Jus1503561049 Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Hi Ben, I'm looking for an update on your progress with the possible power buy. I've sent you a couple of emails and you're yet to reply, I'm hoping you've been busy sorting out the details for a great purchase price . There are a few more members who have also expressed interest, it would be helpful to all concerned to share any update on the situation you may have. Thanks again for all your efforts thus far, hoping this comes together. Cheers, Jus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a few more members who have also expressed interest, it would be helpful to all concerned to share any update on the situation you may have. Thanks again for all your efforts thus far, hoping this comes together. Cheers, Jus. Thanks guys for being patient. I have been quite involved in some work related issues at the moment. Thanks for those who have publically expressed their interest on the forum. The others who have emailed or PM me thanks as well. We have 13 interested parties who are serious about a purchase. Some have express further interest by way of wishing to make a deposit NOW. As we know the RRP will be 8995.00 the group buy will be substantially less. One of the conditions of the powerbuy wil be no posting on this forum about the ACTUAL price we pay. A number :ph34r: of units will be coming very soon. This will be within the first two weeks of February. Since its the 1st Feb. now it wont be too long. The actual price and terms of the powerbuy are still being discussed at the moment. When they actually land here in OZ then we can really talk turkey. When the final figure comes in ????? I will let you know by way of invitation, you can email me or PM. kx1840s@hotmail.com I will be contacting the appropiate people tommorow. Spread the word guys on the powerbuy. Let your friends know who are in the market for this fine PJ about the relevant links so they can pre educate themselves. From all accounts around the globe from other enthusiasts sites/forums. This PJ is going to be a killer! Thanks Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benthx Posted February 3, 2007 Author Share Posted February 3, 2007 A very resounding comment from the German site. We all know how fussy and thorough they are. http://www.cine4home.com/Specials/JVC_HD1/HD1Preview.htm It almost seems as if JVC succeeded in making the "perfect projector", given the present technological possibilities. And after our first impression this is almost true. If one would ask us what we ourselves would wish for with this machine, we can (at present!) only think of an electrical zoom & focus (manually adjustable with the HD1), as well as more inputs. Apart from that, there is nothing to wish for. More to come on monday about powerbuy details Stay tuned Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benthx Posted February 5, 2007 Author Share Posted February 5, 2007 Hello Guys It appears at the moment the demand for this PJ even before it hit the stores is greater than the supply. This leaves us with a situation of waiting perhaps a little longer than anticipated. For those of us desperate to purchase asap. We may be fighting amoungst ourselves or the dealers will be. The dealers being aware of this may be less inclinded to negotiate price. But needless to say I am am happy with the current pricing. I will be receiving some more information late today (perth time). So what I am saying is if you really want in on this PJ make a decision soon (and yes you need the price). The first shipment I understand :ph34r: is already gone. The Government has place a significant order as well. Let alone what we need and the sales to follow (normal retail sales) as a result. Stay tuned Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benthx Posted February 5, 2007 Author Share Posted February 5, 2007 We do have a confirmed price now guys! It includes GST and delivered to your door no matter which state you reside. Any warranty issues will be handled with your local JVC service center. I, however being a hard negotiator will try for a few % points less. The two other parties have been given till Wednesday 5.00pm. I have discussed theoretical pricing with a few members. Its good to see this theory proven. Roll on!

Jus1503561049 Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 (edited) Hi guys, I spoke to Ben(benthx) earlier today and he asked me to pass on a message to the effect that he will be offline for the next couple of days due to some ISP problems. I can confirm that the firm price we have from one vendor is very good and contingent on an order of 10 units, NO LESS! I've verified this myself, I can also add that Ben is pushing for a further 2.5 % discount off the RRP from other parties he has approached, which if successful takes the total discount to a very, very nice figure of $ . Anyone wanting the current firm figure feel free to email me at justin_d@exemail.com.au I've been following this projector since the demonstration of a prototype at Cedia 06, and IMHO the current price we have is excellent based on the potential performance on offer and a further improvement on pricing would be icing on an already terribly sweet cake . I'm sure Ben would agree that all those that are seriously interested and are on his group buy list please make ready a deposit to the amount of 20% of our purchase price. As Ben mentioned he has given the other vendors till 5pm tomoz to make their final offers, if they in fact beat our current group buy price he or I will go back to the original dealer and give them the chance to match the better offer. If Ben can't do this Thursday I'll look after it personally and post the outcome Thursday night. Cheers, Jus.

OzHTfan Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 I would be tempted to trade a newly installed(last week)+ pro calibrated, VPL-VW50 on one of these units if I could find a retailer in Sydney who does that. However, JVC doesn't seem to have the best retail outlet support and I doubt the one place that I have traded PJ's at in the past is going to stock them. I may make a call, just for the heck of it in case they do. What I've read and seen today from the UK on the first of these to go out has been has reignited my interest...

All will be changing next week. Those that thought this PJ may be out of their price bracket may be shocked to see how good a true price it will be. The collective (us) wins again.

benthx Posted February 8, 2007 Author Share Posted February 8, 2007 What sort of numbers do you have at the moment? That is a STATE secret. The numbers are sufficient to entitle us to a very generous discount. PM me if you didnt get the current price. I think its a point worth mentioning that soon we will be ending the powerbuy and getting it under wraps. It will be time to place the order. Thanks to everyone so far. A good price for you is a good price for everyone. Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
