I nominate Oliver for poet laureate of FOG.

Well [member=57769]TylerC[/member] this is very interesting, I just received notification of the C 18 sale on my iPhone & MB Pro and the time stamp on both emails is 2:30. I’ll save both messages and can forward them to you if that’s of any sleuthing value to you.

 

[TylerC]

[member=44099]Cheese[/member] Interesting. Yes, please forward them to me. I received mine at 2:09.

So I have to pay TN sales tax on Festool recon items because of Brent.

If Brent is the name of your state senator, yes.  [wink]

 

[Ivan T]

Where can I sign up for the recon sale.

 

[rljatl]

[member=44099]Cheese[/member] Interesting. Yes, please forward them to me. I received mine at 2:09.

FWIW as another data point, I received the Domino email at 12:20 eastern and the C18 email at 2:09 eastern, too.

 

[TylerC]

Where can I sign up for the recon sale.

You can sign up here:https://www.festoolrecon.com/account/login

We'll make a link to that page easier to find tomorrow.

Nexus requirements vary from state to state. Although we won't discuss our business operations in each state, I'm pretty sure I know why we have nexus in Tennessee, and it isn't because of a dealer relationship.

Again, just a guess, not a statement of fact.

Also, I like this new recon format, but presenting three or four items per day would work for me.

 

[Wooden Skye]

I never got any email about either tool, checked spam folders for both email addresses, i do get notifications from festool for most things.  Just letting [member=57769]TylerC[/member] know as it may be the same for others.

This is a crappy way to handle the reconditioned tools that is sure to disappoint most. The desk jockey's/retired folks have the upper hand on those of us who work and can't check their email continuously. Festool's call on how to get rid of the merchandise, but way to complicated. Same mess as the last sale except a different method for getting there. For the record I have no interest in the sale other than reading about the complaints and those sharpshooting the how's and why's.

 

[TylerC]

[member=14478]Wooden Skye[/member] - The email that you have associated with your FOG account is not on the recon list. If you signed up with a different email address, send me a message, and I'll check for you. Otherwise, you might want to sign up again. Shoot me a message afterward if you want me to check again.

Ha! My C18 announcement arrived at 2:08!

I don't really don't see what's complicated about it.

These tools are going to go really fast no matter how it is set up. So anyone interested will need  to be ready.

Since today is the first one, it is quite possible that any wrinkles will get ironed out. As opposed to other recon sales that were one shot affairs.

Festool could make the announcements everyday at 11:00 pm Eastern time. That way more people would have a chance to see the notice. Then the people with the fastest reflexes could make a purchase.

[member=57769]TylerC[/member] that's alright, I'm not buying anything, so I never signed up, I thought you would be notified if you has an address on file will Festool USA.  Guess I didn't read the original announcement closely enough.

So was that it? Just the two tools today?

 

[peter halle]

Yep.  Two different items with limited quantities of each.

For those asking about state taxes...

I believe tax nexus in a state applies if you have an employee (even an individual territory rep calling on dealers) in that state.  Certainly a distribution, manufacturing, design, customer service or other facility would also apply.

Another Festool blunder in my opinion. This is just silly the way they put this together. Having to sit by your email hoping a tool you want comes up then purchasing within 15 minutes before it sells out. Just dumb. I’ve had enough, Festool has become a joke.

FWIW as another data point, I received the Domino email at 12:20 eastern and the C18 email at 2:09 eastern, too.

Thanks for the heads up...I received my Domino notice at 11:20, a full hour before you, yet I received my C 18 notice at 2:30, 21 minutes after you and a long time after the gear was sold and the both of us were thus unable to bid.  [eek]

WTH... I’m totally confused. 

So, receiving my Domino notice an hour before yours, I’d be able to purchase the entire store before you got your first bid in. What am I not understanding here?
So much for the level playing field. I actually had a better shot at the old way of doing business.
