Post by: craigapphunt on September 13, 2022, 07:58:44 AM: Ok so if no one else is seeing this and I seem to only be seeing this on my phone it kind of says that it's an issue with my phone right?

Already done. Got the demos at $997 been on the fence for some time and this wacky price thing convinced me to finally take the plunge.

That makes me feel a little better that it might not be a issue with my phone.

Post by: millerwheeler on September 13, 2022, 12:52:59 PM: From what I recall working with them in past demos were units sent to people who did a trial or test and then they change value based on use and scuffs
Title: Re: Maven website oddities
Post by: craigapphunt on September 13, 2022, 01:25:47 PM: As far as I know the demo units are at a fixed price and are just passed back and forth to potential customers until someone doesn't send them back or I imagine they get damaged.

So feasibly you could pay hundreds of dollars over the actual going rate for a item online by not keeping a clean phone? The companies/retailers just gladly take the extra money? No fear of bad public relations.

On our side it comes through for the right price.

Or, you could pay less. It's surprising how often you browse for something and then low and behold a day or two later it's cheaper.
