Too Tall Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 These seem to be in short supply atm, with the only etailer with stock now price gouging and asking £10 over the RRP. Does anyone know why they are in short supply, and more importantly when the next shipment is due in ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveM6 Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 It does indicate how successful the system is by exceeding sales expectations. We are told they will be resupplied in early Q3 (trying to get more detail). In the meantime, name the profiteering retailer so I can avoid them. Mod note- now revised to mid/late Q3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They appear to be out there if you are prepared to pay over the odds. Edited June 3 by Bulleidboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulleidboy Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 I just found and bought two at less than RRP - so they are out there, but you have to search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too Tall Posted June 3 Author Share Posted June 3 (edited) Yep Jadlam were the one I was referring too. I found some a month or so back at a good price, but could only afford 2 at the time, I thought I would get 2 more but they have now sold out. late Q3 is a bit away,Ill just have to keep my eyes peeled. Edit, just found 3, one from one new to me shop, and 2 from another new to me shop, hopefully they are genuine sellers !

Brew Man Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 What were their prices like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulleidboy Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 Models and Miniatures in Hereford still have two 8pin sound decoders at £60.12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brew Man Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 That's a good price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinB Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 Well this is what is listed on the Bure Valley website "OUT OF STOCK - NEW STOCK DUE TO ARRIVE FEB 25" . Even for Hornby I find that an amazing statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well generally Bure Valley are pretty good, so I wonder why they would post that. There again I have had preorder locos that have arrived way outside their expected window for delivery. I was quoted end of the year for Powerpacks off another company, so I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Too Tall Posted June 4 Author Share Posted June 4 (edited) I have a despatch email for 2x decoders ,but the single one I ordered, a very nice (and apologetic) chap phoned me and explained their last one was broken, so refunded me. He has been told by Hornby to expect them around December, so I guess its down to whoever at Hornby is dealing with the particular retailer ...

The 2 were free postage and £58.49 each, but they were the last ones they had. Edited June 4 by Too Tall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course the 18 pin ones are still in stock as I assume they don't fit most locos with an 18 pin socket. Thank you "Too Tall" for the information.

Too Tall Posted June 4 Author Share Posted June 4 I think the 8 pin are more in demand because the flying leads make them a bit more verstatile, with or without the plug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulleidboy Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 Just do a search - they are out there, as I said earlier. The two I ordered arrived today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
