Thanks for bumping it back. I can't quite understand how Mim still has all of the initial 12 she got in. I think a couple sold on HMS, but they were priced slightly lower so that might explain it?
Are people simply not interested in the Thailand built ones? I absolutely adore my Opio from them, and if I didn't already have a Pop's made Pineapple Sunday I would have immediately jumped on one of these. Heck, I am *still* considering it, as I prefer a concert scale. (But I doubt I can convince the wife that I need *another* Pineapple Sunday...)
Yeah, it is an unfortunate and quite frustrating situation for me. They were not supposed to be priced that low. And I was shocked none were selling, and I could not figure out why, until I did a little googling and realized there was a store out there offering a "special" at $100 less than the company set price. Like a good soldier I offered them for what I was supposed to offer them for, because I normally am a staunch rule follower... and therefore none sold. So, finally after none of them moving for a month and a half, despite them being a new model, I dropped my price lower because I can not sit on that much inventory just on the principle that I will follow the rules. If nothing is done about other's blatantly ignoring the brand's wishes, then at some point, I have to fight fire with fire. I have done the "good little dealer" thing in years past and my business, therefore my family, has suffered from the drop in sales.
I will set them up and ship them out same or next day (except the weekend obviously) with a free Oasis humidifier. And my set-ups are meticulous. So I hope I will see them finally starting to move as a result.
