Whatever happened to maxamps cut throat pricing?

[MetalMan]

A customer at the LHS today proceeded to ask me if we carried Maxamps... I said "No, we don't" and proceeded to bite my tongue a bit because he seemed so set on buying some Maxamps packs of capacity greater than the 5200mah we sell.

On Saturday a guy I talk with/advise a lot (he does a bunch of 1/8 conversions) brought his SH buggy into the store, and guess which battery it was holding: Maxamps 3s 8000mah... I held my tongue then too. Unfortunately I have no data (personally) to back up claims of the true inferiority of MA which is why I don't let these (:cough: ignorant :cough:) people know the truth.
