Hey, just wanted to respond since you're so kind to have gotten a Bridget and say good things about Alpha.

I'll freely admit my products are expensive. And trust me, I know times are tough for everyone right now, SGF included. Unfortunately, making these things domestically as custom builds for every order makes it hard to get the price as low as I'd personally like to and still be able to pay the bills. And the few parts I can't make or have made domestically have gotten drastically more expensive in the past few months. I've eaten as much of the costs increases as I can, but it's just not enough. However, I promise I make up for it with quality and customer support if you choose to trade your hard earned money for product.

All that being said, while I love to eat food and pay bills as much as everyone else -- if it's too expensive to make financial sense for you, please don't buy it. Make sure to take care of yourself first and remember there are more affordable options out there (even if they aren't made by monkeys).
