Nope, high demand = higher prices. When demand for a product is low manufacturers are forced to lower prices to be able to sell the product. They will probably still continue producing at the same volume, if not more, but will increase the price since people are buying this thing like crazy. It is a good opportunity for that company to make a killing Probably the same thing will happen with ONR since the demand for it has increased tremendously in the last few months.

Re: Flex 3401 VRG Headcount

It looks like we created a "monster" by writing rave reviews on the Flex to create an incentive for a price increase. It looks like the Germans finally won this round.

Re: Flex 3401 VRG Headcount

Just got an e-mail from Ranney, he upgraded my shipping to DHL 2nd Day Air at no additional
charge, so now I will get it on friday instead of Saturday or Tuesday. This guy just rocks! BTW, he has 1 Flex left in stock.

Nice deal! I think you made a wise purchase for your first polishing machine.

Re: Flex 3401 VRG Headcount

FYI-for those of us that want the matching FLEX bag, Powerhouse has them for like $35 and also extra backing plates (which are gear driven!) got mine on order too.

Re: Flex 3401 VRG Headcount

I got the last Flex bag today from Powerhouse. Ben told me that they will be getting 10 more in later this month. Also, the price for the Flex would be going out for $279.99.
