Quoted from joetechbob:Another perspective. Just paid for mine and it’s around $8k for everything minus butter. Market seems to be around $8500 to $9k for that config, used. So a $500 to $1000 premium beyond the $1500 down payment seems to be inline with the second hand market, except you would get it NIB. So buyer can decide if the additional ~$500 premium beyond this at $2950 for NIB is worth it...
This is a great point. I bought out someone at $2000 for their spot. So i was essentially paying a $500 premium to take their spot in line. To me, the additional $500 is cheaper than what I'd have to spend on the secondary market. Plus, I now get to customize my Blood Suckers Edition with all the bells and whistles I find necessary while getting it NIB.
