921 for sale - saw this on ebay

[jtp1947]

Anyone interested, there is a new 921 for sale on Ebay for $1699 plus $105 shipping and handling from a retailer. So you wonder why you can't buy one for list from your retailer? Ah, capitalism, you gotta love it!

Economics 101.

When Supply falls, Demand increases. And when Demand increases in an environment with limited Supply, prices often rise as well........

Doesn't the site www.dishnetwork.com sell it for 1000 dollars? :)

Not at the moment. You cannot buy a 921 directly from Dish Network at the current point in time. Instead, you have to purchase it through one of their retailers, and hence the gouging which can occur.

And, even if Dish did allow you to order them directly right now, they'd still be going for a premium since they aren't actually shipping anywhere. I won't be overly surprised if they actually get that kind of cash for a 921 right now. Some people just want one and don't really have concerns about cost. (Note: I'm not one of those people -- I want one, but I do have concerns about cost!) :)

I want one, but I do have concerns about cost!)

Me too; I also want one, and am concerned about price. But I'm also concerned about quality. There is a reason they are in short supply right now, and I'm certainly not going to pay a premium price for a inferior product (what's that saying about a fool and his money?). As much as it hurts, I'll wait until they get most of the bugs worked out and they are selling at MSRP or below.
