Sorry to hear about this - good luck with whatever you decide to do in the future.

Pity Chris hope retirement suits you both.

Bugger!! Best of luck Chris.

Sorry to hear Chris, may your retirement be a good one. I love my Clearview

Sorry to see you retiring, Chris ... but I'm glad you hung around long enough to sell me a cyclone.

Hi Chris,

I wish you well for your retirement. I hope you remain active on the forums, I have enjoyed your input both in open forum and in the odd PM. I have admired the way you have provided helpful information to everyone whether they were a customer or designing their own system or setting up your opposition's gear. You have proven yourself to be a true gentleman.

Hopefully someone will pick up the clearvue ball and run with it. If I ever upgrade from what I am currently rebuilding then the only way I could see me going is clearvue..

Good Luck Chris

Doug

Thanks for all the good wishes and compliments, it is much appreciated. My approach has always been to give customers what I would expect if I were doing the buying, most times it works and just occasionally there is a hiccup. things happen that we can't control or foresee. I am leaving the workforce later in the year but the time to leave CV was now due to lead times on orders and sales times which can be pretty slow at times and I did not want to have any product in stock by September. I am ever hopeful of someone picking it up as the product at the price point I had it at is unbeatable value and there is nothing in the market to match it.

When I started out I was told by well known personality in the woodworking retail sector I was doing it all wrong. He is most probably correct as he is a lot wealthier than me! His contention was I should import, jack the price up and just be a wholesaler to the retail end. Would anyone like to pay $3500 + for a cyclone? I am poor but happy that I ignored has advice and made it affordable for others. When I imported mine prior to being the Oz distributor I paid a lot more than I am retailing them for now so I reckon that they are a bargain.

We need someone to step up to the plate, let's see what happens.

Hi Chris we spoke today and I assumed business as usual ..... I had no idea of your decision to close down the business. I am sorry to hear the bad news and can only say I now feel fortunate I purchased the CV1800 when I did and thanks for your after sales support and encouragement.

I believe there is definitely a market for he ClearVue product and I hope someone will take up the challenge!

Happy retirement, Mini

A bit of an update, I sold the last cyclone yesterday, sad but true. Will someone please take on the distribution in this country as I feel guilty having to knock back sales, three in the last few days and I have one customer who has bought fourteen and will continue to buy. I am going to pull the website then hold a fire sale on the bits and pieces left here such as filters, mini CV06, etc.

Chris I hope you have applied for/to all the right authorities before having this fire after all so close to bush land.


That mini still sounds tempting

Best of luck Chris

thanks for your help Chris

Don't despair, I am sure that somehow it can be resolved.
