Trade Up at Dish Depot (EMAIL)

They are offering trade ins on the 721 and some other units. You order a 721? Its on their web site.

Wonder whaere all the traded receivers go?

Too little, too late, I'm afraid.

I use to ask that question over the last two years when they would take trade ins on used DirecTv receivers ( only if they had the card with it of coarse ), but was always attacked like a bad habit because everyone just "loves" them so much.

I also use to remark about how when they launched the DD website a few years ago, the owner and his wife use to spam the Newsgroups like crazy. Many long term net folks like myself can attest to that.

But as I said, since I`ve been a subscriber to DBS for many years,
I`ve heard it all about DD, so whatever :shrug:

I don't think so:nono:.

I am not giving up any of my receivers for that small amount of money. Even my 7100 is worth more than $70.00 to me.

Your 7100 is worth more on EBay

I'd love to get another 501. We have one, and love it! My wife has FINALLY figured out going from the ota stuff to the satellite! Only took her 8 weeks or so. Must be a woman thing as my son's fiance has the same problem with the remotes!

We had a 5000 that the 501 replaced. Anyone know what a 4700 that was upgraded to a 4900 is worth?

Does $70.00 seem fair for one of these upgraded units?

Does anyone know if the 501 is new, or refurbished?

Hi mxz2002, Take a look down in our Buy,Sell and Trade forum, Dish Depot was advertising refurbs down there.
Email Mark at Dish Depot, ask for a 501 price or a refurb price, let him know you read about it here.

John,

Actually, I'm looking for a new one. I was just wondering if the $70.00 trade in of my upgraded 4900 was a decent price. When you take that off of the $269 price, $199 isn't too bad for a 501.

I will email him though....

thanks..

I just emailed Mark at dishdepot, and let him know where I saw his upgrade program.... Never would have known about it except for here.

Thanks again!

in addition, i wouldn't upgrade anything for an E* product that's basically vaporware(and it IS vaporware until the day you actually see someone using one!!!)
