BigFloppy Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 Dang, I'm glad I ordered mine last night! YUP, I forgot to give you the board login id but I'm sure I'll be forgiven... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ducatiboy Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 Yes, you saved $5 since you ordered it last night (I didn't tripple the price). It's something that makes the Z1 function so much better.... is an extra $5 over what I used to charge really that big of a deal? User names are not required, but just don't PM me asking me questions about your order, it will take me hours to find it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tallmanmike Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 Wow, I lucked out too by ordering mine last night. I don't think that the price increase is bad at all though for what your "little black box" does for all of us! Thanks a bunch!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rchan11 Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 Hi Ducatiboy, I made a HUGE mistake and overpaid $5 with my paypal account ($35 total). Is there anyway to make an adjustment (send a $5 payment back) or get a cheque written back for it with the shipment to Canada? Apologies in advance. :( I got caught up reading the increase in price and put in the wrong amount. Thanks so much for your time, Rchan11 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sure, I'll paypal you the extra $5 back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rchan11 Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 Thanks Ducatiboy! I haven't even bought a Z1 yet but you've received nothing but great reviews so I figure I should pick one up ahead of time before the price gets bumped again. :wink: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You walk him and pitch to the rhino. But yah, he just made a mistake, so I sent him back the overpayment. No biggie. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tromar1 Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 ducatiboy...I ordered mine at $25...but would have paid $50. As an MBA, I think you are way underpriced. I would guess your breakeven point is much greater than $20, $25, or even $30. I am not counting the cost of equipment, material used, or man hours...but the intellectual property of creating your unit...without any methodology for protecting you creation; whch, I think is worth at least $50. Not trying to piss anyone off by suggesting the unit is under priced...but as I read from page one the the end, i noticed that a lot of people dropped over $1500 for a "radio." So, ultimately we shouldn't be too concerend about a $5 dollar increase...right? I actually paid $50 for the bypass on a N2 last year...so this is a bargain. I am acutally impressed by those that can create...Of course I won't be installing mine myself, I can only use the unit. I do, however, instruct and manage my installer very well. He is motivated to make all the necessary changes as suggested by all the great postings on this site. Once again, thank for allowing me to not hit "OK" on the "incorrect brake installation" message...thanks for making my commute enjoyable for my passengers...and thanks for creating a product that satisfied the needs of the consumer.

That's exactly what I was hoping people would feel like. I would love to make $50 per unit, but I saw the fall out when I joked about it costing $100. Yah, I don't make too much money on this stuff and the equipment is a bit expensive, but it was more of a hobbie for me. But it's quickly turning into a little business. Thanks for the writeup above. Very well said. Hope everyone is happy with the flasher circuit! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
googalash Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 Well I ordered my circuit yesterday for $30 and I can't wait to get it. I do agree with tromar1 that even at $50 a pop these thing would be well worth the cost. So even though I have not gotten mine yet I will say that I apperciate as I'm sure many others do all the work Ducati is putting into them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Slick 6MT Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 Just received mine this afternoon! Can't wait to get it in the car! :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ducatiboy Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 googalash: I got the payment, I'll try to ship it tomorrow or friday at the latest. Slick 6MT: let me (or us, posting a success story) know how the install goes. I probably have only gotten feedback from about 5% of the people who got them. Good luck, either post or PM me or email me (the fastest) if you have questions or problems. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tromar1 Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 whoopee! Mine arrived today....now i'm waiting on the ND-BT1 so i can have them both installed at the same time. Ordered it from 6ave.com (as suggested in another post. You guys rock! Loved the "Disclaimer." It was very well stated. Only an A-hole would hold you guys responsible in the event of a tragedy...but in today's litigious society...people will always try to make other's responsible for their own mistakes. On another matter...ducati, could I PM you about a project? willing to pay...If I can, is it the same email address for th ordering? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
