I brought this about 4 weeks ago with the plan on integrating it into my home theater and Google Home, so I could "Hey Google, turn on the TV" and have it turn on the TV, the amp, switch inputs, etc.

But I never ended up unpacking it.  I opened the box, took out the remote, put it back in, and haven't touched it since.

Any interest on this? They seem to go for around $400-$500 new.  FYI I am in Auckland, pickup is fine.

Yep, $399 at Mighty Ape.

 

I could well be interested, but please post the asking price (for me, including shipping to PN). 

 

Also, would you supply the receipt, for warranty purposes?

 

Thanks!

Sorry for the late reply, price is $360 plus any shipping.

Pickup is fine.

Thanks. And will the receipt be supplied, and would warranty transfer be valid? I’d need to be sure of that otherwise the 10% saving compared to buying new isn’t worth it.

 

Edit: don't worry about this; at $360, I've decided I'd elect to purchase from a retailer, as I've seen PB Tech frequently drops the price to around that level, most recently earlier this month.

Ah, my bad; I had a look on Trademe and couldn't see anything under $480 (PBTech) but looking on the MightyApe site I see it for $399.  So reducing to $320.

As for the warranty, last time I asked a retailer in NZ these are not normally transferable.  I might be able to get a replacement receipt from HN but it will have my details on it (name and address, phone etc.) so not happy about giving all that away to someone else.

Let me know if your still keen.

Sorry, lack of assurance of warranty transfer is a deal-breaker for sure. Good luck selling it - or just use it yourself!

Having checked recently with Spark about this (for a phone), I don't see a lot (if any) companies in NZ allowing for warranty transfers when selling an item.

But anyway, down to $300.
