No UK C2 Stock anywhere

Post by GreenGeorge » March 29th, 2020, 7:54 am

Desperate to buy a Model D (2711), but there does not appear to be any UK stock. Vast majority of private sales will require collection which is contrary to current UK CV-19 movement rules. It would appear that with all the gyms closing there has been a Huge surge in demand.
A long shot but anyone from C2 able to indicate when there might be indoor rowing machines in stock? Or a source which offers UK delivery?

There's nobody from Concept2 UK that visits this forum.

I think you've missed the boat. I don't think we'll see any ergo ready for sale for three months or more. There'd be no chance of getting warehouse stock shipped from America.

I can't see that running Concept2 UK's offices/warehouse in Nottingham counts as a key job - I'd prefer to see their warehouse staff working as colleagues at a Tesco distribution centre (so my wife can get the stock to sell in the nearest Tesco store where she works).

I managed to grab a used older model D before things got stupid. I had ordered a new one but the order was cancelled due to low stock.

Have you seen the prices on Evilbay? Ridiculous over a grand for old rowers.

Your best chance is trying to find a used one that someone is prepared to courier out to you. It will be expensive though...

Could you rent one from a gym?

You certainly can't treat it any worse than the folks who normally use them, and if they're just sitting in there they might be willing to let a few of them out to try to bring in some cash flow. It's worth a few phone calls. (I'm assuming the rules there aren't so strict that one couldn't combine a grocery store run with picking up an erg.)
