Re: AVELECTRONIC GROUP BUY

just buy em off Ebay. You most you'll pay is $340 shipped and that's better than what you'll get from Avelectronics, even with a group buy.

Re: AVELECTRONIC GROUP BUY

I contacted the sales guys at avelectronic notifying them that we can setup a group buy for the g35 and 350z community and they said they are not interested in group buys.

Did you respond, "Well screw you then, we're all going to buy the cheaper ones on eBay?"

Re: AVELECTRONIC GROUP BUY

BigappleVIP, looking at the instructions on the 'instructions' post and comparing them to the ones posted on EBay I say you're good to go. The idea that 2 units that look exactly the same and come with the same instructions end up being different just doesn't add up to me. Also noticed his price went up a bit, might be running low on inventory. I think you got a solid buy, but please let us know how it turns out.

LoL - No I didn't bother to reply.

Here is my message to them:
---------------------------------------------------------
Hi,

I wanted to find out if you would be willing to offer OEM prices in a
group buy from the members of the G35 and 350z community, spanning 4
different message boards. We have a large group of dedicated owners, many
who own the stock DVD system and are interested in aftermarket
modifications such as this unit. However, the current $525 retail price is
very steep and many haven't jumped in to buy it.

If it is possible to have a group buy arrangement, please let me know what
the prices are and the required amount of purchasers. If you can offer our
community a significant discount I will gladly drum up interest on your
behalf on the 4 major message boards to arrange this group buy.

Thanks much,

- Mike
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is their reply:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Mike,

Thanks for the inquiry. Unfortunately, we will not be offering any group
buy. Our systems are price in the low end side comparing to others with even
less features than ours.

Thanks,
AVElectronic, Inc.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

They don't look very interested to me, which is pretty disappointing. I basically offered to arrange the group buy by going to not one but four message boards (my350z/freshalloy/6mt/g35) to get sales for them. I'm sure their margin on these units is very high and if they were to support the community with good deals, they would gain additional sales in the future.... As is, I don't think I even want to purchase a unit from them directly anymore since their reply is so cold, e.g. "i don't care about your community"

Grubbs sure seems to be doing OK even though they offer VPP to forum members

Re: AVELECTRONIC GROUP BUY

Don't jump in yet, not 100% this is legit. There is some logo in the middle of the box that he's trying to cover up (I asked him for more pics and they were covered up there too). I asked again for some without that area covered up. I will post when I get a chance.

Re: AVELECTRONIC GROUP BUY

OK guys this is the deal. i won 3 different bids on 3 different products all on the same day and paid for them all. i won a car dvd player, Nismo oil cap, and a nav tuner all on Feb 16. got the oil cap on Feb 20, dvd player Feb 22 "the dvd payer is smaller than the crest whitening strip box ".

now i contacted the sell a couple of times and these are the conversations

Paul:
shipping out tomorrow. It didn't ship before I left because my cc bank didn't like me shipping somewhere other than my address. Sorry for the delay.




Bigapplevipebay@aol.com Wrote:
so how in how many days will the product arrive cause i want 2 install it as soon as possible to not only inspect your product but the dvd player you also recommended by the way that think is really small i might have enough room to install it next to the Nav dvd ROM
Paul:

I'm trying to get your order upgraded for Saturday delivery. No promises, but making you wait like this isn't cool. I will have tracking today/torrow at the latest.


Well you know what guys its Saturday and still nothing. so ill you guys judge the buying experience
