[IC] Earphones
« on: Sat, 23 February 2013, 17:43:35 »
Not really an interest check because it IS actually running right now but what is happening is I'm running a group buy locally for Rock-it Sounds R-50 earphones!

I wanted to keep it local in order to get this group buy done quickly and with minimal problems. I got a bunch of people so far but I need more to get it working and after weeks of trying to get new people I decided to branch out to geekhack.

PRICING: $75 + shipping. (ORIGINAL PRICE: $129 w/shipping on amazon)

My plan.
Gather people and see if I have enough by March 16th.
Recreate thread in group buy section and gather money by March 30th.
Order everything on March 31st.
Upon arrival, I will distribute local orders first and start shipping geekhack orders afterwards.

So post here if you're interested and I will count you.


Why the Rock-it Sounds R-50?
After looking for earphones for myself and at various reviews, I decided that the R-50 Earphones were the best bang per buck.
This extensive chart can show you where its at.

I wanted these earphones and after discussing it with a friend who wanted to do so too, we decided to start a group buy to make it even cheaper and an even better deal for us. We've gathered a few people and I'm hoping I can gather more on geekhack!

They're $120 directly from Rock It Sounds, but how many need to be ordered for $75 + shipping?

Wow only 20 for that price and you only need 5 more? I'd probably buy if I didn't already own a GR01 (same Knowles TWFK dual BA).
GLWGB, though you probably won't need luck to hit 20 :)

Since through Amazon IS Rock It Sounds, I'd bet that direct through their site they add shipping separately.

Yes, you're right. They might even be more after shipping if purchased directly. I just found out they only offer 90 days labor for the warranty >.>

No I don't. Hmm. I do have an ebay account lol but I have like 3 feedback(all positive) so I don't think its enough. I understand I have little background and little for people to trust me. So I was hoping to try to show people I have some orientation and commitment by posting that plan. On geekhack, I've only made two purchases from feng.

Also, I have only 11 people locally. The other 4 people didn't seem committed enough to allow to participate in the group buy... so I'm going to extend all deadlines by one week.

How much would shipping be? And do you know how long it will take to receive the earphones after placing the order? I may be interested!

I'm in.  I was going to spring for some DBA-02 MKII's in the coming months, but how can I refuse at this price?

To Australia, it would be about $7. Should take about a week.

Not even close to the amount of people we need. Local people have been dropping out like flies. T.T Imma lock this and seal this interest check as dead.
