Officially, the 1499 model was sold out immediately after launch, seeming to be a hot seller, but there’s more to the story. The manufacturer’s move is to regain pricing control of the market—offering the 1499+ original box authenticity guarantee to attract some consumers, which is no problem. But what about the dealers? How will they sell the stock they’ve hoarded? They can’t answer this question.

This game is far from over. On one side, the manufacturer wants to reshape the pricing system and counter market speculation; on the other side, dealers are facing reduced profits and inventory buildup. If inventory turnover stalls, dealers’ cash flow will become tight. The key question is: if dealers collectively strike or cooperate passively, how long can the manufacturer’s pricing system last?

There’s also an overlooked detail—has the steady growth in performance over the years truly been inseparable from this pricing game? Once the supply chain and dealer network tear apart, will the subsequent growth curve also weaken? The short-term phenomenon of instant sell-outs, can it sustain long-term growth expectations? Only time will tell.

Dealers are really struggling this time, with inventory pressure mounting... selling out quickly is just the surface scene.

Seconds空 is all a gimmick; the dealers have already lost their temper, and the inventory is crushing them.

1499 seconds of empty is just a smoke screen. Distributors have already been overwhelmed. How difficult it must be for distributors now. The manufacturer's latest pricing directly cuts into their profit margins. If the supply chain truly tears apart, these growth expectations might just be a paper tiger. Short-term traffic can't solve long-term messes; sooner or later, debts will have to be paid. Manufacturers want to dominate the world, but how can distributors obediently follow? With such heavy inventory pressure, if distributors collectively become passive and slack off, it's hard to say whether the manufacturer can handle it. This pricing system is actually just storytelling; how long it can last remains to be seen. Distributors have been cut multiple times, and in the end, they still have to recover costs from consumers. Behind the seconds of sell-out, many channel merchants are crying. This account will be settled sooner or later. The manufacturer's clever plans, distributors don't necessarily have to cooperate. The game is still in its early stages.

Seconds空 is just a facade; the dealers have already expressed their concerns. The real test is whether we can maintain this price. Once the supply chain encounters problems, the entire situation will be a loss.

Seconds of emptiness do not equal good business; the distributors should have taken action long ago. The manufacturer is just hyping themselves up, isn't it?
