bark ivory

[rolexkid]

did chris reeve have a price increase on the bark ivory inlay?

AFAIK, woods, ivory increase in price every year.

At least one dealerr adds $100 even above the normal price.

My suggestion is buy now, I think they will continue to go up in price.

Mmmm.... Bark Ivory....

Well, I've got mine.

(pic borrowed from TNK, where I purchased it!)

But even if they go up in price, I think I'll still buy more. Actually I NEED more... (is there a cure for this?)

Nice Sebbie Jos!

Just a cost comparison. Large Limited Sebenzas, Thuya Burl versus Mammoth Ivory bark; I paid over $200 more for the Bark. Both are very nice woods but the Bark is in limited supply compared to Thuya.

And Bark is very expensive raw compared to wood.

The truth is, however, that the price is driven by the limited supply vs the high demand. The dealer who charges $100 more than retail does so because people do pay it!

I remember when the Hybrid cars first came out. Toyota dealers around here were getting $5k over sticker.
