Why buy Kamui Cue Tips when you can buy Morakami Cue Tips for so much less. Read all about it here.

Kamui Cue Tips are priced with MAP or Minimum Advertised Pricing which screws the consumer into paying an inflated price and not a free marketplace price. It voids out competition!

They want to charge you more money and fix prices against the American consumer. Only morons pay full retail so vote them out and don't buy Kamui tips because they are greedy, money hungry and don't support a free American marketplace. They want to fix prices against a free marketplace with the cooperation of dealers who put money over principal. These same dealers allow foreign products to dictate pricing in a free American marketplace. It's just not right.

Kamui Cue Tips = Price restraints, fixed pricing, Kamui Police and money laundering?

Kamui Tip UPDATE

Here's the Kamui wholesale pricing direct from Kamui. Distributors (like Bertone) are getting them for less. If you're paying more, we're willing to wager that you are, then you're getting screwed. No surprise there.

8,The price of KAMUI tips. The price of KAMUI tips are 700 yen ($8.41) for each piece and 750 yen ($9.02) for each piece for KAMUI BLACK, no volume discount is available. The distributor shall bear the all expense such as the freight and bank commission on the transaction.

And here's a couple unsolicited email....

I was reading your article re Kamui price fixing.

I just read your section on Kamui tips and I wanted to thank you for your well thought out and rational argument. Although I do not have a need for your services or product at this time, if in the future should I need them I would not hesitate to call you. It is nice to know that even in today’s day and age that there are still people who put principle and integrity above the all mighty dollar. I have used Moori tips exclusively for the last 10 years without issue but was wanting to try a Kamui until I read your assessment. Thanks again for solidifying the Constitution with a single man’s opinion……freedom of speech.... free market.... freedom of choice all equal a free USA.

I was at a VNEA tournament in Edmonton Alt a couple of weeks ago. Grace Nakamura who is the Kamui, Canadian Eastern distributor was going to be there vending. I mailed her and asked for her to bring me a handful of assorted Kamuis. When I ran into her, the story I got was exactly as you said. The serial numbers are not on there for quality control purposes. They are on there for the specific reason to keep the tips in one area. If anyone gets caught underselling, they can track the distribiutor down, simple as that. Of course, you already knew that.

As far as John Bertone is concerned, I wouldn't 'P' on him if he was on fire. I got ahold of him to inquire as to become a Canadian distributor. Apparently there already is a distributor one province away from me so that was out of the question, although he did tell me that he would have the distributor (Joel) get ahold of me. Apparently, Joel was told to sell me tips for the same price as as distibutor gets. When Joel sent me the prices, they were, $11.50 for the brown and $13.50 for the blacks.

I got back to John and mentioned that I seriously doubted that those prices were actual distributor prices that I was offered. I asked him why would I pay those prices when I can get a Moori for $9 and pass the saving onto my customers. He said I should be charging $50 to $55 per install for a Kamui to make up for it. I said there isn't a player in my city that would pay $50 for a tip and why would I absorb a $4.50 loss on a tip when I can install a Moori for $35 or $40. I told him that instead of pushing Kamuis, which I am quite capable of putting a Kamui on every players cue in my city, instead all the players will be using either a Moori or a Tiger product.

I've read his inarticualte posts on AZ defending Kamui tips and the guy is absolutely shooting himself in the foot. Not a good business man by any means.
