That's all in the Sales Support-Thread.Just so that I know whats going on, on average, how many Original Preorders are being fulfilled each month?
Also, about how many original preorders total do you suppose are left?
That can't really be said, as it heavily depends on sales. And sales can change HEAVILY in one month, based on advertisement, upgrades, etc.Well if Craig has 700 pre-orders left as has been previously suggested, that will mean another 1.5 years before they are cleared out. Hopefully that number includes refund payouts also.
Why ? Is it more likely that people stumble over the Pandora during an eBay search ? And if so, is it worth the fees that ED would have to pay ?ED, is there a reason you don't try and bolster sales by selling on ebay?
I would definately get them on ebay (available worldwide - buy now) as the highest priority right now. Get some increased sales going.
With the Pandoras price tag already beeing the one thing that keeps most people off (or at least rant about the Pandora) ? Even with the refurbished models this would mean a price increase of at least 17€ (afaik he has to pay a monthly fee of about 20€ + some small fee for offering something + 5% of the actual sales price) - Is this really worth the effort ?Some people would indeed stumble upon the pandora during an ebay search. I don't see why Ed couldn't add the ebay fees to the asking "buy now" price. They're not requiring sellers to set their price to the same as their online shop.
Wow it would mean that at this pace end of March you might be clear of backorders. Nice! Good to hear it!That's all in the Sales Support-Thread.
Hard to tell how many are being fulfilled, as it depends on the sales.
But thanks to upgrades, etc., we managed to ship about 60 since the beginning of 2013.
I've got a bit less than 50 left, can't say anything about Craig though.

On what facts do you base this assumption on ?Simple answer to your questions -> Yes
Not an assumption, placed in the right categories like gaming console, umpc etc it will get much needed extra awareness and thus sales via people browsing those categories.On what facts do you base this assumption on ?Simple answer to your questions -> Yes
That's just, like, his opinion man. The only way to find out if it is worth the effort is to try it!On what facts do you base this assumption on ?Simple answer to your questions -> Yes
I would rather put the financial effort in some advertisement (banner ads, or something like that) than in eBay. That beeing said, I just discovered that the Pandora is already being sold on eBay (only through a reseller)That's just, like, his opinion man. The only way to find out if it is worth the effort is to try it!
Thats more up to a reseller than Ed himself. Maybe ask Link from ithic.com why he is not going for selling them through ebay.com ?...it also needs to be made available world wide as opposed to just Germany.
?As this requires near 0 financial effort it should at least be tried
Editing posts after they have already been adressed should be avoided, as it confuses people (namely me).Not an assumption, placed in the right categories like gaming console, umpc etc it will get much needed extra awareness and thus sales via people browsing those categories.On what facts do you base this assumption on ?Simple answer to your questions -> Yes
Plus it wouldn't be the 1000th time someone said ,are these available to buy on eBay?
Also , as some one else suggested , it would be a great idea to get it onto thinkgeek
