I see the Quantum Bender coin-bending device, which retails for over $500.00 US, has been dropped from JHeff's mentalism products catalog due to quality control issues ("defects," as per JHeff.)
At the same time, in recent weeks I recall reading several messages at the Café as well as online advertisements elsewhere for what appear to be much less-pricey new alternatives to the QB. Anyone familiar with these newer coin benders? If so, any opinions on them?

That sounds strange.
I have used mine continiously since I got it, and have never detected any defects. The new bender you have read about is not on the market, has not been advertised and not even properly been described. I don't know, but I would not be suprised if this shows to be a rip off. Sven

I dropped it from my catalog for a number of reasons. There have been some QBs that have been defective and, due to the price (which means I must insure it), returns tend to get costly. Also, for that price, there should be some type of quality control.
I still stand by my opinion that this product, if you get one that works, is a good one. And I hope that these manufacturing problems are solved. Until that time, being one guy who doesn't really make his living selling this stuff (it's merely a service), I'd rather not take the risk selling it. Sven, I'm glad you got one that works for you. -- Jheff

I stand behind the quality, & craftsmanship of the "Quantum Bender". If it is an authentic Q.B. & is defective, I will gladly repair it at no cost. P.S.- I only have a handful left & then they won't be available anymore, it was a limited production.
