The Price is Right ? X1000 come on down !
Re: The Price is Right ? X1000 come on down !
As Tension mentioned, very interesting observations.
I'm in the middle on the X1000. Targeting the geek market can be pretty risky. Geeks can be hit or miss sometimes. If the geeks like it, then how long the X1000 will survive would still be uncertain. Sometimes geeks have money and sometimes they do not, so the high price could be a decision making factor for some.
If the X1000 can hit within the middle to upper range of modern Intel systems, then it's chances can improve.
Certain elements of the X1000 are reminding me of the NeXT workstation. Steve left Apple, created the NeXT, which was very! expensive at the time, yet it survived and is now Mac OS X. So we shouldn't under-estimate the geeks.
Price is a tough area to predict. Apple, and other companies, have shown that high price is acceptable if the product is seen as unique, cool, different, etc by the buyer.

2nd Hand Sellers Terms
Ah but a buy it now suffers from the dangerous ploy, of an anti-competitive zero day bidder/buyer/seller with a do you post to Nigeria question afterwards. U have to re-list and thats a pain. Less than 10 normally weeds them out. Then again you can get bid up and out the same way but a least you have more time to check them over.Quote:Originally Posted by tone007
Reserve? How tacky. Generally, I personally go with a reasonable buy-it-now price and usually also a best offer option.Posted 03-20-2010 at 06:02 PM by Boudicca

No argument there but alas your first comment is true too....What an Evil Web We Weave! Only one thing for it.......publish and be damned, with a high enough reserve, a contact number, a right to remove disclaimer and be sure its advertised elsewhere covers all sins.Quote:Originally Posted by tone007
A better question would be "who buys on eBay?" and a partial answer to that is people looking for hard to find items that someone somewhere in the world must have for sale.
Why not make an item available where you're most likely to sell it? Should everyone list their respective collections on a local bulletin board and hope for the best?Posted 03-20-2010 at 05:52 PM by Boudicca

Sky Satellite is Crap!
Well, we've got Sky+HD now, and it is excellent, although there is not enough HD content yet.
The new EPG is really superb, and the PVR features are excellent. Also, you can schedule programs from your iPhone ;-)Posted 02-04-2010 at 01:46 AM by xeron

Thats a shame. In our old house we used to lose our sky signal in heavy rain storms. The sky bloke put a new lnb in and that fixed it.
We've now moved, and have a similar problem, but its not so bad.Posted 09-14-2009 at 01:57 AM by xeron
