  • 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 :)

Significant Update...

Thanks for the heads-up. Fixed now.

By the way, for everyone using Google Docs, you can make a copy of the spreadsheet into your own private area and then price out your own configurations. It's really handy to tell the difference between ordering this year or next.

I was surprised to see that if you order the same set of parts as the EPIC-M after the first of the year, you'll only save $3650. That's only a 6.7% savings. So I'm thinking maybe just go ahead and buy the EPIC-M now.
 
I just realized that stage 2, its way better deal in every single angle than stage 3.


STAGE 2
Keep your RED and get and EPIC-X for $19,500.00:
1) If you decide to keep your RED you only end up paying $19,500 for your EPIC.

2) In case you resell your used RED ONE MX below market let say $19500. Therefore your Upgrade to EPIC- X was free.
You end up paying for you EPIC X- $17,500

STAGE 3
Exchange your RED for and EPIC-X for $10,500.
You end up paying for you EPIC X- $28,000
17,500 CREDIT + 10,500 UpGrade = $28,000

I honestly never thought it that way. I missed the point.
 
I think many of us were a bit confused as to what and how the stages may have worked....as soon as i sat down and did the actual math on it and laid it all out....i said why am I opting for stage 3 on one of my two cameras....i IMMEDIATELY called RED and switched my 2nd RED to a STAGE 2.....WoW, was that the right decision.

Stage 3 makes more sense if you never went MX; you won't sell a RED with original M sensor for $17.5k, but RED will still give you that much in credit when you trade it in.

The bean counters at RED must be bleeding from all orifices at the very thought, but they don't get it the way Jim & Jarred do; people will remember this deal *for ever*, and it'll make RED customers of them for life.

As I said to Jarred once before, people like being treated right. This is treating people far better than simply 'right'.

Mounts aside, name one company in the industry which projects price increases 5 months ahead such as this "Significant Update" has done?

Maybe I'm not fully understanding your question but I would guess any company that can put one and one together would see that there is going to be price increases. It's just a matter of whether they want to publicly announce it. So with that said, my answer for you would be, I don't have enough time to list them all.

By "projects" he meant "announces," not "predicts."

If this qualifies as Stage 4, open to everyone, Jim said all stages would be available before the end of the year.

If Stage 4 only qualifies for people with Red Ones, then this is a very good question...

Quoted from their EPIC STAGE Clarification and update thread :x

STAGE 4: Purchase EPIC S35 Brain

Available to RED ONE camera owners that were invoiced by RED or completed the official RED ownership transfer process after May 22, 2010 ( as well as all non-RED ONE owners)
Cost is $28,000 for 1x S35 MYSTERIUM-X brain with PL mount.
Will begin shipping once all Stage 3.5 orders have been notified they are ready for delivery. You must take delivery within 30 days from notification that your order is ready for delivery . Notifications go back to the order of date/time order placed.
 
Just thought about bringing this back up. The Epic is Shipping and its good to put everything into perspective. I am really curious to know what Jim and Co. will do to all the Red Ones that are traded in for the Epic? A Museum? :)

There are some significant updates and changes that I would like to share…


6. Stage 3.5 is the same as Stage 3 except you receive an EPIC-X Brain only and not the complete Stage 3 package. Net due is $10,500.

Does this "Epic-X Brain only" for Stage 3.5 include the PL mount and/or the Side SSD Module?
 
Would I be correct in thinking that a Stage 3.5 Epic-X brain will come with the upgraded titanium PL mount, but not a side SSD module?
 
EPIC-X Stage 2 Net Price

EPIC-X Stage 2 Net Price

Hi All,

Just wondering if EPIC-X Stage 2 net price is still USD19,500? I'm preparing for my turn on EPIC-X Stage 2 and asked my sales rep to make sure the total amount that I will have
to pay once they notified me regarding this. His answer was "The total for (2x) Epic-X stage 2 packages comes out to $26,500.00". That means one EPIC-X Stage 2 is USD18,500?
I'm totally confused.

I have paid a USD5,000 deposit so the price stated above, either the 19,500 or the 18,250, is the total price including the deposit, correct?

Please, please confirm the correct price for EPIC-X Stage 2... :(

Thanks heaps guys

Best thing is to confirm with your rep but AFAIK the total price for a stage 2 is 19,500 and with your 5000 deposit you would have a $14500 balance due, but if you did the MX upgrade on your redone then you get a $1250 credit, so I suspect that is where the difference is: $14500-1250 = 13250 and if you had 2 it would be $13250x2=$26,500.
