RE: low Saipan sales numbers...
Mitigating factors:
1. No advertisement in specialized magazines
2. No sales to retailers
3. Very short production cycle
4. AP's recent history
I believe 300 sales in a very short cycle is not bad at all when you consider how many months/years it takes for many of the well advertised P500 GMT offerings to reach 500 pre-orders.
Avalanche Press is rebuilding its image and successes like this one will help boost consumer and retailer confidence. The sales figures will go up once AP start selling to retailers again.
