vortech mp40w update

[robalv]

Looking for people to go in on a group buy...
As it stands I have located a supplier that will work a price up
Regular price is 375.00 gen 2 plus 75.00 for the upgrade driver and a 25.00 rebate
you don't have to get the upgrade for the 375.00. The driver will sell for 100.00 after
The end of the month.

I will contact the supplier once I get some folks together. He has 10 in stock.
Once I get some commitments I will give you all the info via PM.
Thanks.
ROB.

Will order Monday since no interest

arggg.. Where were you about 1 month ago.. When we bought 2... Regular Price!



We just now need to get the upgrade with the rebate...

[robalv]

I will check if it is available without the purchase of a new one.

[Pennies2Cents]

Yea, that would be cool if you can if not no problem.

[chunkymonkey]

wow, I just saw a bunch of the videos for that thing. If I had the extra cash at the moment, I would definitely buy.

[robalv]

If anyone has purchased one from the beggening of this year and still have the reciept and upc code from the box you can purchase the upgrade from ECOTEC for 75.00 and receive a 25.00 rebate.

[robalv]

I need 12 people to get a better price about 100 bucks off retail

[brewercm]

Can you just get the upgrade from the MP20 to the MP40W on this deal by chance, if so I might be in.

[robalv]

Retail is 420-430 elsewhere ... this is the deal, We would need to buy 12 units and we will pay 320 I think he said....lol upgrade is 75. and a 25 rebate thru ecotec so the trick is getting 12 sold. He wants one payment for the lot to be shipped to one location.

I don't see a better deal anywhere. I confirmed less than 20 in stock, needless to say we need to move on this. If nothing I will order mine on Wednesday 21st.

[robalv]

pmed interested parties... need to collect by monday.

[Europhyllia]

how close are you to meeting the 12 units minimum?

[robalv]

Only my 1, have not heard from anyone else.

[aggman]

did you confirm the price for these? is the vendor wanting $375 or $320. $375 sounds right, the $320 sounds like a miscommunication. i have not spoken to a vendor, will sell them that low. i can guarantee, and gabe can probably vouch for this, if he is he's losing $$$. also, the ecotech map policy does not allow for public posting of prices below map [$420].

just fyi, these group buys don't usually work out on maast. everyone wants them below wholesale. pennies2cents tried it, so did i twice, non of the 'interested parties' ever coughed up the dough.

[robalv]

I am GUARANTEED a price of 360 shipped...If you want to pay full retail be my guest.. I have confirmed that this vendor is legit.. I am sure he is getting rid of his old stock to stock the new model which is the upgraded driver only .. you will get a rebate for from him to purchase direct from Ecotech.

The upgrade is $75 till the end of the month, It is back ordered so will take some time to get it. The price will then go back to $100. So $75 minus the $25 rebate then you sell your old driver to someone else for 30-40 maybe even 50 bucks = $0-$10 for the upgrade.. duhhhh its a no brainier. just trying to get a good buy out there. the price would go down to $320 plus shipping if we purchased 12 units... in or out makes no difference to me .

The vendor is legit. I purchased my previous 2 Vortechs from him at a significant discount last January. Yes he did post the MAP prices on his site like he was supposed to but he was open to negotiaton.
I am very happy with my purchase from January and would (actually I will :D ) purchase from that vendor again

[robalv]

thanks Karin

Order on Monday since no interest
