How to sell these WEGA 32"

[pennypinch]

OK, I've finalized the deal on the 32" WEGA TV's. I guess I'm looking for a method of selling them to you folks that are interested...I am looking at a pretty decent discount, but I'm only looking at getting two extras. I'm not really interested in making money, but I'd rather not go through the trouble of shipping this thing...unless someone REALLY wants it badly.
Any suggestions for methods? I'd rather not get into an auction. I'm thinking kind of like a priceline kind of thing, best two offers win?

[ugly]

what?! how did you end up getting two WEGAs?

[pennypinch]

Aww, baby, I got my sources! Why ask why? I have two to sell.

[pennypinch]

Ugly, wasn't it you that was looking for one earlier? Where did you find the best price on them? Every where I look only has 27", or sells at MSRP. I simply assume SOMEONE has them at a discount...

[ugly]

Heh heh!

Nope, not me. Doofy was looking for a WEGA. Contact him.

[Butch]

PENNY . . . Hmmmm . . . I'm putting it all together now . . . you've got discounted TVs yer trying to sell on THIS thread . . . and on that OTHER thread, you're asking questions about jumping bail . . . it's alllll coming together now . . .

[spigidygak]

Are these brand new or opened? Also around how much you thinking?

[kame]

I am looking for one.....

What price range ya looking at? Remember ya tell us ya dont wnat to make money on this rite??? I be happy to take it off your hand...

[pennypinch]

Yeah, these are brand new. Unopened, unreburbished. I am still trying to lock down the exact model, so I'll let you know how much I'll give them to you for. Does anyone know how much it would cost to ship a TV somewhere, or should I just restrict this SoCal Apexers?
Butch, you've figured me out! It's a gamble, I figure if I steal these TV's and make a mint, there's a 50/50 chance I'll get caught. So if I overpay my bail w/ the money, maybe they'll just lose track of it!

Hey, folks, maybe post a range of prices you've seen so I have a better idea just how good this deal is. Maybe I'm getting screwed here...We're looking for all WEGA models between the KV-32 SF12 through to the KV-32 FV16. Sorry, again, still trying to figure out which TV I can buy and which one I can't.

I'm looking for a WEGA, but not a 32" model. Besides, I'm from NYC. Too much of a hassle to get those things shipped.

Were you looking for the 36 or the 27?
Also, could you forward me a list of places you found representative prices at? Thanks!

Sorry I am a little short on details, folks, the person I'm dealing with isn't the most knowledgeable, making it rather tough to nail down this deal. Hopefully, by Monday (at the latest) I'll have this thing properly rolled out.

[pennypinch]

OK, saw this thread: http://www.gotapex.com/ubb/Forum9/HTML/000431.html
Kame, I know you're somewhat interested...do you know which models you were talking about? If these are the ones I'm thinking of, then yes, I have a very good deal. I just assume these are the KV32 FV16?

[MaStAYoDA1]

What price range are you looking towards Pennypinch?

[att]

hey, if you're able to beat $1300 for a 36" and $1150 for the 32", you are getting an excellent deal. maybe an incredible deal, most people arent able to get these without getting on a waiting list for 2 or 3 months and dont even care about the price, so if you can get them in a couple weeks at better prices than those above, you should be receiving an amazing amount of interested buyers. if i didnt have 2 new tv's(one is a wega) i would buy them both!

[pennypinch]

To answer both, yes, I can definitely beat $1150. Hold onto yer horses, folks, I'm still workin, here.

[Apex]

Bud, it's a ROYAL pain to ship. Believe you me. I went to a local fedex drop location to ask how much shipping that 21" Nokia monitor (to the person who won it in our last contest) was. They wanted $243 UNINSURED for the most economical method for that 81lb package, because of the size. A 32" TV will absolutely kill you if you don't have some sort of corporate account with volume discounts. With UPS not taking packages that size, and USPS not either, and Fedex buying out RPS, you're going to be hard pressed.

Man, wish I had the excess funds to buy one.

[Apex]

Ugh, that's tempting. Hmm, what to do with the 36".

[Pdizog]

I guess the people living closest to pennypinch gets the first bid. Where do you live?

[jiggy]

I was actually willing to pay $999 (no tax i'm assuming) for the KV32-FV16 but the shipping cost is gunna sour the whole deal. Would anyone believe me if I told you guys that a friend of mine manage to snag an open item 36" wega (no xbr) for 574 bux? Lucky bastard.

[pennypinch]

I live in southern California. If you SD folks are willing to wait, I'll be visiting someone there in late august and in late Sept, so I'll even deliver! How's that for service with a smile. Want me to tease? I got jiggy beat too...still workin', patience grasshoppers.

[jiggy]

pennypinch,
I live in Santa Ana. If the deal is really damn good and you live close enough, I can pick it up.

[pennypinch]

Santa Ana...where is that? I live in Downtown LA, I know Santa Ana is around LA somewhere...
What I think I'll do is probably just publish a price I'll sell at, figure out how many people are interested. I'll investigate how realistic it is to ship this mother somewhere (Apex makes it sound like it's not really reasonable, but then again, if it's this baby's selling for MSRP in some parts of the country, I think it'd still be cheaper.) Whatever. If there are more interested buyers than TV's, I'll come up with some humdinger of a contest. Anyone have a better idea?

[pennypinch]

OK, almost there...
need a little more information. At what price is a KV-32FS12 a good deal. What is the difference between this and the KV-32FV16? I can see on the sony website, but frankly, I'm not a videophile. Can anyone explain it to me in plain english? I look forward to your guys' response.

[jiggy]

I'm not exactly sure but the KV32-FV12 usually sells for about 300-500 more than KV32-FV16. And also, the KV32-FV16 has PIP and i think the FS12 doesn't.

[MaStAYoDA1]

I live in San Diego, whenever u do decide to sell those wega's, email me @ [email protected]

[Apex]

The KV-32FV16 has side speakers (and better ones), a monitor output, 2 tuner PIP, and extra S-video imput in front, and is a whopping 176lbs (as compared to the KV-32FS12's mere 165lbs...hehe).

Then there's the mothership, the KV-32XBR400. That one is 1080i, 720p, 420i, and 420p compliant, and has their top of the line FD based WEGA XBR tube. Of course, this one is a tad pricier.

Oops, and to finish answering:

A reasonably good price (though not the best):

Crazy Eddie's:

KV-32FS12 - $899.95
KV-32FV16 - $1099.95

Okay, I'm not as much as a TV junkie as all you guys. What's the big deal about WEGA TVs?

[spigidygak]

True flat screen, higher resolution and mucho better picture overall. Almost like having a trinitron computer monitor. Only weakness is geometry on screen can be crappy on some models (text is hard to read on some). Other than that. . . its a pretty damn good set for not being plasma.

[Y2J]

OK, jabroni, $50 and not a dime more. You are pushing your luck trying to sell those for more than 1/2 a franklin

hehe, don't worry, I won a free 20" from altavista 500,000 point promotion

[spigidygak]

^BUMP^ /me wonders whatever happened to pennypinch and his extra wega's
