digitalfx.....thanks. Just got your pm...But one question. Why is viagra on your list? Well, i suppose it could help release some built up stress.

send quarters....since I have a collection of them.

Had I known that, I'm not sure whether I would have put down a reservation or not in the first place. Also, I wouldn't have to worry about my project schedule falling apart should I end up canceling at the last minute after being so close.

Well I hope you do whatever it takes to get your RED don't sell you're self short I'm sure you'll work up a plan. You're right you are close and you have a few months to get it done! As Denzel Washington said in Training Day "Man Up!"

Though wouldn't that make the purchasing process a whole hell of a lot of fun?

I wonder if the RED guys would be upset if I had an armored car deliver my payment, entirely in sacks of quarters. :usd:

Seriously, I don't see what the big deal is. I've restrained myself quite a bit in stating my real opinion on this whole matter. But cash, check and wire transfer is entirely normal. Not accepting credit cards for large purchases such as this is completely normal. The fact that RED is allowing a portion of the purchase (up to $7500) to be paid by credit card is rather nice of them. I seriously doubt the limitations on credit card amounts are due to (or at least not entirely due to) transaction fees.

If you saw the kind of terms CC processors impose and the kind of absurd control they have over a business, You'd kinda be reluctant to accept fifty something million in CC payment too! The camera is this cheap because of RED's business model (and that includes payment).

One of my roommates last year paid his rent to the landlord in pennies. Hundreds and hundreds of pounds of pennies.

Needless to say, they fixed the leaky shower.
 
Speaking of metallic tender, In Australia the 5 cent coin, as of May this year is worth 30% more than its currency value in scrap metal.. which means, should you have a million dollars in 5 cent coins.. you stand to make about 300,000$ in profit for scrap metal alone!

Wow, what is the base metal of this coin and what is its mass?
 
I brought some kiwi nickles back once (I think they were nickles) and found that they worked at the laundermat. lol

Same here in the USA with copper pennies. The solid copper ones are worth far more as scrap. Copper is currently about $2.85/lb. cash value. It's against the law to scrap currency though.

Based on comments that are popping up, I don't think a lot of people are reading the entire thread and are instead focusing on the "last page" button to see the current situation. MONEY IS NOT THE ISSUE, THE PAYMENT METHOD IS. I've said this almost every time and still people are assuming that those who have complaints can't afford the camera. This is not true and is a very insulting snap judgment. If that is what you think then keep it to yourself. It doesn't pertain to the real issue.

not trying to start trouble here but it does sound like a money issue to me. it sounds like you're planning to spend money that's not yours. you stated that you don't believe red is scamming you or any of us and that you have the money. so if it's truly your money, why not spend it on what you want? i don't know about you but i actually trust red more than visa. i totally planned on using my credit card so this is a minor $20 inconvenience for me (wire transfer fee). so if the camera is destroyed in shipping or never shows up, do you really think red is going to stop answering the phones? no. but is your cc going to question you up and down? don't know about yours but mine sure would and i have good credit.

i run small business so i know the kind of business and convenience a cc brings in but i also know how terrible these merchant accounts are to deal with. they don't protect the business or the consumer. they protect themselves by raising the rates for everyone because of fraud.

if you have the money and trust red, you're not taking anymore of chance than anyone else here.

Warm regards received... but one question... Why would I or you ever post if we weren't expressing our own point of view or life decisions?

I make no apologies for anything I post. It's easy to think that because we've grown to know Jim and the RED team that we're all friends and friends help friends with money... that somehow they should take your advice on HOW to take your money. They've more than met us half way, by bringing such an amazing bargain to to the market in the first place. Everyone that feels they owe you even more assumes too much, methinks!

RED is an amazing product, but it's not free, nor is it in the range of someone that should be a first time HVX customer. Nor should it be. It's the extreme top end of the market at a lower mid-level price. And that price may force some to put off the purchase, or re-evaluate their needs.

Jim,
No apology is needed. It's just the way your previous post came across. Any way that was my knee-jerk reaction, I would simply prefer to use a Credit card and it has nothing to do with my finances, It’s just my personal preference.

Kind Regards
