Brooklin & "Black Friday"
YIKES! Will ebay have competition? Is there hope for the consumer? Will all those high price complaints be alleviated? It may truly be a "New Era" at Brooklin. HALLELUJAH!

It sure caught my attention! I'll be checking in for more.

I just checked the Brooklin site on Facebook. Amidst some very loud music (!!!) came the announcement that BRK would be having a 50% off sale on Black Friday. I could not find any other details. Maybe on Friday?
Okay, I just checked the home pages of BRK and found, right at the top, the same announcement. No further details except for the Friday information.

I'm a little confused.
On the Brooklin website I see four cars that come up when clicking on the 50% discount. Cadillac, Desoto and Buick ambulances and a Packard limo. Is that all of them. Then I did not think Brooklin sold direct. What happens if you purchase from one of many retailers in the USA?

Check Facebook Randy
There is an announcement on Facebook. I've asked Amanda, but no response - yet.

I'm guessing, but I think they'll reimburse the dealers with whom you buy.
I doubt it's just those four, but if it is, that Cadillac ambulance has my name on it!

Brooklin Black Friday Sale Clarification. I just received an email from Amanda. It appears that the 50% off Black Friday sale directly from Brooklin is not available to residents of the USA and Canada. In order to take advantage of the sale directly from Brooklin, you must have a European shipping address. I tried to set up an account on the Brooklin web site in order to take advantage of the sale. I was able to enter Canada as the billing address however neither Canada or USA appears in the dropdown for the shipping address. The only thing that I am unsure of is the 100% match that is mentioned. Does anyone know yet if the dealers will be offering the same sale?

Brooklin are conducting a stock reduction excercise.
Dealers are being offered most Brooklin products at much reduced prices, which is then reflected in the retail price.
Of course this does cause a problem for long time dealers such as myself and many others who have kept up their stock levels over the years, to provide a good service to the collectors, and who have large stocks as a result, paid for at the old prices, and will now either be stuck with them, or have to sell at a loss.

I am, where I have replaced stock with the lower priced models.
Because of what I said in my post below, I suspect the lower prices from dealers will continue while they still have stocks.

Too bad, would have been nice.
