    That seems absurd. They were talking to dealers in the Middle East, maybe that’s a local phenomenon there.

    I think it’s like any other silly bubble; it will burst sooner rather than later.

    One piece of anectodal evidence—I saw a Hulk in the Boston Tourneau store in their preowned section. First time I’ve seen one in a store in years. I suspect that’s a sign that things will be changing. No, I didn’t ask about price, since I don’t need one.

    Generally, no, and a waiting list is only theoretical once it passes a year or two. People change their minds, people die, models are discontinued. There seem to be people getting Hulks within a year or two - and without being big spenders at their dealer.
