grown up dramatically as the price for air guns in Russia ran up due to the raise of the exchange rate. So, as we moved the majority of the production volume back to Russia and we still operate in the ruble zone, and the Russian currency dropped down to USD and euro I can keep the same profit in rubles selling my guns for lower price in USD. So, while that situation is like that I can offer you Matadors for 1'350 USD. If rubles goes up I will have to raise up the price in USD in the same extent as ruble will grow up, so that price is not final price, it is valid for now. As for Morana, Lelya and Veles, those who deposited for that contact Tony Rudenko and he will explain you everything regarding your orders. Hope that is good news for you :) 


With the best regards 

Ed

PS. To other world users, the price for the guns consist of the price from the factory plus dealers interest, plus taxes, so in US the third one is almost zero in comparison to EU countries for example, so don't push my dealer in other countries to keep the same level of the prices as in US or Russia, it is impossible.

Ed,

Though I don't own an Edgun, I have have tremendous respect for you and your rifles. It is rare to see an airgun manufacturer (let alone it's owner) who actively participates in discussions with their customers and enthusiasts. It's even more rare to find someone so candid and honest who always tells it the way it is. I am happy to see you here on Airgun Nation.

Cheers,
Scott

PS - I thoroughly enjoy watching you YouTube videos so keep them coming. The video where you are hunting in the snow was amazing. I don't know anyone who would go out in such freezing cold weather. You are a legend!
 
No, you were completely right. It's Edgunonomics.

Ed drops the price
More people buy Edguns
Ed makes more money and expands his business
Even more people buy Edguns at reduced prices
Edgun becomes a powerful airgun conglomerate and Ed becomes a captain of the Russian Business Revolution
Even more people buy Edguns 

It's all in the math. And the math is good.
 
Эд,

Ваш последний пост в заблуждение , как она в настоящее время читает на английском языке :

НеMatador больше не доступен за $ 1350 , так какстоимость рубля пошли вверх. На данный момент существует ни однин больше пушек . Все новые deiliveries ( вы имели в виду все новые заказы? ) Будет по новой цене ( какой цене? )

There are two ways to get EDgun.

1. Pay now for lower price and wait until the gun is coming (aproximately in June).
2. Waint until the guns are coming and pay for the price I establish in June, based on the exchange rate of ruble/USD.

In first case the client doesn't care about any further changing of the price. In the second they price can be up a lot

With the best regards

Ed
 
To clarify: Ed is saying that the currency exchange is swinging back in a direction that will create a price increase for imported Matadors. The next shipment due to arrive will be in June. If you buy now (and wait for your gun to arrive with the June shipment), you will pay $1350 US. If you buy later (after the shipment arrives), the price may very well increase. That increase is currently unknown, and will be controlled by the exchange rate.

Ed is most often on talon airgun forum. He may answer you there. He is very busy. My understanding is the Lelya barrels just arrived and so I can only imagine his work schedule since he is 4-5 months behind delivering them to customers. I would suggest questions about pricing, products and other similar concerns would probably be most quickly answered by his USA agent Tony.
