I think it's a little early to say, as George does, "There is more to this
than meets the eye." I'm not saying he's wrong; just that there's
insufficient data.
Remember that Ten-Tec is now under new ownership. Yes, we've never seen a
sale quite like this before, but maybe that's for no other reason than the
new owners don't do things exactly like the original owners did.
And for the record... I look at the beer stein and say "Yo, barkeep! Time
to order a refill!"

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

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.

cost? Or is TT, instead, simply caught up in a general lament that *all* new
equipment is overpriced?

the end of this year.

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.
