Dezorel Audition is Done - Time to Sell
« on: 16 Jul 2003, 06:49 pm »
ok, I think we have allowed enough time for anyone interested in auditioning to sign up. It is now time to decide how to sew things up.
At the beginning I think we agreed to sell the audition unit and distribute the proceeds amongst ourselves to help reduce our individual initial audition costs. For everyone but myself, that amount is $20 (less $.88 paypal fee) + shipping.  

If possible, I'd like to find out each person's total cost. Please email or pm me with that figure.

I'd also like to get input on ideas about the best way to sell it.

I could take offers from anyone from the Circle interested in buying it.
I could place an ad on Audiogon to sell or auction it.
If you have any thoughts or ideas, post them here in this thread. I will give it about a month for things to shake out.

In the meantime, Psychicanimal was the last person to get it, so he will keep it until we figure out what to do.

I would like another chance at breaking it before we sell it.  I think it is pining for Yugoslavia again. :P

Will this ever end?

Seriously, if the auditions ever end, I think it should be offered for sale within the audition group first.  If anybody wants it, let them buy it.  If not offer for sale here.

Not to be a d!#&-hole, but I'm not sure that I ever got a straight answer about how much the test unit might cost. Is it the same one that Audionut.com has for $500 (http://www.audionut.com/pk4/store.pl?view_product=158)?

Jerry you have PM.

Randy makes a good point that the folks who participated in the audition should get first right of refusal. At least they know how the DeZorel performs in their systems.

The unit cost me $350 including shipping and import fees.
I agree that auditioners should have first crack at purchasing it.

Psychicanimal, of course I'd like to keep it, but that wouldn't be fair since we agreed on splitting the cost amongst us.

I was trying to come up with a formula that would be porportionately fair to everyone, but I found out that I'm not that smart.  

Would this be fair? We had 13 auditioners including myself. I don't believe my cost should be any more than the $20+ that everyone else kicked in.
I have approximately $19+ from each auditioner in my paypal account, for
a total of about $228. Since it cost $350, my exposure stands at about $100 if we subtract my audition fee from this. Whatever we sell the Dezorel for, the first $100 would cover my remaining exposure, and the balance would be divided by 13 to determine how much comes back to each auditioner. If we sell it for $350, $250 gets divided by 13 giving each person about $19, making the audition cost almost free. :smile: That figure would change if we sell it for more or less.

Does this make sense?

If this cost is in the ballpark, it should serve as a model for exploring future group purchases and auditions.  What should we try next?
