FestoolRecon.com coming VERY soon (US)

[duburban]

With this crowd I should have known to scroll up. So whats the story here? Its festool's show so they can price it at 2x the cost if they want to but I'm slightly confused, especially with the shotgun wedding style email warnings.

I could have a different product number or something but it seemed like sysled light 1 that was up for sale today was priced higher than new on Amazon. I believe they were the same product, am i missing something here?

Read up thread ( or down thread depending on how you are viewing).

I was actually shocked to see the old KAL dinosaur up for sale. It was the best when it first appeared but the KAL II is brighter, has a longer runtime when using the internal battery and has better color fidelity.
So the question is, where did all of these prehistoric beasts come from as they were superseded about 3 years ago by the KAL II. Just asking the question.  [popcorn]

[member=12487]duburban[/member] - It was on sale for 25% off the catalog price.

[member=44099]Cheese[/member] - Keep in mind that (outside of Festool Connect) we hadn't done a recon sale in 2+ years, which was prior to KAL II.

Anyone know, can the Pro 5 $50 coupon be used with refurbed tools?

No can do...

 

[luke duke]

Will this sale be going on over the weekend or is it M-F?

Tyler:

Does the purchase of the refurbished tool come with the appropriate systainer and normally included accessories or is it the "bare" tool in a box? 

Thank you for your response.

Great question. The recon tools are sold with the same scope of delivery as they did when they were new. So (with a few exceptions such as the Vac Sys pump, Kapex, and the STL 450 inspection light) each recon tool will come with a Systainer. Most things like sanders, joiners, track saws, drills, etc. will come with a Systainer.

Didja get your 700?

Still not getting the emails (unless there wasn't an item sold today).  Is the only fix to unsubscribe then sign up again?

Thanks,
Gerald

There was at least one email today, mine have stopped going to my spam folder and are showing up in my normal email now, just FYI...

[member=20329]Gerald_D[/member] - I just looked into this, and I'm seeing something funky in your account. I'll send you a message, and we'll get you taken care of.

No [crying] [crying] [crying] [crying] [crying] [crying] [crying]

Can you believe it...my 92 year old mother just happens to call me and wants to discuss about me arranging a doctors appointment for her next week, so we talk & take care of business.

I then hang up the phone, go to the computer, see the DF 700 message that arrived just 15 minutes earlier, get into festoolrecon.com, put the DF in my cart, hit the button.............SOLD OUT. Waaaaaaaaaaahhhhh...I'm still balling like a baby and that was 2 hours ago. [crying] [crying] [crying] [crying] [crying] [crying] [crying] [crying] [crying]

Cheese,

The Domino 700 recon went in less than 6 minutes. I just happened to be at my computer when the email came through. In the time for me to pay and get one, then refresh the recon page they were gone that fast.

Thanks for the info. I kind of had that for a suspicion because the Vecturo lasted awhile, same thing for the Syslite.
I saw the message delivered 15 minutes earlier and thought great, I’ll be able to catch this one ...Waaaaaaaaahhhhh [crying]

Then they clear that fast the price wasn't set high enough [blink]

 

[live4ever]

Bummer.  Of course we also don't know how many they had to sell.  Maybe bnaboatbuilder got the only one.  LOL.

I'll bet they only had a handfull to begin with.  Six minutes has got to be some sort of record.

Now that requires some serious trolling, or perpetually being "at-the-ready." Few people have the luxury of being able to do that at work.

At this risk of seeing a page 7 on this topic, if you need a particular tool, just go ahead buy it new so you have the 3-year warranty and less stress.  Or, just keep scanning your local/regional CL and pounce when one comes up. Otherwise, someone will have to insert the beating a dead horse icon...

Just received my PDC Kit. I'm a little disappointed. It's missing the right angle chuck and only came with one battery. If I have to buy them separate it doesn't work out to be much of a discount.

 

[rvieceli]

[member=62601]Deane62[/member] they should take care of that for you.

Maybe [member=57769]TylerC[/member] could check into it for you.

 

[Deane62]

I'm going to call them tomorrow. Hopefully they'll take care of it.
