What's up with Cobb's product availability?

[copperkid]

I love Cobb. I think they make quality products based on lots of good R&D.

But what is up with Cobb's product availability for the MS3? I understand the circumstances with their SRI, but it seems like you can't find their FMIC or shifter weight in stock anywhere. These products just came out, what's up with that!

I just hope the rumor of Cobb controlling supply to create product hype isn't true! Because that's an excellent way to loose customers.

I don't know about controlling supply but hey it worked for Nintendo, 2 years in and you still can't find the damn Wii in stock anywhere lol.

they have to be controlling supply there a huge company they could get things out in a hurry if they needed great marketing strat imo.

Either that, or they're more interested in their other products? They have a new facility they're building in Texas though! Woohoo...

idk i watched an interview with the ceo and he seemed really partial to the ms3's/ ms36's

They have to be controlling stock, I went down to thier shop about a month ago and saw that they have a SRI for speed 3 in a glass case. I asked if I could have that one and they said no =(

This has to be the stupidest thing a company could do, if it is on purpose to create interest/hype. I personally will move on to a competitor or get so pissed off to never do business with them again. I can understand a 1-2 week backorder, but 6 months?! Give me a break! I could make one in that time with no fabrication skills. I had thought about getting a SRI if my dealer was on board, but after reading all the threads on the backorders, I say **** it. To use the Wii as an example also, the Wii Fit was so ridiculously impossible to get, i just lost interest. It was going to be a gift, but like I say, I will spend my money elsewhere if they cannot produce enough units. I hope people from Cobb read this and get the picture, that they are just pissing people off.

I don't think cobb writes on here, where as I've made plenty of blunt comments to them on the other forum. I don't understand it either man, I really don't.

The good thing is that for most parts, there are other options aside from COBB. Don't want to wait? Don't have to.

 

[DaleNixon]

Exactly! I ordered an HKS SRI instead. Oh wait, that s***'ll never ship either

Yup. Competition makes competitors stay true. No competition = complacency which = overpricing, bad workmanship/service/products.

LOL! Conspiracy theory?
