Title: NOE .457 group buy
Post by: aimsmall on February 25, 2021, 11:05:04 AM
Trying to drum up some interest in a group buy of a .457 mold.
My first time trying to purchase from NOE, not sure if this is the right subforum to post this. From the looks of NOE's site I'd get more activity here.
SC460-350-RF-AE1
I don't know if it matters in the group buy about how many cavities but I wanted to get the 4 cavity mold.

AFAIK, NOE has dropped the "Group Buy" business model....  http://noebulletmolds.com/smf/index.php/topic,2930.0.html (http://noebulletmolds.com/smf/index.php/topic,2930.0.html)

I have not heard anything to the contrary, and have not seen any new Group Buys since that announcement....

I saw that and your post. I'm not sure how else to order or get a run done there.
It does seem confusing. I figure if we can show enough interest he might consider it?
I saw the post where he is around 18 weeks backed up so I can't see where it makes business sense doing a run of something not selling as much
as other calibers. So that caliber could be out of stock for a really long time till demand for what he has going now slows down.
no idea really

From other posts a few days ago I read that NOE has so many orders and such a big backlog that just to fill the orders they currently have will take them at least 16-18 weeks. That came from someone who had them on the phone and asked. Other than buying what they may already have in stock it will easily be 4-6 months before anyone can realistically hope to receive something like a group buy order.

I know my 2nd post says as much...
I don't care either. I'll wait if I can get on a list. No one has any molds in stock anywhere, (at least not in the range I'm looking for) NOE isn't the only one dealing with it.
