It depends on which airplanes you are talking about, but in the tight markets we’re talking about here, we see an inordinate amount of airplanes sitting on Controller that haven’t sold for some reason or in many cases are already sold. I’m not at all saying you “have to call Chip” and we only do a small number of models anyway, the point is in a market with low inventory when an airplane is on Controller and it isn’t sold, there’s probably a reason.
I’m also pointing out that in a tight market, if an airplane hits Controller that checks all of your boxes, you should grab it immediately before someone else does.
I think the confusion is that I’m talking about the airplanes we are looking for, especially airplanes like B200 King Airs or Mustangs, airplanes that have been very hard to find and someone reading this is thinking of the airplane they’re looking for, that may not represent a tight market.
I don’t know how to fix that, I can’t preface each response with what types of aircraft we are talking about and within that which markets are not tight at the moment. One example when this thread started the PC12NG market was very tight, today it’s pretty soft and there are several high pedigree airplanes on Controller.
Overall, inventory levels aren’t near as low as they were, but just saying X number of airplanes are on Controller, doesn’t tell the whole story.
