i have a high opinion of Infinity. I’ve shot three different ones over the years from friends. Their guns are of extraordinary quality. They are even a good value in that a chambers or charyn will end up more expensive and be less visually attractive. However, I’ve lost interest in owning one.
It started with several failed attempts to purchase a drop. One time I clicked one second after but then had to enter two captchas to verify myself. By the time I had it was no longer open. Rather than making 20, 50, or even 100 available they make 10 and it’s almost impossible to buy. On one hand, that’s a “too bad so sad” type of thing where others have succeeded where I’ve failed. However, therein lies a deeper problem.
First, with 40-50 drops a year, and such limited quantities available, many buyers end up bidding on guns that they aren’t actually that excited about - but hope they can obtain. If I order a venom or a chambers I’ll order the gun I really want. Not a gun that fits 90 percent of what I want. It’s such a strange business model to have models change daily.
That’s the other problem. They are trying to build collectors items/works of art but only 3-5 of these yearly drops will be truly unique (Calvin’s cherry, Zooties) where years later people might still be thinking about them unless they did a 2.0 version by then.
Like I said at the beginning, infinity is a 10/10 for quality as far as I’m concerned. But has anyone else lost interest in purchasing one after trying to deal with their business model? Will it ever change?
