Are the pre modded radios still available to be purchased?

Yes, But I'm not currently taking orders. (If that makes any sense :ror

 

[Synister_Intent]

Any idea when you will be accepting orders again?

I should have a better idea in a couple days. But anywhere from a week to a month.

I'm in the process of transferring all of my products, orders, and customer accounts to a new website. Once that is done, I'll start taking orders again.

 

[Synister_Intent]

Will you be making an announcement when order resume?

Yes

So, I really don't understand this phenomena. But I get more "when will this be back in stock" emails when I'm not taking orders, than I get actual orders when they are in stock.

Anyways, just to post publicly somewhere. I should have a pretty good idea by the end of the week when I'll start taking orders again....I have inventory, but need to figure out how to get everything migrated over so I need my order/customer history to stay static (no changes) until I can get everything migrated. The main time haggle is that I want to merge sales from three different websites into my new website so I can say goodbye for ever to my past sites.

I have some database knowledge, But I'll probably break something trying to write script to transfer everything. So I'm seeing how much it'll cost to have someone else do it. And they're not very quick to reply.

People always want, then never have the $ when the time comes. Its similar with group buys

I should start going out of stock afew days a month to promote that "I gotta have" fever. :twisted:

 

[spoo76]

Would be no different than typical marketing at any other retailers lol

Except I'm way to lazy to market/promote/advertise.

So I just set stuff at the lowest price I can accept and hope it sells well.

So are you really out of stock, just got a gt3c for $20 and wanna hack it.
Went to site, no luck there, patiently waiting.

Yes, I'm out of stock. I'm lacking a functional website.

I have plenty of inventory though, just no where to sell.

And I'm not taking any orders through email. I am way to lazy to have todo manual entry.

But I should have an operating website by the end of the month, hopefully next week.

Whooo hoooo. I'm ready to order another 2. Mine has worked flawlessly for almost 2 years and time to replace the kids crawler radios.

 

[jonrobertd]

Excellent, I will be here.

Glad to hear, as I am wanting to get a hack kit.

Cheers,

Just one more post from someone who's looking forward to you getting back up and running. Canadian dollar is making ordering things in USD pretty pricey but I could really use a couple extra channels on my Turnigy gtx3 so I might have to bite the bullet..

I've never understood this.

Shouldn't all prices be relative to avg cost of living?

I mean, I understand that a canadian "dollar" is worth less than an usa dollar. But wouldn't that mean everything is more pricey in canada? Or is the cost of living cheaper in canada and a gallon milk in canada is the same amount of canadian dollars as american dollars if one was to buy milk in the US?

 

[QuesoDelDiablo]

It's would be nice if that's how it worked but it's more or less the opposite.

Using a gallon of milk as an example, we pay about 4.50-5.00CAD, which equates to about 3.75-4.00USD. I don't know US milk prices but I believe you pay less than that.

Gas is another good example, we pay about $4.00/gal CAD which equates to about $3.00USD

Wages are slightly higher in local currency but not the 30-40% that it would take to offset the difference. I run a plant in NC as well one here in Canada, in NC starting wage is in USD is roughly the same as here in CAD, ie here they start around 14 and down there they start around 12, but milk is cheaper down there..

 

[losikid]

So, it sounds like after shipping expenses are accounted for it'd probably be the same price if someone in canada was doing this.
