paid $6500 for RED 18-50mm T3 a few weeks ago

[Abdelhay Elanbassi]

I revived my RED 18-50mm T3 Metric on Dec 23 which I paid $6500 and now it's only $3995 when I asked for price adjustment the bomb squad refuse. The lens still it the original package and not sure what to do. Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

I believe they are allowing some sort of step-up program within 31 days.

How many days ago did you get it?

[Brent@RED]

Step up program? Not that I am aware of.

Sorry, Abdelhay, the price reduction went into effect when Jim posted it and it is not retroactive to sales prior to the reduction.

Oh, sorry. I should have said "some sort of benefit".

[Abdelhay Elanbassi]

Receive it on Dec 23, 2009 (about 18 days ago) and guess what I did not test my Red one yet as I don't have the batteries yet :(

What are you talking about? I thought Brent's answer was definitive. What are we missing?

[Andrew clemson]

Its unfortunate, but thats the way of things.......... bad timing I'm afraid.

We've got an old 300mm that Id love to trade for the Pro 300mm!!

I think Roberto was refering to this quote of Jim's:

We are giving a months heads up... 30 days longer than Apple! I bought 3 more G4 towers one week before the new G5's were announced. Ouch.

Though I'm not sure that benefits Abdelhay.

At the time you purchased it, you thought the price was fair. You could have bought a mint used one for under $4000 if you were looking to save money. Prices go up & down, that is life.

I agree with you, someone was willing to sell me 18-50, just for $3000.00 couple of months ago.
