I prefere a 6 pack..
Think about this:if they are priced good I gonna buy maybe 36,if they are priced too hight maybe I buy 6 or just one pack of 3,where do you gain more and where the customer will be more satisfied?

I agree with the other 6 pack ideas but also don't want to pay SHIPPING twice on seperate orders of 3 packs.I'd rather have the 3 extras from the first order than feel the need to order three more. I'd like an optional 12 pack as well.
High dollar shipping on small orders just bugs me. My quirks...

If I HAD to pay 10 bucks/broadhead...then I'd like to buy a one-pack to try it out first.  Personally, I think costs of these things is getting ridiculous!  I like the "old style" 6-packers, that have been around awhile.   I know they work, and the prices have'nt gotten out of control yet.

I like 6 packs but I guess this depends on your marketing strategy. Are you planning to make money by volume sales or through lower sales and higher mark-up? I would love to keep shooting Grizzlies but will not pay much more than what has been their normal price. I have been very happy with a comparable head for a little less money.

Correct bevel. Dead Sharp outa the pack.

I pay $50/6pack that are both...25* bevel and so sharp outa the pack they come dipped in saw blade protective rubber to protect the edge and not kill the postman/woman (including you Killy).  :)

Some broadheads are more expensive than others, those need to be three per pack or just to costly.

I agree, and I'm not usually going to buy the more expensive BH's when the less expensive kill just as dead..

It's not a big deal, but I prefer a 6-pk. because as lpcjon said, I just do things in dozens and half dozens.

From a retailing standpoint, 3-packing is a pricing issue on more expensive heads to lower the perceived cost of the item by cutting the quantity, when usually, in reality, smaller qty packing = greater cost. Durable goods purchases are often more emotional than rational, which is why that works.

Ditto on the 6 pack for the already mentioned reasons.

I don't buy less than 6 at a time (first time for new head) because if I use one for practice, that only leaves me two. After that I buy 3 or 6, whichever it is packaged in.

I do see the validity of packaging in 3s though.  You can always buy two packs, then only one thereafter.

There's probably like 4,000 professionally manufactured broadhead design variations so far.  There will always be someone who hopes to buy success, and certainly plenty who propose to market it.  ;-)

WOW! I am very surprised with the number of folks that want a 6 pack.I did not expect it to be this decisive.I am sure glad I asked.

As I have said before there is no need to worry about a huge price increase on the Grizzly broad heads. There will be an increase. An increase in price is unavoidable. At this time it still looks like the increase will be in the area of $1 per head. I should know for sure within the next couple of weeks.

I like to buy 6 at at a time, but I understand the marketing aspect also. I guess if it was business I would go with the 3pk. If you want more....just buy more.

I do have to agree, that if I was buying a broadhead to try out I would prefer to just buy only 3 at a time.

3-pack for me.  That way if I want to use different heads I do not have the investment required of a 6-pack.

6 per pack.   I refuse to pay for the extra packaging and avoid three pack sellers for that reason.   I on the other hand would gladly pay $40 for a 6 pack of grizzlies that are ground all the way to the edge.  The time saving in final sharpening would be worth the extra cost.

How about a 6 pack at a 3 pack price.  Now that would sell!
