Will there be some kind of bonus for the guys who bought the first sp10/sp30 bundle? They payed around 9000$ per sp30 and those are now only 4500$.
These are your most loyal customers, who trusted you from the start and put their money where their mouth was.
Essentially they payed double the amount for only 2 weeks earlier delivery....
I'm sure Spondoolies would have given you similar discount if you bought 250 SP30's, or organized a group buy and sold 250 minimum.
you still have time to buy more by joining in current group buy sale before it closes in 3 hours.
However spondoolies has to manage shipping and payment on a per-customer basis.
I don´t demand anything, i would just like to hear from spondoolies regarding the topic.
These are the most loyal customers who bought their sp30 at~9000$ as part of a bundle.
Early adopters should be rewarded and not punished for making an order.
This is why i ask wether there will be any kind of bonus for these most loyal customers, who trusted spondoolies when they hadn´t shipped anything yet.
There wasn´t even the 10% off chance etc. at the beginning.
While i value the input from every community member regarding this topic, i actually just want a short statement from spondoolies.
I only posted it on the forums because i think many early adopters are wondering the same thing, and i value spondoolies as a company with great integrety.
I must agree that group buy is a bit different, but we are talking about a 50% discount for people buying single orders.
Even if you compare with the SP10+SP30 in store right now you get a 3.300$ discount (or 22%) + one extra hosting month on each machine, even at 3 month contracts thats another 600$. So even with in store prices that's a 3900$ discount.
Even the evil apple usually offers something to the people that bought old generation items when a new one arrives or there is a price reduction.
Also take into account that most of us bought even before the test units arrived, we believed in SP and when the units arrived confirmed they were 100% legit, that group buy would be impossible without us taking the lead and adding trust to SP.
But as said, no one forced us to buy and we did on our own, so I don't demand anything.
