BB Direct Sales info

[Tom Warner]

Ron if there is no downside to any dealer then does that mean that
the factory will not discount the coaches below what the dealers are
selling them for? If this is the case then how can they possibly
lower the price to be competitive in todays market like the
announcement indicated? Here is what the factory announced. ""The
efficiency of factory-direct sales will allow Blue Bird to offer our
customers the finest motorcoach with the best service at the most
attractive price," said Fred VanDenBerg, Blue Bird
Coachworks'director of motorcoach sales and marketing." Does this
mean that each dealer will have a certain area in which the factory
will not sell coaches direct?

It appears that at least one dealer , John Bleakley, does not like
the program since they are no longer a dealer. This has got to be a
very bad sign for Bluebird. Time will tell.
