Commercial - New LX7007

Hi,

LX Navigation will soon begin shipping the new LX7007 Pro IGC flight
computer. I expect the first units to arrive sometime in July.

The LX7007 Pro IGC is the newest version of what was previously the LX7000
Pro IGC. The new version offers a faster processor, more memory (I think)
for waypoints, airspace and flight logs, and can provide 5V power for a
Pocket PC.

Since the LX7007 units will be available soon I would like to sell the
LX7000 Pro IGC unit in my stock at a reduced price. I have found that
customers (and myself) prefer to get the latest versions so I must reduce
the price of the old model to sell it. I need to reduce the price enough
for customers to feel the price difference makes up for the fact that it is
not the latest model. I will therefore offer the LX7000 Pro IGC for $3995
(US $) which is $500 below the market price.

You can compare the 2 units on my web site he

Paul,

You may be breaking a 'rule', but you aren't yelling
and screaming like some plaid pants wearing, toupee
covered, grinding (pick your place) accent spewing
used car salesman. I don't mind your 'advertisements'
one bit.

And, I do see 'private' individuals who post an 'advertisement'
that they are selling their glider or their instruments
or whatever on this venue and I look for these items.
Not that I can buy a glider, but I like to know what's
out there.

So, for me, I don't mind at all when Paul, Tim Mara,
Tom Knauff, or any other business mentions they've
got something new to sell.

We have few enough vendors in our sport and the market is highly fragmented.
Among those few are some of our best and most knowledgeable pilots. Many of
them support us as speakers and exhibitors at our conventions. All of them
have been generous with their time when I've had questions, even when it
wasn't about something they sell. IMHO, none of them have abused the
privilege. I think we can afford them a bit of space on this forum for
product announcements, etc..

I vote with Ray Lovinggood.

I have just heard some very good news, Paul Remde at
Cumulus Soaring, Inc. http://www.cumulus-soaring.com/lx.htm
has a really good deal on the LX7000 Pro ICG. The LX7007
Pro IGC is the newest version of what was previously
the LX7000 Pro IGC. The new version offers a faster
processor, more memory (I think) for waypoints, airspace
and flight logs, and can provide 5V power for a Pocket
PC.

He is now offering the LX7000 Pro IGC unit at a reduced
price of $3995 (US $) which is $500 below the market
price.

This was such good news that even thought I live in
the UK I had to share it with you.

It's why I did it Todd, to demonstrate that my post
is within the rules yet Paul's is not. They both convey
the same message and they are definitely something
that we as glider pilots want to know about and could
be an advantage to us. In those circumstances I feel
that we could 'cut him a little slack'. Paul has been
honest and completely up front bringing something to
our notice. While I accept that there are rules to
prevent abuse such a one off and advantageous offer
is newsworthy as well as being of commerical use.

Please accept my post was not a swipe at anyone, just
a humourous comment on quirky rules.

Having said that I can also see the need to not let
the forum develop into a series of adverts. Perhaps
a private e-mail to 'transgressors' would be more friendly
and if that did not work a puplic flogging could follow.

Now Paul, about that free................. :-)

Don, as long as you have no financial interest in Paul's
business, you have every right to post this. If it
was done
this way, I would not have commented. It's not the
information I objected to, it was the direct and clear
violation of a rule I think is important by someone
who knew
he was violating the rule when he posted. If you think
Paul's offer is noteworthy and want to comment on it,
you
are free to do so.

Contrast Paul's commercial post with Tim Mara's last
post.
IIRC, Tim posted something like: 'Gee I'm sorry for
posting
this commercial message, but I'd like anyone to know
that
the manufacturer of the whatsit is allowing a free
exchange
of their old model whatsit for the improved current
model
whatsit.' Since Tim made no money from the free exchange,
it was not a commercial post and did not violate the
rules,
but TIm was still concerned enough to apologize for
what
might have been seen as a commercial post since it
came from
a commercial entity.
