Kinda depends on supply and demand. This is an outfit from South Africa. Who knows how big they are or what their capabilities are. Maybe they can only manufacture a couple tops per month because it's a small operation. If the demand is for 50 tops per year, then the price will stay high because the demand is strong enough that they can ask that high price. You're assuming they could even keep up with production if they dropped their price to $2K and got flooded with orders. If it's a small operation not interested in growing, then we may never see the price drop. Do you think the price of any Gemballa or Ruf stuff will drop? Nope, they sell at a high price and you either want it or not. If you don't, then move along because there's another guy in line behind you with money in hand who wants their product...

I'm with SinnerDC2, I'd keep my eyes open down the road for someone who buys and then doesn't want it. Maybe you could get a deal then, but you'd better be that first guy in line with money in your hand.

I would buy one if the price drops a bit more, $3K to $3500 is about what it is worth, I never drop the top anyways and have lost so much in value that I will keep it a couple more years.

Hi all

I know I live in Australia, but I'm also in for US$3,500 for the Zeintop. I love the look.

Sorry to bump up an old thread.

Since the company is in the US, much easier for someone to organise this in the US - I can send payment to the person organising it first - I'll pay for additional shipping to Australia.
