Interest Check for buying used SVS PC12-NSD from Mumbai/Navi Mumbai/Pune FM

[sandip_d]

I have SVS-PC12 NSD, bought from Audire in Nov 2010 for Rs 55800/- I had used it for @ 7 months in my HT setup. Since I rarely use the HT setup now, I have been in dual mind whether to retain it for later use or dispose it. It is in pristine condition. I would be expecting price @ 40k with little negotiations and it can be picked up from Navi Mumbai/Pune residence.
The FM from Navi Mumbai/Mumbai can audition it at my Navi Mumbai residence. Since I stay now at Pune & workplace is at Navi Mumbai, this is possible only at mutually convinient time on weekdays or Saturday.
I realised, I would be appropriate to note the views of FM regarding selling/retaining, pricing,etc before listing it on sale thread. Hence folks please express your thoughts, so as to help me to arrive at proper decision.
Regards
Sandip

You can post in sale section so that FM will know better.

It's a keeper. Unless you are absolutely sure of never going back to movies in near future, keep it. It's a winner at that price.

Which price? Buying price or selling price?

Depends on the availability

Is SVS available in India? If yes, the case would be different. If no, case would be different.

@Ranjeetrain, you are correct.

If available then the case would be different. If no, case would be different.

I have checked it is available for $749 for India (No shipping charges were there).

You googled it right?

Careful! Speed googling can lead you to make wrong decisions. Check this on the same page.

Free shipping in continental USA. I hope you read that. Also that the OP mentioned it as ex Mumbai price

Yes Ranjeet, I agree. But I tried to add in cart and still there was no shipping charges for my India Address, it was one click behind to make the final PayPal payment (I was on PayPal page to make the payment for total $749).

But I am not sure if they or someone else (India Govt) charge any import or custom charges for that before delivery.

 

[ranjeetrain]

It would be amazing if SVS can ship it free worldwide. And I am sure the news will go out like wild fire overnight, that SVS is shipping its products free worldwide.

Customs would only let it go if it escapes their eyes. And that would be extremely lucky (it's not a small box after all).

 

[prepress]

Yes, That's the only reason I am not going to make the payment on PayPal. It can be a big risk. I tested same thing with BIC America, see below info


BIC America Formula F-12 Subwoofer System | Overstock.com

Item Subtotal : 15,975
Shipping: 8,270
Duty & VAT : 5,238

TOTAL : 29,483

There was an option to pay the Duty and VAT as advance (to avoid any later issues), I selected that and then the above price appears. In that way... we may have to pay these amounts in SVS case. There is nothing mentioned about that on their website but they are processing the order.

Thanks gobble, spirovious and ranjeetrain for your feedback. Have some partnering gear also for cosideration (Marantz SR7002, Yamaha NS-555) to dispose. Let the better half approve the proposal then they will be on sale thread shortly.
