Enjoy! :D P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chucky.egg Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 Is this the same thing as Muddy250's cradle? And does it mean that he won't be selling his through eBay and the forum as previously "planned"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These will be a modaco exclusive! ;) C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chucky.egg Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 That's cool Any plans for a USB socket version? So we can plug it into a PC to charge and sync, and into the mains to charge when there's no PC around? I've got USB and power leads coming out of my ears, so it'd be really useful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gazbert Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 Cradle good. Paying £24.99 for a 99p usb cable and a lump of moulded plastic? Bad. Come on guys! At £24.99 you must be making about £23 pure profit. Let's see a more reasonable price. Hands up who'd pay £24.99 for this? Now hands up who'd pay £10 for this? What's that? 10 times more people would buy one for a tenner than would for £24.99? How surprising. As much as I'd love a cradle, I can't justify paying this stupid amount of money for one.

Guest Seraphic Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 £15 is as high as I'd go. I want a cradle badly for my C500, but not £25-badly. Cradle good.

Guest chucky.egg Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 I'd agree to some extent. £10-£15 is fine, but £25 is a bit steep. I could have sworn that when I first looked they were £19.99 Did I imagine that? Sellers market though, this is the only commercially produced cradle that I know of.

Guest Seraphic Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 Yep, I saw them at £20 and was almost tempted. At £25 I won't be buying one.

I paid £21.75 with delivery, and its already been dispatched :P Yay being quick! ;), its cheaper than an iPod dock, which i bought.. maybe they're both overpriced, but the difference it makes, its worth it for me ;) Edited April 26, 2005 by RazorD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dez16v Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 I was bidding on e-bay for two of the cradles for me and my brother, but I started my bid at £10.00 each, but stopped at £17.50 they finally sold at £20.00 each. That was the final price on e-bay. Plus £5.00 for postage. Like earlier posts, I think £25.00 is too expensive. But in this case, supply and demand come in to the equation. After all, the cradles are not available from anywhere else!! Perhaps muddy250 should sell them on e-bay for £25.00 and £15.00 to Modaco members? I am sure there would be enough takers for him to make a profit at those prices. dez16v ( Retailing Genius ) ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cjb110 Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 I got mine from here It doesn't look quite as good as the above though, and its a bit too light meaning two hands are normally needed to get the phone out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Shop @ MoDaCo Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 Cradle good - Bloody excellent Paying £24.99 for a 99p usb cable and a lump of moulded plastic? Bad - Have you got one, seen one, where do you buy USB cables for 99p unless you want several hundred Come on guys! At £24.99 you must be making about £23 pure profit. Let's see a more reasonable price - You obviously know a lot about manufacturing and the hard work which has gone into this project Hands up who'd pay £24.99 for this? - Try 30+ people Now hands up who'd pay £10 for this? What's that? 10 times more people would buy one for a tenner than would for £24.99? How surprising - You are joking, how do you think we could possibly make this device and sell it for £8.52 As much as I'd love a cradle, I can't justify paying this stupid amount of money for one - Save your pennies up then <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest pisquee Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 I think it's fine for you to charge what you like for the cradle - and if people are buying at that price, then you could define it as being worth that much. I also have no arguments with running a special promo offer on them with the bundled discounted memory, although it seems unfair to not also still be selling the cradles by themselves. I would say that most power-users, the ones i would asume to be wanting a cradle the most (i.e. your core market demograph?) would already have bought their memory cards at the same time or soon after the initial acquisition of the phone. So to basically say that you don't want them to buy them seems a bit rediculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
