I do have a tendency to reject popular opinion...but only when I have a good reason. I'm not contrary just to be contrary. Popular opinion is often moronic. How many albums has Justin Bieber sold?

estesbubba Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 The guy telling people that buying a $49 after incentive premium 5" sander is dumb is the same guy that has 5 block planes, 3 smoothers, 2 jacks, and 3 gallons of Jatoba Oil... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brendon_t Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 I know this makes about zero sense but I pretty much bought it for the $50 rebate. I was planning on buying a track saw so this week and figured okay so that makes it a $50 buy , then when you consider having a backup of the $30 plug in cord for my second hose okay so now it's a $20 sander done. I'm still planning on buying the truck so soon which is really the last Festool tool that I even want so if the seller doesn't ship before I get sick of waiting to buy the track saw I'll just buy it at full price and cancel the sander; which I suppose technically makes that $100 off cancelling the sandwr?

Cliff Posted November 2, 2016 Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 I also got my tracking number. I also bought it for the $50 rebate. If I slip it to some family, maybe they will use it and buy me the CXS. Then I get a free festool. That's my new plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaneymack Posted November 2, 2016 Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 I just called the place I ordered mine from. They had ordered 3500 sanders from Festool and will only receive 10% of that. I wont be getting mine for a while. He said some guy ordered 40 sanders, which he will not be getting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like he was probably planning to re-sell them, unless he happens to represent a very large university woodshop or cabinet making operation.

Yeah, i guess. I more blown away at the fact that the dealer ordered 3500 sanders !!! Just now, estesbubba said: Some guy = Shane? HAHA !

I didnt want to admit it LOL Yeah I'm just thinking, the entire goal of this sort of thing has to be to get a festool tool into the hands of new users who haven't tried them before. After which they'll be impressed enough to step up and try the rest of their line with less sticker shock. It would probably work on me. So the last thing they want is for some re-selling to jack up the price and scare people off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally when the secondary market does this to an item it actually inflates the perception of a products value. You see it in cars, watches, spirits and most all limited Veblen goods. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd think they be trying to figure out how to increase their market share by getting into the hands of additional woodworkers, hence the introductory sale of one item to get users hooked into their system. If you buy the sander, and you start poking around, you'll probably get one of their dust extractors to go with it, and now, since you've got the extractor, why not get the Domino? What do you think?

I think the people buying the inflated price Festool sander would be current koolaid drinkers. Not sure if that would attract the new buyers so much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
