Of course they did, and if somebody values getting the V4 right away, for whatever reason, then to them they paid a fair price. Who am I to question what value they put on the various parts of that deal. I keep waiting for mine, and I'd be happy to kick in an extra few hundred bucks to get it tomorrow.
I’m hopefully less than a month away. If I wasn’t, I would pay extra too, not that much though but who am I to judge.
Yes. He thought he was buying the complete unit plus scale.
Exactly, the buyer is buying two things. The Autotrickler and having it immediately. Each has a different subjective value to the buyer, and given that he was willing to pay that much for it, he is happy with the deal, and it is a fair price. A transaction isn't fair if you or I think it is, only if the two people involved in it think it is. That is exactly what a free market is.
I was going to chime in and say that I corresponded with the seller so I know he was real, and the listing was totally upfront about what was included. But, the seller himself posted. I’m not surprised at the bids. It would sell for that on the post exchange here to someone with more money than time.
Congrats on the purchase. No doubt some people will be by to tell you that you did in fact get hosed, whether you know it or not. ;-)
Mine was March 20th, and I also haven't heard anything. I hope it ships soon.
If you're talking about the shot glass I will trade you that one for the area 419 one
He also said, in mine at least, that these were rough estimates and due to change. I think he's done a pretty good job at keeping information current and getting trickles out the door, IMO. I just got my AMP press and the only thing that delayed them for a while was a $1 magnet they were waiting on. Pretty rough out there with parts and such.
I would check junk folder for shipping notification. Lots end up there. Given that the site was just updated you should still be in early January.
March 15 reservation, paid and received before Christmas, I’d check your emails again, if he has to chase up every oddity we’d never get any built, so I wouldn’t expect updates, just make sure your end is working correctly and contact them if it’s too far off as emails can be unreliable little toads I’ve found
My order date was March 18th but I decided to check my junk box just in case. Thank god I did, it turns out that I have inherited a few large sums of money from several African dictators and to boot there are plenty of local women ready to sleep with me. I just sent several of my African benefactors my bank information so when the funds roll in……auto trickler v4s for everyone on me.
Adam didn't work for me, but I ordered full kit with scale directly from CE Products after earlier reserving with Adam. #shrug
March 14 as well. Received invoice for balance and paid a few days before Xmas. E-mail confirmed payment and stated they’d let me know when it shipped. Waiting on e-mail that it has shipped. The holidays tend to slow things down so I expect it’ll be shipped soon.
Mine is from CE with the scale - not sure if that’s different.
I bought one of Stan’s covers recently. They are great. Fantastic service and super quick turnaround.
Yes sir. Been a member here for years, but not very active here lately.
Is it more accurate than the v3?
No. Maybe with the other product news, 419 will come out with updated parts for the v4. I just want a new base with built in stop in the correct location, and perhaps replacements for the plastic bits such as the funnel. The little plastic bit to stop the cup that comes with the v4 seems like a joke.
Yes, it is more consistent. Out of 100+ throws at 34.5 only a few were short most were 34.5 with maybe 20 at 34.52. I double weighed them on a higher resolution scale too. Done this twice now. It is all about setting scale up properly in controlled environment. More tunable than V3 so it is more consistent. Now that I have it dialed in, it is running throws about every 10 to 12 seconds. So not really faster, maybe a little but definitely more consistent.
I was thinking the same thing, if the supertrickler is not going to work out for A419, maybe they will turn out some billet stuff for the A4..
Supertrickler and Area419 cut ties, officially.
Was this announced somewhere? Not on facebook so dont follow the supertrickler thread. It's still on the Area419 site.
Yes, to include an email. It's official.
Just curious, what did the email say? I love Area419 and have a Zero Press, tons of PRS related stuff and all of the V3 goodies as well as a vudoo build I bought from them but they are taking forever to get new things to market. Im still waiting on the shellholder set they announced more than 10 months ago. Not sure how quickly they are going to bust out parts for the V4. That being said, a more forward platen would be great - love mine now which is coming off hopefully in the next two three weeks (I think my V4 should be shipping in the next two weeks according to the latest schedule)/
