I'll have another go at this....

Solely due to a PVR upgrade, I am selling my Sony SVRHD900 250GB PVR. The RRP is $1099, from memory, I paid around $1200 for it in November. I initially had it for sale at $700, then $600 as I had no serious bites and so it's now priced at $500. Yes, that's right, $500! It's in a 'as good as new' condition, I look after my stuff and I have dealt with a couple of members of this forum before if you're cautious. I don't have an ebay account, so am trying to avoid the hassle.

I have all of the boxes and packaging including manuals and warranty rubbish, err, papers.

It's easier if you're in Perth, but I will courier it (at additional cost) interstate if you wish.

Here's the sales pitch from Sony's PULSE magazine:

Hi Simon - May I please ask as to what PVR you are upgrading to? Many thanks and regards

I am tempted simon.

BeyonWiz!!

Do you always pay more than RRP????

Just kidding...good luck Simon

Sorry guys, been up north for a couple of days.


Haha, fair comment, but I worded it badly. I meant that I paid about $1200 last year, but the RRP is now $1099.

AntLeanne, as Lyle so gleefully pointed out, the Beyonwiz DP-S1, have had it for over a month.

Wheelz, how tempted? Give me a call one evening if you want to discuss, if you still have my number.

Simon....

I'm interested too - shoot us your number if you can, cause for the life of me I can't get this thing to let me send private messages!

Sorry, can't PM you yet due to the issue Lyle's posted. I'm also not about to put my number or email address on the system :ph34r: , 'cos I am a shy little sunflower (Lyle, control yourself). We'll see what Wheelz says and then I will contact you to meet in some shady carpark somewhere . Seriously though, we'll sort it if Wheelz doesn't snap it up at this price.

Simon....

I just need to add the obligatory DTV

"WOW that is a great price for a great bit of equipment . Someone out there is going to get a great bargain !!!!"

Simon might be best to sell it to Mode,im still not 100% sure,i'd hate you to miss a sale.

thanks anyway

Cool, thanks Wheelz. Am PM'ing Mode as he's now sorted with his post count.

Simon....

This i can vouch for !

Quite happy with my dealings..... Don't quite get the screen name though

??? I think you have me confused with someone else, as I don't recall your name?


I don't understand this?

Simon....

Has it been sold yet?

Hmm, yes you're right... was a different Simon

Don't mind me and my brain fart.

Not yet, but am taking it around to 'Mode' this afternoon. Will let you know either way this evening.

Cheers,

Simon....

No problem


Wondered what the smell was, thought it was Wheelz!

Simon....

Guys, 'Mode' has indicated that he will give me a call this weekend to do the cash transaction.

Cheers,

Simon....

Just for the record, I bought it on the 4th of September for $1388. Ooops, must be the Tardis, I could have sworn it was Nov! Mode was gracious enough to say "I guess you could look at it as being used for an extra 2 months and therefore be even less likely to go wrong!". He's been and collected it and $500 changed hands. Thanks mate.

Simon....

PS: Can someone enlighten me as to how I change the topic title? I can't figure it out for the life of me!

Simple... go to the off-topic forums and make another 1500 posts, and then you'll be granted the ability to edit your posts that are more than 24 hours old.
