I've just seen the Epic price reduction warning from Jim. Whilst we don't know the exact % the reduction will be, it sounds like it'll be substantial ($$). Now, I don't have an Epic but have access to one. The DP with it isn't too concerned about the price reduction, as he says the $38K price was the 2012 price anyway.

However, as there will be a lot of people that panic or feel they've lost out (this year's buyers) I had an idea. It might be a bad one, but, here goes:

For a limited time, could be 1 week or 1 month, drop all accessories by the value of the price reduction in the Epic body. So, a 20% reduction gets a 20% reduction on an accessory.

Make it available to Epic owners only that fall within the given goalposts set by RED and, as I say, limited time on the deal.

Maybe even limit the numbers of items that can be purchased in the 'Special Epic Owners Sale' (to reduce profiteering) - or manage the reduction as a special credit on certain items.

This way, anyone that feels stressed can pay more $$ and get accessories that are reduced by the same % as the brain.

RED win by keeping any unhappy people (there'll be a few, no doubt!) onside with a special deal whilst new owners get the brain at the reduced cost.

Seems like a good idea?

Might be crazy, but RED is sort of known for these type of things. :yesnod:
 
Give an inch and people want a mile.

Every time Red announces a deal or price reduction these threads pop up.

Red announces they're lowering prices, and a bunch of people want them to discount accesories. Red makes an awesome and affordable camera and people want it to do more and cost less. Red offers upgrades and people whine that's it's not good enough.

The price of accessories will drop when the cost to make them drops. Stop whining when the deal isn't to your advantage. Stop asking for discounts and free handouts.

Just stop.
 
I just bought 2 epics with many accessories. I hope Epic-x goes down 6K, dragon version Epic-X keep the original Epic price, so I lost no money because I got the free upgrade.
