G4 (w/ phase2) on sale (RR)

[ecarvalho]

Hey guys
Just letting you know I'm letting my G4 go. I have a G5 and haven't used the G4 for anything. It's collecting dust on my desk currently.

Best!

I think your price is too high. I can get a brand new one at Ray's for $5 more.

 

[baj76]

Good luck with that

 

[ecarvalho]

I know that for $5 more you can get a new G4 at Rays. For $5 less you can get mine!

FYI:
Price is firm.

Not only that, you get a warranty when you buy new. That's worth more than the 5 dollar savings.

Yes I understand. Unfortunately I paid Rays over 600 for this G4 back when that was the price. Nobody’s fault of course but I’m also in no rush to sell and if doesn’t sell its ok too. So I’m not concerned about offering a lower price at this point.

As I said before, the price is firm.

Of course, it is your choice to set a price. But, what you paid for it is irrelevant. When selling used gear you need to take into account today's pricing. There is a sucker born every minute so maybe you will have some luck with your pricing model :wink:

I was thinking of offering you 558.99, but since your pricing is firm, oh well.

Also a power adapter which, for some reason, this one for sale doesn't have according to the eBay listing.

Actually you can get a brand new one at Ray's for $24.49 less since they are having a $30 off sale till the end of September.

In general, I use a rule of "thirds" when considering the purchase of used equipment. I simply divide the list price (new) by three and make that my limit. A major exception is the purchase of "refurbished" items from major trusted dealers. Also, I would never buy a used (or new) product from family, friends, or neighbors.

 

[ecarvalho]

I’ve considered all of your feedback and I decided to lower the price - You guys are right. Makes no sense to buy it if it costs as much as a new one.

I will ping Rays to see if he would extend and transfer the warranty to a new owner given the fact the radio is nearly new.

My apologies for being rough. Thanks for looking at least.

Note: I haven’t updated the price on RR yet.

Unication is also pretty good at working with customers. So transfer of a warranty should be something that can be accomplished.

Just a point of reference, I got my 2 month old (at the time) G5 for $495 on ebay. It was 2 months old, and although it didn't come with a box, it did have the USB charging adapter.

The guy started at $590, refused my offers and eventually lowered the price to below my last offer of $500 because he wasn't getting any other bites, which is when I snatched it up. Not saying the G4 isn't worth $515, but the market may not support it.

 

[ecarvalho]

was it phase2?

No, that was actually my sticking point with the guy selling it. The upgrade would have put it at a price point higher than new phase II units were selling for. When I went to do the upgrade purchase, there was a problem with the website and Unication customer service comped the upgrade for me, so all I had to pay was shipping. Having phase II really isn't a selling point anymore, since it is now a free update.

There is a tool on the Unication website that allows you to search for your dealer by serial number, I believe that is for warranty transfer, so I think they honor warranties across owners.

 

[ecarvalho]

Yes. The warranty follows the radio serial not the owner. Warranty service goes through the dealer, in this case, Ray's.

The fact that it has Phase II is irrelevant as the new Phase II upgrade is free. If I needed one I would purchase it at your updated price.
