PST Resurrects

[PhilEllis]

Does anyone know the price for the "New" PST HP 80 ?

They appear to be about the same prices as the Worthington.

You have to hand it to Hoosier, for his optimism:

Hoosier, despite your denials, we have to believe that you're in their pocket. Or, just a very naive chearleader. What is this, the third year in a row that you have pronounced PST's return?

We all look forward to actual and real competition. Let us know when they have 100, 120 and 130's ready to ship "today". Until such time...........it's just wishful thinking.

Besides, what's wrong with Worthington's product? Seems, they've filled the niche quite nicely. And in a much more timely manner than PST was doing.

I have been a very naive chearleader. I have contacted them (New Joint Venture company) several times, but their answers weren't clear enough.

Currently, I have four PST tanks and four Worthington Tanks. So, I am in the objective position.

Nothing is wrong with Worthington Tanks. I just want to see a drastic competition and price goes down in the market.

Given current prices for steel, I have a hard time beleiving anyone could either justify or survive a price war. It just ain't gonna happen. The market appears sufficiently handled by Worthington and since there's alot of animosity towards PST from dealers I wonder how they intend to market their "comeback" - if at all. Why should someone like Phil bother to place an order with PST? I wouldn't unless its COD.

Oh~~ You never know..

At the begining, Worthington also got into the market with a competively lower price to PST....
And, even 10% lower price worked very well....

So has anyone actually seen any PST tanks out there?

I have not.

And PST is just finishing or still in restructuring. And steel prices are a good 20% higher today than when Worthington restarted their scuba wares ~3 yrs ago.

If I were shopping, I would willingly pay Worthington "10% more" and actually get a tank.

I have, in my entry way to my condo. A set of double 100s, original hydros in '04.

I am talking about a relative price to Worthington, NOT an absolute price under a precondition that PST tank is available in the market.

If NEW PST tank is 10% cheaper and is in stock, I will prefer PST to Worthington.

But, it is only my hope at this moment....
