Well, the time has come for me to offer up one of my two EMPEG MK.I units. I was lucky enough to end up with two of these units, however, only one of them ever managed to get installed in my vehicle. I wanted to use the 2nd one for a dedicated home theatre unit, but ended up building a PC to do it.

BRAND NEW EMPEG MK.I
S/N 00215
10GB DRIVE
BLUE FACE
US POWER
ADDITIONAL CAR MOUNT

ORIGINALLY PAID - $1800.00 (yes, after shipping and import charges, it sucked!)
ASKING PRICE - $1125 (obo) and I'll ship via FedEx overnight to you!

THAT IS A $600.00 SAVINGS!!!!

Again, everything is brand new. The unit still has the protective film on the front, and everything is still untouched in the package! I would be happy to pull the unit out to upgrade the unit to software version 11a if you would like.

I know that some of you are saying, well, I may wait for the MK.II, well, who knows when you'll get it. Hey, we were promised over, and over mass production of the MK.I units. According to Empeg, they should have been through 15000 on the queue in time for Christmas last year!!! (Not a slam on you guys Hugo, Rob, etc ... I know you all have been hard at work. I am just trying to be realistic!) And hell, we were supposed to be ready for mass production of the MK.II units by June 1. It is not June 29, and they have finally offered up the MK.II, in a run of only 40 units! (Again Hugo, Rob, etc ... This is not a slam to you all.) If you want to be on the bleeding edge of technology, and want to impress your friends today, here is your chance!

I considered running the Empeg on Ebay, but wanted to give the REAL Empeg fans a chance to buy to before I dumped it there! Hope I can make someone happy with this one!


Thanks,

Chris

I do believe what the guys@empeg say.

Remember: At the Mk1 they didn't have something like a production street booked and they didn't stock such amount of parts. The Mk1 was kind of "hand made". That's a reason why they didn't produce such an amount, I think.
And why should they tell us something false about the coming up of the Mk2. I think they know the'd loose many potential customers (or clients ) if they never start to ship a larger amount of units.
And if they sell enough units they'll earn some money with their great idea, too. So everybody will be happy, I'm sure.

You have 2 Mk1 units and are now going to get a Mk2? Some people have much luck

...proud to have owned one of the first Mark I units

ouch; caps are hard to read

Listen, sonny. In my day, we didn't have upper and lower case. Computer text was always in all caps, and we liked it that way.

You whippersnappers with your graphical user interfaces and wysiwyg text. Hmph.

Yeah? Well in MY day digital computation meant counting on your fingers and toes! Why do you think most math today is in base-10?

So there!

> Again, everything is brand new. The unit still has the protective film

Ouch, I bet you wish you'd sold this when players were running ABOVE retail on eBay, a couple of months ago!

I used to get up in the morning, at 10 o’clock at night half an hour before I went to bed, drink a cup of sulfuric acid…

hehehe...

What, you mean when some guy sold his "extra" mk1 for like 2000$ (600$+ over retail)? Heh...

I was happy to get 1000$ out of my 1250$ player. :)

(O|||||O)
Still waiting on the mk2 confirmation of shipping :(

Y'know, no one ever commented on the Frank Hayes song that I posted on this subject...
