Wondering who would be interested in going in on buying an XTC chip and passing it around in the US.
Here's what I propose...
ONE of us in the states purchases one, and we subsequently pass it around to those who want to go in on it. I would propose that we pool resources together and purchase one through ebay (there's a NY seller that has one for a little less than $200 US. I'd be comfortable buying it and passing it along to someone else in the states... I would say we get a list of people together, where's they're located, and how much they are willing to put in to a general fund to purchase (or offset the cost of) the XTC chip. Let's see if we can get a nice long list going, and I'll look at buying on Monday or Tuesday (May 2 or 3 2011)... I live in Baltimore, so anyone in neighboring states or nearby could meet up or i could mail it to them and they'd have it in a day or 2... (Im not sure the exact weight, but each person going in would pay for shipping to the next in line to receive it.. Im assuming we could ship it for under $2 to each person, as i doubt it weighs more than a few ounces and would fall under the 13oz rule for USPS first class mail)...
If we can get a list of where everyone is, how much they'd be willing to contribute, we can maybe map out a path for this thing... (I would say, the larger contributors would have first dibs on it, and those who are closest in proximity with where it is...ie, if i order it and get it next friday, and someone offsets in NY with $5, but someone in VA offsets with $25, I would ship it to the person in VA... They in turn would ship it to the NY person, and so on and so forth...
If you are unable to offset... you probably shouldnt have bought a $500 phone No, but in seriousness... if you are unable to contribute, I (personally, but would need general consensus from those who HAVE contributed)... would be more than willing to pass this on to those who HAVENT contributed to the cause (of course, as is only right... i would say you would be last in line to receive it...)
That being said... any input?
Count me in, Albany NY
I should say:
Leave your location and amount you'd be willing to offset costs with... If we can get a good idea of who out there is willing, we can formulate a plan on where this thing will go and when it will get there..
200 bucks? you can better buy it straight of raskal instead lol
Count me out lol. I was chose as one of the 10 beta testers1 !!!!!!

OK guys, I just bought an XTC Clip and it should be here hopefully mid week.
This is an unlimited clip, so, im looking to pass it around.
What i'd like to do, is have you guys that want it, essentially do a group buy... and we'll ship it from person A to B to C... and so on.
Not looking for HUGE portions to be donated or whatever.. like $20 each to include shipping. Once we hit the cost i paid for it, ill send each a little back or whatever.
Please feel free to PM me.

Are we sure the xtc clip works on increidble s? I was reading the forums on the xtc clip website and it seemed like it wasn't working, at least for a while.
Also, at $20, you expect 7 people to go for this? Seems like a low number, should we wait for like 15 people to make it $10??

I just went for $20 as a marker. I've already bought and paid for it, so anything i get back just cushions the cost I also went with $20 because it's looking like the payg version is going to be costing about $35 per charge (including shipping fees of device) (not sure as i havent seen the exact number). If you are willing to do $20, and a few days from now, 15 other people join in and what not, i would definately refund money (im not looking to make money in this, but by the same token, it would be nice tro not lose money either )

Sorry about not answering the IS question. Yes, it works on the Incredible S (It seems that all of them except the BELL branded IS as of now).

That is correct (The XTC clip does not currently work with the BELL branded IS, maybe I can still send it to you and you can give feedback to Raskal... not sure what he needs, but i'd be willing to contribute to the cause).

Sorry for the misinformation... I was basing it off of a message in the DInc2 thread (under GENERAL) titled Droid Incredible 2 and XTC Clip

Is this deal worth it? I'm buying it from a friend and it is in good condition. I'm trying to flip it and then sell it on eBay. I can only ship via ups so that's an extra 10 bucks. Will I make profit?
Anyone bump please?
Do a search on Ebay and see how much other Revolutions are going for. Then make your decision.

How much would it be to ship out there? I'd be fine doing that for you, $40 usd +15% for ebay fees + shipping.

I am not sure about the shipping cost because I don't know how big/heavy the Zero Lemon will be. But I am willing to pay the shipping. We can do it without going through eBay, just paypal. I'll pay you paypal fee too plus time and effort.
PS.
Are there any other Australians here? Maybe we can bulk buy and divide the shipping cost.

OK, we have 5 orders now. That is enough for the now, don't want to put too many as it would be too risky.
I want to make this as easy as possible for the American XDA member who will be kind enough to help us by sorting out as much as possible the financial and shipping business within Australia.
So here is what I think we should do.
at the moment $1AUD = 1.03 USD, so lets assume it is equal to make it everything easy.
Step 1. Have all the Australians buyers deposit money (bank transfer) payment which include Zero Lemon plus the shipping cost from the States and monetary incentive for the American XDA member to me. Those who live outside Sydney should pay additional $8AUD so that I can post the battery to you after it arrives from the States, otherwise you can pick it up from my Parramatta residence if you live close by.
Step 2. I will then transfer the total amount to the American XDA member.
Step 3. the American XDA member will order the batteries off Amazon and ship the batteries to my address in Sydney.
Step 4. I will then post out the batteries for the rest of the Aussies that live in other Australian citise or a organise local pick after I receive them.
So this way, the American XDA only have to deal with one person and one payment, which is me and I will deal with the fellow Aussies.
So all we need now is that American XDA member volunteer, I personally prefer a MOD or a Dev member or established XDA member, because the amount of money that will be involved, Thanks.
Im in canada and use comgateway.com its pricey for one person but if theres a few being ordered should be ok. Plus theyll give you a quote up front now

One thing y'all should be aware of is that UPS, Fedex and such have regulations against shipping batteries. You need a bunch of paperwork including MSDS from the manufacturer. I couldn't ship a HD2 battery to my dad in another country because of all the paperwork I would have had to go through. It's much easier for the manufacturer to do it because they already have the paperwork on file.
Now, I'm sure you'd be fine just mailing it and not telling them it's a cell phone battery since people get on planes with cell phones everyday. But they could easily seize it and penalize you if they wanted if they found out.

on Amazon, why don't zero lemon just use Amazon shipping if they don't want to ship it to Australia. I bought few things off Amazon, they ship to Australia with no issue.
How about shipito.com? I have an account and willing to order.

I also have one, if someone is interested pm me. Edit: here's the code: dmfajodtd
Im located in Canada but don't really understand why I would need a 50$ discount for the candian HTC store since most M7 accessories (if not all) are out of stock and most phones are not sold from the HTC store but redirecting you to a Canadian carrier website (so the coupon doesn't apply). The only things you can buy with this is either an A9 or M9 at full price minus the 50$.... So 800$ CAD for a M9 2 weeks before the M10 launch.... and the coupon is only valid for 5 days....What a deal HTC ...
Sorry, didn't check what 50$ would actually buy. I already jumped to Sony z5, wanted to do that for a while..

Don't be sorry, its generous to give your coupon, just wanted to say that you can't actually buy anything interesting with this (from the canadian htc store) except a phone that will be much cheaper in 2 weeks. I guess this strategy is working fine with ppl that aren't really following news about upcoming phones... "Hey I'll give you 50$ off on that 850$CAD phone even if we know it will cost about 200$ less in 13 days because we are launching a new one and want to get rid of the overstock now. And you know what? We are still selling it full price even if you can find a brand new one on ebay for 500$CAD"....
Is this supposed to be a good deal HTC? :laugh:
