          Just in case anyone doubts things. Attached is an invoice from Castle. Its what dealers were paying, including myself. I hate looking like we were screwing people. And thats the feeling that I'm getting from pm's from a couple of guys. Not that I'm at all upset with the public. Its understandable. But Castle blindsided us with this.

            That really sucks Steve.

            I saw the sale this AM, when I was looking up specs on the 1717. I didn't post it out of respect but figured it would come up eventually. I wasn't sure how many they had on closeout, stock or what they were doing with their dealers.

            Hopefully they will work out a dealer credit.

              My head is ready to blow. I'm also done with this topic for a while. Time to go to coach my sons football practice. Consider the jackets gone until I get back. JMS, Rum and GP get a 1717 jacket each. Its going to have to be separate than ose sales. Send me your order number by pm and I will send paypal instructions.

                    Email Castle. I did. I want to see you guys get great deals. But cutting dealers legs off isnt right.

                      I agree with you. I would like to see if they are having problems with them or something that would justify giving them away.

                        I talked with them on the phone... said they moved to an all new facility and wanted to push out old inventory.... I bought a 1512,1518,1520,1717.

                          One optimistic view on this is that there will be quite a few 1717's out in the field now and the demand for OSE cooling jackets just hit the roof.

                          JMSCARD- did they say how much stock they have left? How long they are going to be on clearance?

                              This is a quote from Patrick, owner of CC, about the sale:
                              This sale is on some of the motors that we have brought into stock, but haven't pushed a lot on the sales.

                              For example -- we have several hundred 1717s, 1518 and 1520 motors -- because they are not part of a "standard" combo, and they don't go through distribution, we don't sell a lot of these.

                              We are trying to reduce our inventory on these motors -- so we are going to "blow them out" at great prices.

                              Watch the website for more info -- coming soon.

                              Patrick

                              While we were extremely excited to hear this, we had no clue the prices would be this low. Even then, it was suggested that these motors be offered to the CC dealers like Steven and Mike at RC-M so they weren't undercut and they could reap some benefits as well.


                              These are some great motors and this is great deal for the consumer, however, its a dealers nightmare...

                                You got money for 1717 Steve. I'd rather buy from you, not that I have anything against CC but if your matching their prices its a no brainer. Only thing is I screwed up. Didnt order a coupler before I checked out. Anyways, you jus sold one 1717.
