probably sold off lineDon't jump to conclusions. I just checked the link and it was removed by the seller due to an error in the listing.
I don’t see a problem with it. Capitalism. Supply and demand.
And those idiots are members on this very forum, bet you wouldn't call them that in their build threads or other posts
I am guilty of escalating this thread....Apologies, but maybe it should be squashed? @Jeight
I would not say it was brs problem, they had like 90 units only.. but I agree with you I do not see your post wrong...Capitalism is one thing gouging is another. I do not think I called anyone an idiot I simple said people "stink" ...I wanted to say alot more but it would have been filtered and rude. There were so many people who wanted one of these and the release was botched by companies **cough BRS** putting them on sale before midnight that one might suggest a conspiracy theory when my LFS who is a APEX dealer did not even get one to sell and they had 75 out before release. Like they weren't going to sell them anyways so they put them out early..why?
Idiot is as idiot does. Anyone who pays $3K for something they can get for $600 in a few week qualifies as 'idiot' in my book. Probably anyone who would do that won't fess up anyhow - I know I wouldn't. Then I'd be the 'fool and his money that soon goes separate ways' as the old ELO song says. I'm all for capitalism, and I get that some people have so much $$ that it doesn't matter ….. but really! It annoys me, not because I could not afford it (though I would not), but because it 'deprives' somebody of one that might provide a useful review or user experience rather than simply price gouging to make a buck. Thumbs down! I get why people might find my perspective annoying or insulting so I'll say nothing further on the subject.
Well said. I do not see BRS at fault here.These threads are getting so old on R2R. Always someone complaing about another spending ridiculous money then resort to calling them names. No need for this stuff. @Jeight why take issue with BRS or someone trying to make money buy selling online? Why not take issue with Neptune for releasing small batches or playing the marketing game? I will never own a Neptune product, I'm not a fan of automation but I've been reading a lot of misplaced anger towards others that in my opinion is just plain wrong. Anyway, I'm done here.
You should have waited another couple years. By 2006 most places I knew were not only giving away VCRs, but also giving away the VHS tapes to avoid taking up space in their dumpsters. Somehow I don't think VHS will experience the nostalgic value that some records have, although I could be wrong.Bought my first VCR back in the 80's for $540. Twenty years later they were $69. Think I'll wait this one out.
I actually think the Apex is over priced as well, although I bought one anyway. I'm surprised there isn't already a cheaper knock off version of the Apex. It's only a matter of time and when it happens they will lower pricing.You should have waited another couple years.

Edit: TBD how long I'm going to wait this one out. Right now I'm in the middle of a slow but long distance relocation, so I only get to see my tank every 4-6 weeks. My wife begrudgingly puts in nori and does an occasional API alk test (because it is faster than Hanna), but with 600 gallons of SPS I'd get a significant benefit from one of these. Sadly that tank is running a classic Apex, so it wouldn't work. I do have a new Apex for just this reason, but its on a tank being set up at the destination location, and it has very low consumption currently.
There are some options now.no need for instant gratification. there will be other options in the coming years I am sure.
Im not so stunned with asking price but would be more stunned if they actually get a buyer.
