Jaco, I would call up Meridian and get their advice- now that this is all public I think they would work with you. My understanding is the trade in does result in a new unit- its really more of a trade up or customer loyalty appreciation program. Yes I know you could say that is a lot of money they are asking for but if I were to go in and try to buy a new 861 they would ask for 25k so 16k is certainly better than that. When I buy a new laptop I get no credit at all.

Good points Carl.


Best regards,
Jerry

There's an 808.2 on e-bay with a buy it now price of �5.5k.

That's worth �6.5k as a trade-in for an 808.3.........


In the spirit of Spinaltap, I would like to confirm that I am not involved in the corrupt theft of a global sport.

Sorry Gianni, that's worth �3750 as a trade in...near enough �6.5k is what you still need to find!

Cheers

Jerry,
I see the good things in this offer, that is not the issue.
The price is just little more than i hoped for. And i still have to wait what the Dutch distributor sets for price level.

I will speak to Meridian at the ISE

Hi Jaco, hope your well, not spoken in a while!

you would get a brand new unit on the trade in hence the ability to colour change or indeed pay the price difference and get a rack version instead smile

We should meet at ISE for a beer smile

Jaco I agree on the price and given the poor state of the economy and likely tax increases here I am weighing my options and my most likely course of action is to not do it until after tax season and then it will be a consideration. Its just a huge investment.
