Revo Stock

Russel, I hate to break it to you, but many companies/entities/people/countries do this. This little thing called "economics". If there is supply above demand (surplus), the price of something will drop. If there is minimal supply that is not meeting demand, (a scarcity) price will go up. Its like water during a disastrous hurricane. Sure, you would laugh at somebody for charging 100 dollars for a 24 pack of water but if you were dying of dehydration amidst a hurrcane (or really really really wanted a revo), you may be willing to pay that price, as a lot of people WANT/NEED that water, so the holder of aforementioned water can be a dickbag and rise the price of the water to level off the demand a bit and hopefully meet equillibrium.

Economics! :smile:

lol it's economics alright. It's "I just got back from ECON 101 and I have to wait two weeks for the new iPhone because they WANT us to wait for it hey pass the doobie" economics. It's right up there with a "buy this gold Donald Trump medallion infomercial" economics.

In every case I'm aware or where companies are rumored to limit supply, it's the other way around. The product is in very high demand and the company can't keep up with production. It's economics that dictates 1. make as many as you can, and 2. profit!

Apple has an entire city of half a million people in China doing nothing but making iPhones, and they're pumping them out at 5 iPhones per second. They can produce 10s of millions per week, but that's not quite enough. They have a 50% profit margin on them. But every year people say they're intentionally limiting supply to... what? Make less money?

Who knows about Predator. They don't have a city in China making Revos. Those shafts are probably hard to make for a company that size making a new type of product. But if they're intentionally limiting supply they're as stupid as the dorm-room conspiracy theorists.
 
Revo..................

I msg'd Pred(again) about the Revo. Their rep., Max,again stated that ALL Revos are made just outside Boston. In fact he said they are filming a spot there next week. He also said that the back-order situation is getting better and that shafts go out every week. Said if you're on a list the wait time is shorter now. Was curious about this myself and just thought i'd post this. BTW, they respond via FB very quickly.
 
If they haven't maybe someone at Predator Group is drawing up plans for the Revo Pacifier. It will be old stock 314 painted black or decal sleeve that looks like carbon fiber.

This is my plan as well. Only thing I didn't like about the Revo was the lack of a white ferrule for aiming - so I painted a thin white ring right under the tip :eek:

The Cuetec is supposed to come with a white ring, not sure if it's an actual ferrule or if it just a painted ring, but I'm looking forward to trying. I haven't heard any updates for awhile - anyone know when it might be available?

I felt same way at first.

I then had a thick white pad put directly under the tip. It's not a full ferrule mind you, but it gives me just enough to see while down on cue and even if I get very low on cue.

The white pad does not change performance in any way.

I have pics up somewhere on here.
 
Revo

Don't know the status of the Revo sales but have heard their not available and your put on a waiting list to get one. I have a 12.9 lightly use Revo shaft I'll be putting on E-bay. Not selling it to rape anyone's wallet but if your looking for one this might be it for you I'm mkmccul8843@aol.com

They are still pumping out Revo shafts, just with a new set of cues. If you do the Math, 2 new p3's came out a month or 2 ago with a wrapless and wrapped version of both. So that's 4 cues #'d to 300 each, so 1200 cues in total. Believe the only option was 12.4 on the shaft as well.

So 1200 radial 12.4 Revo shafts we're just released.
 
Just a quick update, by 11am EST the site was listing them as Our of Stock again.
