6dot Now Taking Preorders for 6dot Braille Labeler

That's a bit of a high cost for something as simple as a labeler, especially when I can get a more typical labeler for around $30, and a slate for even less than that. I could see $100, but $300? That's almost as much as a portable book player.

It sounds like a cool labler, but the price is pretty steep. Hopefully if they get a good response they'll drop the price some.

I agree. A steap price. That is for sure. But I like the fact that you can use all 6 dots and not a preset alphabet. But sure, the price is high. I usually don't label that much anyways. I usually use a slate and stylus to write something and I use some transperent tape to place it there. But I can see the uses I can put it in. But 300 dollaras. Or even 270 after the 10 percent discount, it is still high for just labels.

@Yado: Agreed. Labeling is about the only thing I use a slate for these days and I use it precisely because I can use whichever dot combinations I need to. It might not be as fancy, but it only cost me ten bucks.

I still make Braille labels using my old Label Mate labeling gun. it works just fine and didn't cost me anywhere close to $300. At that price point, I highly doubt they'll get the number of pre orders they need to actually produce the product. they could have saved themselves a lot of time and effort had they done some market research to see what people would be willing to pay for such an item.

I really do not see this as a very high price if one is using it for a group or want to use it perhaps for a business. Perhaps it will go down, but I think there is a market out there, but as many other things I see on this list, it is not for all and I've been waiting for this for a while to come out.
