I had heard the second batch was the last ? I know when I ordered my latest set from Mark Cordwell, he said they were beginning to run out and there wouldn't be any more.

I got the impression there was a decent demand for these tanks so therefore a profit to be made by the manufacturer?

Think the issue now is that most people that may need one in the future already has one stashed under the bed so future demand for another batch is limited

I guess the decision to make another batch is down to the distributors like Norbo, M&P, Dave etc etc having to ‘group buy’ together to hit the MOQ. The factory won’t make them just to put on their shelf… the aftermarket business doesn’t work like that. That probably means 50-100 tanks…each … in Aug 2022, who is going to tie up cash even at say £150 a pop …

Yes even if they were £150 (and that seems cheap to me) to buy and MOQ was 100 that’s £15k tied up. How long to shift over 50% to make a profit on the rest? Jon |
