I doubt there will be much off the price D & C.

For selling of av gear http://www.avforums.com/home/classifieds.html
Thanks. In the worst case I'll just have a load of spare bridges to sell on ebay to make up the discount.

Will I get a better price on avforums than, say ebay, being I have no idea how much the stuff is worth? (I'm fully aware of the ebay risks?)
Hard to say regarding prices. Use the Search tool within the relevant AVF classifieds section and you'll be able to see how much recent Sonos items went for.

In my opinion (and I've done about 50 trades on AVF without a hitch) it is safer than eBay.

So sorry.

Mad busy.

Sonos Sulking and not talking to me at the moment, but I really want to do this for PH collective. So, despite the margins being stupidly low anyway I am going to work on some prices for you all over the weekend with a view making them available on Sunday night or Monday morning.

But they will not be published here and I ask that they are not released into the wild, I need to keep this sensible and manageable otherwise I will not be able to cope with the volume or processing and we'll all suffer. It has also been suggested that it is limited to those members with 100 posts or more again to stop a rush of internerds trying to buy, which I think is sensible.

Hope that makes sense and you can understand my caution etc.

Fingers crossed for Sunday evening.

V.

Please feel free to comment.

Group buys are never easy (I've done a few) so thank you for trying to make it work.

Hope to hear good news soon!

I was going to order one and get the free bridge but I recon I'd get next to nothing for it on ebay?

Chris, that all makes sense to me. I have quite the shopping list at the ready for you!

How will you be making contact, if not via the forum?

If you're PM'ing out that sounds like a plan to me - def getting a Play 1, maybe x 2 and possibly a Play 5 if there are deals to be squeezed out of Sonos.

We always wanted to put another Sonos in the guest room but buying a 3 or 5 is a bit excessive considering the amount of times it'll get used, the 1 is going to fill that gap perfectly!

ETA - where are my manners - cheers muchly for looking into this!

I reckon I'd be looking for a connect and either a play:1 or play:3 all would depend costs

If this works, here is what I am thinking of.

Everything in the Sonos range will be available.
And even with shipping and the free bridge, there will be savings.
(Please don't get to excited, there is even less money in the Play:1 than the rest of the range!)

Only open to people who have been PH members for 3 months or more. (Protection from an Internet deluge)
The offer may be time or volume limited, this is just to help me manage the potential flood.

Money transfer only, there isn't enough it this for credit card fees or even the time to process them. For anyone who is cautious there are plenty on here who would vouch for me and my reputation etc.

That is all for now.

AND PLEASE REMEMBER THIS MAY ALL FALL FLAT ON ITS FACE,
but if it does it is not for trying.
