Who is buying a Type81?

You should be weary of any business that asks you to prepay in full and doesn't offer a solid delivery date. What are you guys who prepaid going to do if TI goes out of business next week, the week after or next month? If the speculation that they're having financial problems and can't pay their supplier (Polytech) is true, you're taking a hell of a chance. Being short on capital and inability to pay suppliers is a good indicator of where things might be headed for a small company.

From what I've read so far in the different threads, they're not very forthcoming with the reasons for the delays... and resort to petty bickering with thread "trolls" instead. I'll definitely wait till the goods are available in stock and ready to ship. This whole "prepay a grand and wait a year or two while we keep you in suspense" thing is nonsense.


Good luck, everyone.

The way I see it, they've kept their end of the bargain and I don't expect further explanation from them until "this winter" is over. Not sure what everyone else was reading but I don't expect any explanation or updates until then.

So if it is lets say $400 per rifle. Knowing Polytech it is probably 2000 minimum order 2000x$400 it is $800000.00 it is a serious chunk of change. That is going to major wholesaler like North Sylva or Big Rock territory

1000 rifle order is what TI said last year

They missed keeping their end of the bargain once already... If the last day of winter comes, and they say that once that China has not started production, do you think they would only know that on the last day of winter? Or do you think China is keeping their end of the bargain and not telling TI anything either?
 
UPDATE!!!! Photograph of Type 81 shipment destined for Canada released!!!!

TI just got back from the factory to see what the hold up was. What they found was more disturbing than we ever could have imagined.

They will make an official update later this week.

LOL.

So lemme get this straight: Countless guys pre-paid $1000 for a rifle that has not even started production, the dealer with their cash has no idea what's going on, can't provide any updates, and has now locked the only thread where they were even communicating with people about this.

Beautiful.

So glad I stopped doing business with TI after the SG542 mess.
