Since preorders are being filled......

Would any of you guys have the balls to flip your renaissance on ebay auction style with a reserve price? Prior to it's release which could be any day.... They haven't been released officially yet so you'd still make a profit due to the demand. I told you guys I will recop but not until 1. the price drops 2. people start selling them on ebay once the masses who suffer from gearlust purchase it and don't like it. 3. I spot a local craigslist come up.

I only ask because I know you just got it..... and you've been waiting for it.... but I just hate the fact that folks are going to be going APEISH... over bugs and arguing how the maschine is better... 64 bit this..... shift button that.... and blah.... blah... blah... whining on the forums about nonsense...RTFM and don't feed the trolls

If you did buy one of ebay that was registered, how would that work?
Could you even use it?

I think they will be widely available within like 2 weeks anyway.

Akai will transfer registration to the next user...the current owner would just shoot them (akai) an email requesting it with your serial # daytime phone, address, and email address. It's still early so they haven't even updated ANYTHING to the site that lets users know about this..... smh...
good question though.

I think because it can be replaced in a couple of weeks most would have their price. 2 weeks are going to pass whether you make money during that time or not.

ok... flipping something and making a profit, making money? why would that take balls? I'd sell anything if people were willing to buy it for more than then I paid. It's not like it's going to be difficult buy another Ren in a few weeks. If people are really going to buy the Ren for $500 more than it cost then hell yeah, I'll throw mine on Ebay in a second but I doubt by next week people are going to be that dumb to pay that much.

IJS.... there are 1 day, 3 day auctions... add a reserve and... winner winner chicken dinner. There is still a HIGH demand for them and people will pay. I didn't get worldwide messages and offers for no reason.

So how much would you have to charge for overseas shipping with delivery confirmation?
Since ebay won't protect u w/o it ?

$120.00-$150 depending on where it's going, but only ship to a CONFIRMED address. Of the few worldwide shipping I've done I"ve never had a problem.

USPS? fed ex and ups might be more than that?

Damn all these websites keep delaying their shipment dates, very few people even have the Ren besides a few MF customers and some GC customers in the middle of the country, I'm bout to throw that REN on eBay for $3000 lmaoooo, You can have one now.... OR WAIT UNTIL BLACK FRIDAY and they MIGHT be in stores by then lol

@ dorsey: I used UPS for shipping to London and Mikonos... I weighed the packages on my "body scale" lol and plugged the weight in their online estimator.


@ InspectahEX: In all actuality you could probably get $2000 imo...... if you make the auction 1 or 3 days with a reserve.... or... add free worldwide shipping with a ridiculous buy it now price.... Auction would be better though... way more bids...Warning... you will get crazy offers
