Pete,
We'll be happy to take any order from you.
We just can't give you the "Dayton Special" unless you are there.

Howard,

That sure seems like a massively unfair policy. There are many, many of us
who simply cannot afford to go to Dayton but would appreciate a discount
during the once-a-year  hamfest. 

So if you have money and can afford to go to Dayton, you get a cheaper price
for Elecraft products.

Wow.

Even though I'm not planning any Elecraft purchases in the near future I
agree this doesn't seem fair. Also, almost every major retailer has a
'Dayton discount' for the 3 days of the hamfest. I would think it would be
in Elecraft's best interest to extend the discount to the less fortunate who
can't go to Dayton, for whatever reason.

The ARRL is doing the same thing with a renewal bonus. I tried to do it 
on-line, then went back and read their e-mail and it was for in-person renewals 
at Dayton.

Re: [Elecraft] K7WTG Dayton

2013-05-17 Thread Peter Hedberg 
Sorry to hear that.   I guess I misunderstood what I was told at Visalia.  I
filled out an order form ($4500) near the end of the exhibit time but didn't
place the order because I wasn't sure about the filters I wanted and said at
the time I wanted to take advantage of a possible Dayton special.  True I
didn't say I'd be at Dayton but nobody asked if I would be at Dayton.   As I
said earlier I go to Dayton every other year and last year I bought a Icom
7700.   A couple of months ago I purchased a Icom 7410 as a backup and
haven't even taken it out of the box because of a couple of my friends said
I really need to look the K3.  Between that and couple of the seminars at
Visalia sold me on the K3 but it would have been an impulse purchase at the
time and I don't do that.   That's why I choose to wait.  Over the years
I've made a few purchases after  Dayton and got the Dayton deal when I asked
for it.  Maybe next year when I come to Dayton again I'll still be in the
mood for K3.

2013-05-17 Thread Geoffrey Downs 
The number of K3s sold and its good reputation suggest it's worth the price 
whether discounted for Dayton or not. I am certainly of that view. Also, the 
price won't alter the amount of fun you get from it and if you wait till May 
2014 you'll be missing  a year's worth :-)

Giving discounts and feebies reduce profits.to compensate for the drop
in revenue will flow onto product pricing.
Given Elecrafts history of price stability i am happy with no freebies
and/or deep discounts at costly hamfests and Wayne articulated Elecrafts
position clearly enough i think.

Just my insignificant opinion..

Re: [Elecraft] K7WTG Dayton

2013-05-17 Thread Phil Hystad 
Sometimes I think the value of a discount is not in the money you save but 
rather in the feeling you have of getting some kind of special deal or special 
treatment.

I was at the parts department of a local Chevy dealership a few years ago to 
buy some minor thing.  When the guy was totaling things up he said that I get 
the 10% senior citizen discount.  I said "You mean you offer the senior citizen 
discount for someone who is only 55 ?".  He said, "No, the discount is for 65 
and older".  I gladly turned down the discount.  Some discounts are not worth 
getting especially if only 10 percent which barely covers sales tax here in my 
area of the country.
