Good morning Carmine,

I wonder why Costco isn't allowing a better price break on the Pro.

Hi Venson:

Perhaps ORECK is dictating the price at least for the time being.

Hello 'turtle1'

Would you believe I've been waiting all summmer for the Steam It to come into my local ORECK dealer and it's not yet.  Perhaps Judy will call me personally to let me know when the store gets it.  I'm really not in any real hurry for it and I have an ORECK offer in writing good until Septembe 25 for the new Platinum for $199, which I presume the local ORECK dealer would match. 

Thanks for asking.

Hi 'turtle1'

If I were in need, I'd order from the ORECK Web Site for the same price at the local dealer.

Could the new Oreck "Investors" needing quick $'s to recoup their investment have anything to do with this? Undercutting their Franchise Dealers who PAY A HEFTY PRICE to be Oreck Dealers, is a pretty underhanded way to do business IMHO. Taking away vacuum sales and making them honor warranties?????... all for the promise of BAG sales. Who can run and support a business on bag sales?

Hello Lucky1:

You raise an interesting point.  Since this is an "old" discountinued ORECK model I would think the investors, who may or may not be represented on the Board of Directors, had no input. 

In my opinion, it's just a good way to unload old stock, keep your name and product in the market place with a reputable retailer, COSCTCO, which has done well

with sales while most others have tanked.
