Domino Sold Out In Usa!!!

[Dan Lautner]

According to my sources in Germany the Domino will be sold out in the US by the end of next week. Festool had an enormous pre order demand and expects inventory to last no longer than one week from the release date. I was told early august will be the soonest we will see new shipments in the states. I will be at my local festool dealer on friday morning at 6:00 a.m. with an ak-47 in one hand and a machete in the other. Stay out of my way. I plan on making more MT joints friday afternoon than Chippendale made in his lifetime.

If true, this is the same thing that happened when it was released in Europe and Australia. Sold out almost immediately and then backordered for a month or two. Based on that experience, they must have built a pretty large inventory in anticipation, but still apparently not enough. Once the initial flurry settles down, they will be able to predict the flow of equipment and adjust their manufacturing accordingly.

Hmmmmm......Lets' see..........Domino sold out...........Next shipment from Germany may not be until August..........Mine should get here next week.............Hmmmmmm.........Anyone want to buy a brand new, never used Domino? Of course, considering the supply and demand issue at hand, there will be a "slight" premium to pay.

Sounds like they're selling them too cheap.

Dan,

I haven't heard that, though the pre-orders are tremendous.

EBAY. If you act quick enough you could get probably 1.5 times the cost out of it.

Cary,

For me that would be plain silly.

I like math. Go figure.

For every single hour of uninterrupted use, this machine pays for itself.

Its not like scalping tickets and to be profitable you would have to own

10 or 20 and still keep one. Providing you are a builder and not a tool

speculator.

Bob,
Mind sharing how many domino's you have been alloted or maybe how many of them are already spoken for?

Don't date yourself. My wife waited in line all night one Christmas season many years ago to get a cabbage patch kid for my daughter. My daughter will be 31 in a couple of weeks.

LOL...And this was real woodworking put to use...

Oh to return to the good old days, sigh.

You remember, uphill too school both ways, barefoot in a blizzard,

south of Miami. When Mom and dad traveled like this....
