Another Importer of Raptor Compressor
Good find Jamie! $1000 plus shipping makes this more viable. They appear identical but w/o the Raptor name and packaging on them and an $800 markup. It appears he gets up to the 20 min factory order and then orders them direct. AOA won’t be able to get a monopoly from China.

I’m interested. I mostly stay on the porch here and watch the big dogs play. Gotta learn somehow.
I’ve been wanting to free myself from the 45 minute round trip and 15 buck charge to fill my tank.
Appreciate your entrepreneurial spirit Dman.
Oh boy! Can’t wait for this new and vastly superior compressor.
Hear! hear! If you get some checked out and ready to ship, I’d be interested. You’re tired of getting scalped and I’m tired of hand pumping by necessity. It’s not a problem topping off the guns, but starting with an empty tank…ugh!
AOA is getting them directly from the maker. more than likely a better deal than i was quoted by a supplier. (hence no middle man)
Obviously its not true. Todd travis has been selling them in the states for a while now. The one AOA carries is the higher fill rate one with a fancy wrapper.
Im willing to bet they are making $1k a unit. The manufacture may hold them the distributor as far as directly from them . but they don’t control who everyone else sells to.
It won’t be long till these flood the market and AOA won’t be able to sell at the profit margin. Either i will be selling them or someone will beat me to it. either way I’m sick of being scalped :angrymob:
It’ll take me a few months to save up, but I’m 100% on board with this. I’ve never liked the shoebox and couldn’t bring myself to pay that mich for the f8. This looks like a great deal at the new price.
I see AOA is claiming now they are the exclusive importer on Raptors. That sux if it is true.
“Is sold in Taiwan, but did not set up a website sales. Has now evolved to the third generation, the pressure can be set automatically shut down, 220V voltage, dual-cylinder pressure!
If you want to buy may have to bear the shipping costs.”
Is it made in Taiwan?
Expected End the Chinese New Year, it will cooperate with the European looking for sales representatives in the United States.
Translation from Chinese…

In Taiwan, there is a such a cheer machines, from 2000psi to 4000psi only takes about 10 minutes. Price is about 1300 dollars!
在台灣是有販售的，但是並沒有設立網站銷售。目前已經進化到第三代，能夠設定壓力自動停機，220V電壓，雙汽缸加壓！
如果要購買可能要自行承擔航運費用。
I don’t shoot to often but for $1000 I might pull the trigger! No more driving to sport chalet :butkick: ……air freedom! :8:
English only. Is it sold on a web site?

在台灣有一部這樣的打氣機，從2000psi到4000psi只需要10分鐘左右。售價大約是1500美金！
I was referring to how much faster the Raptors are than the F8. That’s really significant.
Im still working on what the final cost are. Im thinking that they will be around $1000, and 1200 perspectively to the customer. but that could change I’m still working on it so. I can’t C shipping costing more than the actual unit. but this is new to me so I’m learning. Still waiting to hear back
