[TenTec] TT Mega Sale

Thu Jul 3 23:49:08 EDT 2014

The Eagle is now in the TS590 price area and they are comparable.  Moving inventory is not that costly. From experience you reduce raw material and increase finished goods in anticipation of the move.  Except for bulky parts like PCBs and chassis, 100K of parts now days almost fits in your pocket

There is more to this then meets the eye

>> Really? They seem in line with all the other new equipment on the market. I've never thought TT's prices out of line and certainly not "way overpriced." Mind! I'm not defending TT because I'm a die-hard "TT can do no wrong" sort. I think this is simply an unfair criticism.

This kind of sale is a FIRST for Ten Tec,   and obviously may signify more than just a sale,  perhaps something new is about to appear,  or will come our way by the end of this year.

Knocking a grand off the Omni VII. 800 off the eagle and 300 off a Agro. I wish I was in the market for a new rig. Kinda scary though and makes me wonder about the future. Seems like a 'fire' sale. Just sayin.......Shoots the heck out of the used market for those trying to sell eagles and omni's.
