Jin Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Yes, that would be a good next step having someone else manufacture the QED. Would allow much more of his time to go towards R&D. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lacky Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 True, but QED would then have to do the same program, or partner with someone to run it. Very different business model than just retail sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Phrunt, maybe you can get on this plan so you can get yourself a ZED. But for them, I still think they'd be better off using the machine to club an animal. Anything they find is going to need to be spent on essentials, not on paying of a loan. And that comment on a meter deeper, just did not make sense to me. Personally, there is nothing worse than digging down 2 feet, and then busting up another 1 foot of caliche, just to get to a can that was buried by a bulldozer, long ago. And don't get me started an freak'n nails! Well then again, who am I kidding. I'd probably strap a small VW to my back if I thought it would get me on more gold. Scratch that last paragraph. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
