PROcede Rev1 to Rev2 update for customers

OpenFlash · 02-05-2009, 12:08 AM

We are officially extending the $695 competitive price to all current PROcede Rev.1 users. And those users are encouraged to put their Rev.1s in the classifieds section and sell them for ~$400.

And everyone who was in the market for a low end inexpensive tune could now get into a full-on PnP PROcede for peanuts and enjoy all the new v3.2 maps/features.

While all original customers can update to the latest and greatest for only ~$300 out of pocket expense and rest assured that new hardware-based features are coming along in the pipeline.

We could even arrange for used PROcede testing service for a nominal fee for those who purchased used units in the classifieds and want to make sure everything is in fine shape before installing. Basically ruling out any risk associated with purchasing used product. This creates a selling market as well as a buying market. Not a bad idea in this marvelous economy of ours I suppose

Cheers

Shiv, would this pricing also include people who bought New V3 Harnesses from you guys, but bought a V2 on the used market?

I suppose we could make it apply to anyone who either bought the following from us:

1) PROcede (any version)
2) v3 harness

SICK!!!! My Rev 1 is going in the classifieds now....

shyestsparks · 02-05-2009, 12:48 AM

Sounds like a very good idea; Are you gonna make 1 pool of all the Rev.I for sale or we sell it ourselves?

Septro · 02-05-2009, 12:51 AM

umm.. why not just sell the procede for $695 and get it over with?

hints?

branabolic · 02-05-2009, 06:59 AM

will this apply for people who bought used rev. 1 PROcedes?

alextremo · 02-05-2009, 07:30 AM

How about you give a $400 credit to return the rev1 with purchase of rev2, you can test and resell them through your distribution channels for $450 as Certified Pre Owned. Saves sellers the hassle of selling/shipping/dealing with 3rd party, buyers get piece of mind knowing deal is legit and unit is tested.

branabolic · 02-05-2009, 07:45 AM

^+1... i'd be waaaay more comfortable doing that. i really dont think it would be to easy to privately sell these rev 1's once a shitload of them hit the market at the same price. i think you would be much more successful selling used rev 1's that you certify are in proper working order than us selling them on ouor own.

Trapperj · 02-05-2009, 08:03 AM

Great Idea....maybe you could be a exchange station of sorts. Maybe even include a 90 day trade-up policy for those that try the rev 1 and want to trade up to Rev2.

bubbletea 4 me · 02-05-2009, 08:12 AM

i don't have a proceed but that's a great idea shiv. now you are really doing something that really benefits the current customers - ala Terry.

props to you

I highly doubt Shiv would take the risk of accumulating a bunch of used V3s that he might not be able to resell...

But if he did it, I foresee a massive chunk of the rev 1 userbase making the switch.

Agreed. Good luck trying to sell a used V3 when there are another 100 in the for sale forum if we were forced to sell them ourselves. I would be all over the Rev 2 upgrade if the CPE / credit idea was a go.

Why not? At this price point you are attracting people in the market for a $400 tune to buy Vishnu with all the fancy features, less O2 sims. With the right distribution channels (web sites, vendors, etc) I would think the risk would be very low, when you compare the performance/functionality offered vs the competition at this price point. Basically introducing the V3 to a new set of consumers who were priced out previously.

I think the selling has already started.. Just took a peek in the classifieds..

+1 They are already flooding the market. I am sure most Procede users have yet to even see this post.

jadeddjay · 02-05-2009, 08:31 AM

i would be down for that
just need the official word

sflgator · 02-05-2009, 08:32 AM

With a bunch of used PnP Rev I V3's flooding the market (and being that they will all be in the "For Sale" section only on this Forum), it may be difficult for many ppl to sell. Good concept, but easier said than done; I still think a decent trade-in policy is warranted.
