karlie Posted November 13, 2006 Author Posted November 13, 2006 *Bump* Guys help me help you buy this projector. What is it that makes you go away?
whowillbe Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 well its always about the price isn't it??? :P
karlie Posted December 10, 2006 Author Posted December 10, 2006 BUMP (price reduced) I will end up selimg it on ebay :P
desray Posted December 11, 2006 Posted December 11, 2006 bro, if you keep reducing your price like this...it only goes to show how desperate you want to sell the set only. Be prudent. Just my 2 cents. Wait it out...
karlie Posted December 13, 2006 Author Posted December 13, 2006 Thanks Desray, in fact you are right, I will put the price back up; I shall put a higher price since anyway I have never seen a Singaporean offer the price that is asked for. BTW: I am not deseperately in need of cash (although more would be welcomed); but i have no use for the projector, and it takes space... ;)
karlie Posted December 13, 2006 Author Posted December 13, 2006 this must be a first ;) *lol* Hey you know what is important in advertising: it is to get the attention by any mean. Once at a charity event at my school (loooong loong time ago in a country far far away), the annouced on the PA system: "and for 15 minutes only, the model car shop will be giving you special offer not to be missed! so hurry hup now for our special offer get 2 for the price of 3! hurry up, it is a limited offer!" And people rushed to buy....
Quest88 Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 this is bad news for me too. i might be looking to sell my optoma projector. :) looks like nobody in the market for one?
htfreak Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 Look at it this way, all electronics items have a shelf life and will depreciate over time. However, when things becomes obsolete by a few generations and being out of warranty, how many people would be willing to spend anything above a few hundred dollars to take a risk on your item becoming a lemon shortly thereafter. The HS10 is considered a great grand father in the HS series as it has spawn the HS-20, HS-50 and now HS-61. Word of advice for anyone looking to sell their projectors, follow what Desray is doing, let it go soon after the new model is released and you might still get a good value for it. Drag it out of warranty, you'll be lucky if it does not end up as a good door stopper. Enough of my ramblings and back to the sale. Lai ah lai ah.. Projector Da Pai Mai ah.
game_goondu Posted December 14, 2006 Posted December 14, 2006 if after some time and there is still no takers... i can only suggest put your item up for bidding in as many website as possible. start at a very very low price. set your reserve price. from there you should be able to gauge the actual price that buyers are ACTUALLY willing to pay.
Audio Posted December 14, 2006 Posted December 14, 2006 Selling projectors is one of the more difficult thing to do...... Basically, Singaporeans do not like projectors. I sold my HS20 for almost 25% of my purchase price. Very few people understand the value.....the one who bought from me is one happy man :) (Audio)
civicguy Posted December 14, 2006 Posted December 14, 2006 Such is the pain involved in buying a HT system Buy easy Sell difficult ;D
game_goondu Posted December 14, 2006 Posted December 14, 2006 Buy easy Sell at the price you want is difficult
audionoob1624705779 Posted December 14, 2006 Posted December 14, 2006 Buy easy Sell at the price you want is difficult It doesn't help that new model is better and yet cheaper. For example the Mit HD1000, a 720p DLP, can be had for $1700 incl shipping.......I lost alot of money selling my last pj :-[ Maybe Karlie you can try ebay or something.......
karlie Posted December 14, 2006 Author Posted December 14, 2006 I will put it on ebay. But the last time I put things on ebay, people of xtremeplace were complaining it was "too difficult, lah"
desray Posted December 14, 2006 Posted December 14, 2006 ...Word of advice for anyone looking to sell their projectors, follow what Desray is doing, let it go soon after the new model is released and you might still get a good value for it. Drag it out of warranty, you'll be lucky if it does not end up as a good door stopper..." That's what I usually do...and it gets me going so far in a way that I can play with many brands and models...the idea is not to wait for 3 years down the road and expect to fetch a good price...by then newer model will surface and more often than not, the model you are holding will be discontinued (its been a trend always especially so for Panasonic Projectors - now what AE900 has now been replaced by AX100?!) Phew! But one thing about Panny Projector is the fact that their price remain pretty much the same even though its a newer model...and guess what only Contrast Ratio, additional HDMI ports and perhaps the more recent change of D4 to D5 LCD Panel so on and so forth... Now I will most probably be like Jag, stay down for awhile to wait for the price to be stable for DLP 16:9 (1920 x 1080p) based Projectors in the market and grab it. A reasonable price range should be around $5 - 6K max. Anything more means we're actually paying for the premium as early adopters.
tsammyc Posted December 14, 2006 Posted December 14, 2006 The question Des is whether you or Jag has higher depreciation? My guess is that it is about the same, while you got to play with a lot more projectors :) It seems to work this way with cars. I always thought that my friend who changes his car every year (he occasionally browses this forum) was extravagant, while I tend to change every 5 years or more. However, when we sat down to compare the yearly depreciation he exprienced against mine, it was the same!
Quest88 Posted December 14, 2006 Posted December 14, 2006 for cars in the last 5 years, that might be true cos of the COE fluctuation. but shouldn't happen usually as most cars depreciate more in the 1st year. anyway, that assumption only applies if u continually buy stuff in the same price category.
karlie Posted December 15, 2006 Author Posted December 15, 2006 Most products depreciate more in the first year. After 2 years it will already be rock-bottom. After 3 years it depends more on the state of the thing (was it nicely take care of, any defect, any problems, repairs, etc)
Jag Posted December 16, 2006 Posted December 16, 2006 Changing and selling stuff every new generation or using it till it for long time, depreciation actually stays the same. Depreciation is not top important factor since electronics get obsolete rather quickly and thats expected from day one. Its obsolete the minute we pay for it. :P I would want to get a good projector that can last for at least 3-4yrs, and I dun hope to get a resale value out from it when that time comes. But in that 3-4yrs, I know I get full satisfaction and I dun worry about the hassles of selling it on the 2nd hand market (I hate that hassle, especiallly in the small and expert-filled market like HT pjs).
