Fellow knife sharpening enthusiasts,
My name is Anton Kulizhko from Hapstone company. I would like to apologize for the inconvenience caused by our pricing interfering with MassDrop promo. The official web site Hapstone.pro is the show case of Hapstone knife sharpeners and Hapstone accessories. Our strategic goal is to sell our products through developed sales channel. Online store integrated to Hapstone.pro web site was a feature for our home region only, but is rudimentary for regions with presence of our distributors. To avoid confusion for all customers and partners, we permanently shut down feature of online store for all international customers. We encourage our end user customers to purchase from our resellers and receive decent customer support and warranty.
Hapstone requires the minimum selling price for all resellers which is 239 USD for Hapstone V6 Knife Sharpener in all regions except home region of Hapstone (Ukraine). Any promotions with lower price involved should be approved by us, and MassDrop/Gritomatic promo is approved.
For the probable question “Was I able to purchase V6 for $199 from Hapstone.pro before the drop?”, the honest answer is “Yes. We had very few orders within last 2 months, because shipping is slow and expensive, and customer support and warranty are limited, but the answer is still Yes.”
For the question “Will I be able to purchase V6 directly after the drop is finished?”, the honest answer is “No, you will not be able to purchase directly neither for $199 nor for another price, unless you are from home region. Online store shut down is permanent
I hope you excuse us for all that confusion and become our customers.
