  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Group Buy: L'Aigle Exoskeleton

Terry VerHaar said:
I, for one, am completely aware of this as I have been watching closely since early December. However, it really is a separate matter from the issue swe are discussing. L'Aigle is working within the euro economy so it is, perhaps, the loss of an exchange rate winfall as much as anything else. If the company has concerns about this, perhaps it would be best if they identified them as such and dealt with them directly.

And, consider this: The drop in the exchange rate will make euro products much more attractive on the world market. If you combine the fact that many of the 100 group buy units will be in the U.S. "promoting" this high quality product PLUS it is that much more affordable to U.S. buyers - even at full price - it is a double win for L'Aigle!

While I understand L'aigle and his will to protect its income, your point is valid.
L'aigle is well known in western europe, but not really oustide. The group buy could be a great opportunity for the company.
But, would it be fair to accept only outside EU buyers ? No.

The thing is lots of interest were shown after the 17th, but we were only like 70 to have paid for the exo. Even many alternates didn't commit to the end, though they just had to enter, plce the order, receive the info, and pay on the fly, 10 minutes top. But they didn't.
Wire transfer sure is not as good for insurance, but was doable. the 31st dedline enabled us to go to the upper level of 85. It's already a fine price

If it was a matter of trust, I and many others have been praising about the company, and the trust they could give them. Groupbuyers could and should have paid. L'aigle can't postpon it everytime.

If the whole list were in the group buy, they would have a order of more than 150 people. We don't.

L'aigle probably didn't foresee so much clients before the release and probably don't have the manufacturing resources to fulfill so much, because at the same time, they need to sell in France. And I bet there's a lot of interest here too.
 
I have no participation in this group buy however, I am a concerned "citizen" of RedUser and would like to chime in quickly. I have participated in many group buys here and think that they can be really great for both the end users and manufacturers alike. But, I sense the group buys are on shaky ground here on RU and I don't want to see them go away. There have been a few that have gone sideways and the last one caused Jarred to get a little miffed. Hope this all gets sorted.
 
The difference is 'laigle is not a new company they have quite a few products.
Newcomers who didn't paid after the limit should not be able to enter the group (unfortunately, because I too wants too pay less)
I agree though that the initial 100 should be able to pay their deposit in bank wire, (as they were promised a paypal, or when paypal felt through, a cc payment, felt through too). Btw, when it felt trough, you should all have gone to your bank.

The others newcomers and alternates knew directly about the paypal problem, so they shouldn't complain at all.

We have a really good deal for 2k instead of 3900e and people still complaining ?

I'm honestly not complaining about the cost. I agree it's already a good deal. However I am complaining about the principle of the matter. Considering the troubles it seems a relatively simple and all around win-win to let us meet the 100+ goal.

Exactly.

If you are not happy with the terms, opt out now. Do not spread negativity or demand anything in this thread. This is a special, special discount you are all getting. I will not tolerate one more negative post in this thread. Not one.
 
Just letting you all know that this thread is being observed.

Based on the Euro to Dollar exchange rate the current group buy price of 2000€ is actually $4 less today than the 100+ group buy price of 1870€ on Dec 17th. Looking like it may be even cheaper by the time of delivery. Pretty extraordinary deal in my opinion!

Thanks for the perspective.
 
So, do we know when we will have to actually buy this item? (I don't mean deposit, but the "full" group buy price).
 
If any one of you is not satisfied with their purchase , or wish to cancel , I would like to register for the queue. .

Attention: I will be updating this thread this evening with all of the final details for this group by. Stay tuned.

Looking forward to see best possible update on Delivery with Master list.
 
Update:

1. The final number of people involved in this group buy is 93.

2. The final cost for those 93 people is 2, 000 Euro. This is final.

3. I will be receiving my unit on February 20th. I will post a full review in this thread.

4. Other units will start to ship on approximately February 26th

Everyone had plenty of time to pay their deposit. More than enough time, in fact. The time to pay was even extended.

The wise ones who had faith in the product based on the prototype video paid their deposits promptly. The skeptical ones who wanted to wait to see final pictures of the production unit may have missed out. Part of joining a group buy involves a leap of faith on cutting edge technology. I believed from the very first video I saw, so I immediately contacted Pierre in an effort to put together a group buy discount for my fellow Redusers.

I have vision. Great filmmakers, inventors, entrepreneurs etc... all have that in common. They can see ahead of the curve and act when the tiny window of opportunity opens. Those who want proof, have a "wait and see" mentality, and they miss out.

The group buy is closed and final now. If you have not paid your deposit, unfortunately, you are out.

If you are one of the lucky (smart) 93, you are getting a state-of-the-art product for half the price of retail.

I look forward to seeing what you all can do with it.

Best,

Carey
 
Hi Carey,

I wired the money to Pierre on the 31st dec. but my name never got updated. I also emailed him with the wire transfer details but he'd is not reply.

Excellent
 
When/how will we be notified of the balance due and what is the timing on final payment?
 
Sounds good !

Carey, my colleague David Piole did the bank transfert deposit before the 31 and on the list he is not updated, he still be on the 93 or do we need to looking with Pierre ?

Thanks for this group buy and for all the time you spent here for this.
Now can't wait to play with this huge system :)
