Chatterbox buy feeler
 

I contacted Chatterbox... asking about a group buy... they came back and said they'd be more than happy to setup something for us.

I figured that not all of us would want the same model as there's three different models. vote for the one you want...

They said to find out how many orders for each model and they'd come back with prices... this doe not lock you into a purchase.. but please only vote if you're truely intrested in buying one.

I'll close this and send in the numbers in March (depends on my internet access when)

Again... this is just a feeler... so I can get ball park prices... there's no requrement to buy... but please only vote if you're seriously intrested... prices will be based on total number of orders so if half back out... the price will go up.

where is the poll?

ya we need a poll and i would b interested in 2 of the second model depending on price

No Poll No Buy...Goddamnit Ebbs.

wtf... I posted this but it didn't direct me to post a poll... it directed me to the main page... then I couldn't find the fuck'n thread... :wtf:

drewpy anyway you can add a poll for me?

just put each model as a different option

Chatterbox group buy
 

fixed

nice... though I'm think'n choice 5 didn't need a pic... :lol:


thanks

any time, dont mention it

well that's kinda retarded to say after I mentioned it... :lol:


you look'n for just one or one for you and PG? I know Jarvis said 2

two,

i was workin on fixing it when you said something... i just wanted to use the fail pic

I'm probably getting option 2 but used from a local guy.

obviously its price cut dependant, but yea i do want one. not sure which yet....

it's all good...

cool

I'd have to go bluetooth.

yeah I know it's tough with out knowing price... and I told the guy that our numbers will vary from what the feeler says...

same here.

im in barring a helluva local sale, but i havent voted bcuz im not sure on model. bluetooth sounds gd though stream music, phone calls, navi, etc. hmmm need to research....

depending on the price i want that one too but dont think i'll use it enough to justify it

how can both choice 3 and 4 be their most powerful model? :idk:

Cause it's the same exact one, only one has Bluetooth.

For me the Bluetooth isn't worth the extra money... Option number two is more than what I need, but the additonal channels make it the best option for me... Extra channels = more ability to hide from other people.

Bluetooth is money if you have a gps or phone that's a mp3 player too or all three like an iphone or storm.

Choice 2 Price depending...

The only one that doesn't have multiple inputs for those devices is option 1. Personally paying that much extra to go wire-free just isn't worth it. Now, if I had more cash to toss around... I'd probably spend the extra money.

lets post this shit on every board we are on and try to get some big numbers in to drop the price

I would assume that Chatterbox will provide the terms and what sort of discounts they'd be willing to provide based upon quantity.

yeah, more volume, lower price is my guess how this works

the only issue is with the wire(s) you have to disconnect them when you get off the bike or take off your helmet (if you have the wire(s) run through your jacket) my head phones were annoying enough at every gas station having my ipod in my tank bag... more than once I pulled my ipod out an on to the ground because I forgot.

my #1 reason for getting it is the blue tooth capibility... to go wireless for my music and possibly GPS.

Yeah I'll check with them tonight... say that people are unsure what they want... the price dictates what model they want

let ya know what they say

Well Ebbs... I'm not a dumbass, so I don't think I'll have to worry much about that.

Ask for various tiers... What sort of discount would you provide on each model if we bought 20, 15, 10, etc? Would the discount apply to us only buying one particular model, or can we go with a mix?

:lol: it's not really about being a dumbass... it's just convienence...




ok... and a little bit dumbass


ok... will do. :dthumb:

2 for #2

Depending on price I may be interested in 2 or 3 of the # 2 version.

I wouldn't rule out getting the # 3 version since it's stronger but voted for # 2.

wow... AWESOME Prices... wait... aren't those the same prices as here?

http://www.chatterboxusa.com/cbx1btunit.html

:lol:

I replied back asking :wtf:

so much for not comparing prices looks like we arnt going to get that deal

:lol::lol:

www.motorcyclesuperstore.com has them at 25% off...

yeah I saw that... fuck'n retarded that he throws it up as a discount and it's the MSRP...

ok... wtf... chatterbox says the MSRP of the X1Bluetooth is 260... the guy says he can offer them at 260... motorcycle superstore says regular 399 on sale for 299...

pwnt?

yeah I dunno... but no way in hell am I paying over MSRP for the fuck'n thing. $260 is high imo... $400 is recockulous!

I think it's time to start firebombing motorcycle shops...

I got a reply... turns out the 260 that chatterbox's web page is for the unit only.... it's 400 for the unit with all the wiring for a full face helmet.

so there it's a fuck'n bad ass discount.


so not bad if we can get 10 people interested...

still considering 2 for number 2

has anyone tried these with a motocross style type of helmet? does the wind affect it a lot?

I've heard the wind will fuck with it if you've got it on the mode where you just talk. so they say if your doing an open face helmet you're pretty much stuck wth push to talk mode.

I'm still interested... but I'm gonna have to wait till begining of April.

still dont know if i wana pay the extra 60 for bluetooth, but im in
