Some tough decisions arise:
Dealers are about BUSINESS. Clearing out ARC now rather than later is probably good business. Not to mention, it makes space for other available equipment in their showrooms.
I wonder about warranty coverage:
recently purchased still within warranty period
current demos (demos are like open box) initial sales date usually gets full warranty from that date. Promises might not be kept by new ARC owners if that occurs.
buy NOS now? buy NOS later?
Existing ARC Owner: IF you were thinking you might go for something else before the announcement: soon or after/if inflation calms down, then what?
It’s getting old, will there be authorized service? Parts?
IF you want max resale price, now or wait till market might get flooded with ARC, much better/newer/less use than yours?
btw, Steve at VAS has some nice ARC pieces he will sell (if you ask him, he doesn’t advertise them). I wonder what he thinks.
