Sigma Stock Crisis

Anyone know why Sigma is out of stock everywhere at the moment? I know you Sigma guys believe its because everyone buys them, but that doesn't explain why they don't just manufacture more cutters.
 
Just beat you there mark.😛

It's a strategic business ploy..
Supply and demand...now sigma have got everybody hooked, they cause a famine in the uk.

Everybody that now wants one will panic and get desperate, then!! All of a sudden?? They will be back in stock, with a little price increase ;0)

Unless you do as Kyle says and buy direct from Italia via ebay ;0)
 
Probably to do with Exchange rates. I imagine they were waiting to see if the Pound got back some ground against the Euro so they didn't have to re price everything.
 
Were you tempted to buy one?? ;0)
sadly not, it's not that I have anything against them, besides the pulling action, but when I need a new cutter I will give them a try.
until tiles larger then 900x900 take off in my area I don't need a new cutter.
 
Lol @ all the replies. I have been debating about buying a 1200 instead of renting. Got stuffed again this week - customer decided to go with 900x300 instead of 600x300's previously discussed! Ended up wet cutting for the long cuts...

So whilst searching for best deals, I was intrigued at how few retailers had any large Sigmas in stock. I am Mr Rubi. Have tried Sigma 1200 (on hire). Ok its a good cutter. But is it really better than a TX1200? Its cheaper though.

Andy, like yourself I've been using Rubi, only a few months ago a had to work with the sigma 1200, I'd never buy another Rubi. Just get a push to score and if you want flip the handle round and it'll resemble a Rubi.
