DikiDino 0 Report post Posted September 21, 2006 Hi Guys, i'm not sure on the pricing too. For warranty wise, i believe its the standard bah. 1 year? Will confirm with him again. I think no need to MO. My friend say they will most likely bring some in and see hows the market and demand. But seriously, what kind of pricing will you guys be expecting? I'm curious also. For my set, since its a used set, cannot be compared. Just need to prepare to get a new set. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

basis 0 Report post Posted September 21, 2006 did a quick check on pricegrabber and this was what it spewed out. http://www.pricegrabber.com/p__Altec_Lansi...sort_type=price taking amazon's USD$67 - rounded up. so after some simple conversion its about SGD$106 (rough currency conversion). add in some shipping and my guess is about SGD$20? (please correct me on this, i could be wrong so a total of roughly $126-$130 ? (give take a few bucks) i can't speak for most folks but i guess thats the range i might be willing to pay? i admit to being a completely ignorant of the pricing trend of the iM716s but after much searching plenty of folks (over @ head-fi) seem to recommend these. (sorry this is my first post but i've decided to take the plunge to search for a good pair of cans - and happen to come across this local forum by chance yesterday. and thx 2 aaron-xp for pointing me to this forum as well /cheers) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theory_87 0 Report post Posted September 21, 2006 shpping fee is slightly higher... tt y i say $150... i got mine for USD$70 and total up S$147.90... but do take note only amazon selling at this price...

dle4e_2005 0 Report post Posted September 21, 2006 But Amazon is selling it very cheaply unlike other US shop that sells it US1??+... So i think if it is bought into Singapore with warrenty then the price would be about SG$200 or SG$300+ **Last time IM716 is like the 904sh which is still locked now **But now IM716 is like a 904sh been unlocked(future) and people is buying it quickly...
