RE: Dealers and Companies..
What are they going to do with all of the previous years models that didn't sell when everyone returns them? They have to gague their manufacturing on how many bows that are actually selling. Not on how many dealers are not selling.
There are very few "guaranteed sells" where the manufacturer accepts returned items that didn't sell at the end of the year. When it does happen it is usually anew company that needs to get their name out there and they offer this as incentive for a dealer to take them on as a new vendor. The major names do not have to do this as they are already established in the industry.
