No, they don't usually sell for $150, and never have. Don't know where you got that from.

There you'll see the actual prices they go for. Nobody bids on those 14s. If the seller wasn't happy with that price they wouldn't start it there and let it end there.
They're not the same product so it's not a good analogy. They're apples and oranges. Reyes =/= Beaulieu gloves.
The fact that something is made in Pakistan or Mexico is wholly irrelevant. Equipment's not automatically better because it's made in Japan or because it's made in the USA or Thailand or wherever. It's a better product if it's made with better craftmanship and materials and with a good design.
How can Beaulieu products be priced as highly as Mexican retailers? Well, Morales gloves Hecho En Mexico are about $80 off the top of my head. Some Solo gloves too may be even less. Clearly not all Pakistani made gloves will be below $80, or deserve to be. The point is that the country where they're made doesn't matter a lot once you actually have the end product in your hands. Did anyone here get really high hopes when Everlast announced their Made In Thailand range, for instance? I hope not.
"As a new brand they shouldn't be priced so highly when they've not been established (like the older Mexican brands which everyone knows are good)." paraphrasing. This is more a criticism of the business model if anything. If it's too expensive for someone personally to risk then fine, but if sales are good then your own financial limitation doesn't matter at all to the seller, and if enough people are happy to take the risk then why would it? Regardless, it doesn't need mentioning more than once.
A last complaint I found annoying was that there isn't a website. Some people just need to be completely spoonfed.
The criticism you want to make is that you believe you can get better quality of craftmanship and materials in a similar price range, possibly with that same depth of customisation from other brands. That's actually what's important - the product and its value, and to a lesser extent the service involved.
My own complaints would be a lack of professionalism in terms of presentation etc and the replies in this thread too, more guidance and detailed product descriptions are needed, and the pricing needs to become stable and less ambiguous. This is the biggest thing for me. I think people who should be most interested in the line are those in Europe rather than the US, too, because of low shipping costs which aren't represented by the ebay estimate (going back to poor presentation).
