Sigma Stock Crisis

[andy8758]

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.

Don't they all go on holiday for a month on September.?

 

[White Room]

They do like their summer holidays from my understanding....

Get on ebay there cheaper then anywhere else and there's always machines avaliable

 

[Italy]

it could be . otherwise the cause, off bologna fair. cersaie. at the fair orders, discounted.

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)

Buy Rubi!
Plenty of stock - always.

 

[J Sid]

real tilers will use a pin hammer, tungsten chisel, and scribe. People will be moaning because RLS are out of stock next..... Amateurs

 

[Italy]

I have seen some sellers on ebay Italy. no longer sell in uk.
Mistery...

 

[Tile Shop]

Have you tried Pro Tiler Tools?

 

[Concrete guy]

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.

 

[J Sid]

just been in CTD and was told they have plenty off stock

 

[Aston]

just been in CTD and was told they have plenty off stock

Were you tempted to buy one?? ;0)

 

[Time's Ran Out]

Bellota are out there.
Got one of there mixing paddles £100+ and seems good.

 

[J Sid]

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.

Ctd have stock ..

 

[andy8758]

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.

Have you Diatech...

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.

If you do go for a sigma give the klick klock a chance....
