A couple of not-so-random thoughts:
1) it occurs to me that this sale is a smart way to do some market research - which models are the most popular? What should we be making more or less of for stock? X30s, for example, don’t seem to be exactly flying out of the door.
2) I wonder how they choose what to build for stock. Employee free-for-all in the builder? Running low on X7s?
The cool thing about the Emerald (and other composite makers) model is that once they’ve got the mould, they can pop one out pretty much on demand. I’d be willing to bet that Mr. Hay loses sleep over how to offer typically chosen options at a lower price point.
