SRoque - Ryonet?

I think this is their way of trying to break out of that shell or just straight up expand their horizons.

Yes, true about DS (but of course what would Gilly and Brandt do otherwise with their few free hours? lol!)

What would you all do with the time you spend reading it.

 


LMAO

Looks like we wont have much to read over there for a while. Looks like Marc took out the trash for good this time.

Somehow I doubt its for good.  It never is.

I think that's a wild dream.  LOL

I understand the breaking out of the shell deal, but I can't understand in my head what Ryonet is planning on offering for an "entry level press".  It almost seems like with this move would leave them heavy on two ends yet light in the middle- LOTS of resources and targeting toward the "garage printer" or the "beginner", then a void of sorts, and then the high end machines. Where or what do those transitioning from printing all day every day on a 6/4 manual when they look for their first auto? I know when I made that move, my HIGH end for price range was $30K. Unless Ryan pulled one heck of a deal, SRoque does not have a full size press priced that low....
So whats the move here? Pick up Javelin/Freedom? In my head that does not make sense either, why get someone used to another company only to hope to switch them when the time comes.
I still think it is a great opportunity for Ryonet, I am just more anxious to see how it plays out! Ryan has proven he is no clueless salesman, so it should be exciting to see what he has planned.

I buy a little from Ryonet, mostly fringe things that I know they have in stock and it's easy to find on their website.  I respect them as a company, I respect the guy cause he's made a lot of good decisions, but I don't have to like the goofy videos they make.  I find most of them pretty much on the douche bag side of life, but I'm just a cool M F'er with a much different sense of humor than them so my opinion means very little.  I understand who they used to go after as customers and it looks like they want to broaden that a lot.  SRoque machines are not cheap, and their entry level press price probably isn't even in the ballpark of what we consider entry level, and they'll likely have to change some things a little for this market.  But like I said somewhere else recently, they better not half-ass this and expect success.

Maybe they want to sell customers a 40k machine, have them fail, then realize they're better off smaller with the joystick press and buying quarts from Ryonet for life??? Crazy...genius?

Or maybe it was the only manufacturer not set up already with a territory system and is unregulated for internet sales?

Now, in my honest opinion they should have gone with Anatol as the Titan is a PERFECT fit for their business model with presses starting in the teens and easy upsell to servo index and AC heads.  Does Anatol have a territory system though? Shrug?

[Gilligan]

My first print was for a friend and it ballooned from there. He told some people and thy told some people. Hell the phone company has had our name spelled wrong in the phone book for the last two years.

LOL, My computer business is 911 PC Emergency, AT&T f'd me over and refused to print that (even after selling me the number and I clarified the issue), so as a joke I put Peanut Butter and Jelly Computers.

I still get calls... but my number essentially isn't even IN the phone book in that regard! :p

[mnalcl]

Anatol has a territory system set up(not that they abide by it). I agree the Titan is probably the best entry level press, if you are going solely off price. The problem with Anatol is you can sell them one, but chances the customer will not be back for another!

[tonypep]

Agreed. Service is poor.

[mnalcl]

Agreed. Service is poor.

You are being flattering when you say that!  The machines are good machines, that I can say. But it STOPS there.

[Rockers]

Now that they have made it public that they are selling Sroque presses they start dissing M&R already. Saw this on facebook the other day. Of course you can make better presses but at what cost and M&R sell quality at a fair or even better then fair price.

[Donnie]

There is an 8/10 at Ft. Worth and a whole butt load of Ryonet employees in close proximity aswering questions about it.

[inkman996]

Did anyone get an idea on pricing for these press's?

[Nation03]

My best guess is that the cheapest 8/10 machine they carry is in the mid $50k range. But I honestly have no idea.
