[quote user="spidge"] <p>WOW! I really don't like that meter, it inspires me to kick the dog. I refuse to pre-order, especially since I have not seen or heard the unit run.</p><p>I understand that the MRR industry needs some creative ways to stay in bussiness without alianating thier distrubutors and especially thier customers. Now if they had a better track record and have had many releases with success then maybe we could do this, but until then those of us who refuse to pay up front for some hope that a given loco get produced will continue to be creative in our solutions to get what we want. This has been the way most MRRers have moved foreward in the hobby without spending thier retirement money or selling off a child.</p><p>There was a time when I was in the market for a Concor model but couldn't find a shop with what I was looking for. When I asked the people in the shop about Concor it was the same answer everywhere, We don't cary Concor as when we purchase the unit at cost and cannot sell it Concor turns around and has a sale that undercuts them by a large margin. I probably would not carry them either, but Concor should have done something to help the retailer move their products. This is a bit different than the PCM situation, but it points out some of the complications that OUR manufacturers are having to deal with.</p><p>[/quote]</p><p>That History has repeated or is repeating itself these last few months with PCM cutting out the dealers, stores and distributors.</p>
