Models that were discontinued twice?

#1

Post by VooDooChild »

Does anyone know the how or why behind models that were discontinued twice? I picked up a handful of discoed models in the last 2 months and Im happy. But alot of them were discontinued the year before. The only thing that throws me off is for some models, like the D'Allara 3, I remember them being discontinued, then being sold at discount prices by online dealers last year. But then I remember them not being available, or in stock, or listed as discontinued the entire past year. Then 2 months ago(?) When they were discontinued again the online dealers had them back in stock at discoed prices once again.

Im assuming there was an unshipped surplus. Or did somebody lose the keys to a storage room for a year? Have other models been discontinued 2 years in a row?
