Heads Up - Holley might be closing out the 660 Center Squirter again

[thatdarncat]

I saw a heads up on Facebook today, Holley has the 660 Center Squirters for sale cheap on the Holley website right now. I know a few people were concerned last time it looked like they discontinued them, then they came back, who knows this time. Anyway, excellent price.

Thanks for the heads up. I just bought two. Hard to resist at that price

[thatdarncat]

Looks like they sold out.

Dang I wish I had seen this when you posted it. That's a heck of a price!

Well, if it makes you feel any better, Holley emailed me and said they canceled my order because of limited quantity.  It showed that they had 96 left when I placed my order.

Oh well, I hope you other guys get yours.

Canceled your entire order? That sucks. I wish I had gotten in on the deal, but I was just giving you a hard time. I hope the others get theirs also.

Yep, entire order.  Bunch of jack legs.

Seems like the folks that ordered 2 are getting them, and all the folks ordering large amounts got cancelled.

*shrugs*

I had 8 sets of carbs fully restored, just needing assembly and testing, and the customers cancelled due to this.  I also have a pile of 660 center squirter cores that I was going to restore, had customers lined up, and are now they are going to sit on the shelf for 2-3 years, if not longer before I can find someone wanting them.
In total I lost $6k in sales overnight for work I'd already done, and am sitting on another $5k in inventory for who knows how long because of this "sale." 

But hey.... bonus part, I bought two brand new 660's for $400

Sorry to hear about that Drew, and don't get me started on cancellations.  I've got a brand new set of my pentroof valve covers here with "FAIRLANE" script custom engraved on them, and the customer bailed on me.  I hate the idea of taking money up front from people, but stuff like this makes me think twice...

[Drew Pojedinec]

Well, much like yourself, I don't do this for a living..... so it isn't too hard to swallow.

In regards to these cancellations, I don't mind one bit, heck the majority of those customers I sent the link to them.
It wouldn't be right for them to pay $800 for something from me when they can buy the same parts brand new for $400.

I don't take money up front either.  My view is that I hold all the cards until I ship their product.  Plus with my wild schedule, I wouldn't feel right having someone's parts, AND their money if I got shipped off for two months.

[cjshaker]

Drew, does this mean you'll be running a sale to compete with Holley? If so, sign me on

[Nightmist66]

I ordered two the other night. Got an email today that my order was cancelled.    I wonder who is ACTUALLY getting one?
