Callsign.Vega Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 Oh wow thats cheap. Converts into only $313 US. Warthogs average like ~$450 in the US.

ZaltysZ Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 Amazon at Germany and US still sells WT at high price. I am just wondering if there is a catch with WTs from UK site. :) Wir sehen uns in Walhalla.
airea Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 (edited) My wife wants to buy me a TH warthog for my birthday (believe or not). Yet, I cannot find any site delivering this good to Istanbul/Turkey... WTF... Is there anyone from UK who is planning to a make trip to Istanbul in the near future:) Edited December 15, 2010 by airea

Pilotasso Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 hmmmm hmmmm There is never a too good of a deal, Im sure these WH are made of repaired units returned by custumers and then re-marketed. :music_whistling: .
BKLronin Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 Im sure these WH are made of repaired units returned by custumers and then re-marketed. :music_whistling: I hope its the full plasitc version :P [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Jinja Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 (edited) Im sure these WH are made of repaired units returned by custumers and then re-marketed. :music_whistling: In the UK it would be breaking trading standards if these were refurbished repairs but being sold as new. ...and a company marketing extremely high-end, niche products would be taking a MIGHTY risk if there was a backlash from the community they rely on, if they were found to be doing this. I really doubt it, but I will be reporting my serial number to see how this ties in with serials reported by other existing owners in other territories. My feeling is that this might be a genuine mistake, UK PC hardware is NEVER cheaper than the US equivalent in my experience!

sneakypete Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 In the UK it would be breaking trading standards if these were repurposed returns but being sold as new. ...and a company marketing extremely high-end, niche products would be taking a MIGHTY risk if there was a backlash from the community they rely on, if they were found to be doing this. I really doubt it, but I will be reporting my serial number to see how this ties in with serials reported by other existing owners in other territories.

My first WH was returned to Amazon UK as I suspected I was not the first owner. :hmm:
Swaty Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 Now £199 at Play and Amazon UK! My first WH was returned to Amazon UK as I suspected I was not the first owner. :hmm: You received the box and you suspected that it was previously used? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] My Pit
sneakypete Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 You received the box and you suspected that it was previously used? Yeah, fingermarks, not correctly packed, lateral and linear play in the right hand throttle. Worked ok, but looked and felt a bit 'second-hand' to me! I expect most have some throttle play but quite a lot in this example. I may be wrong but I'd say this one had been out of the box before! :huh:
Swaty Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 The package is very good, you can packet it very easily. I know it because I had to return the sample I had for review. Maybe it was a mistake, It listed as "new" and I think I get a new. In any case delivery will be at 17 or 18 Dec so I will let you know. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] My Pit
