Hi guys. I have some good news for some of you interested in purchasing some
Icom products during their "secret sale". It all started when I wrote HRO www.hamradio.com and asked them about giving the community a Christmas/Holiday deal. Well, we got it! This is the deal. On Sat Oct 16th there will be a secret sale at HRO. The price marked for the R-75 will stay the same $525 but, if you order on Sat, you will get $50 off on TOP of the $50 rebate. Meaning, you'll be charged only $475 for it. Then after rebate you pay $425 for a brand new R-75 with Free DSP and Free shipping. What a deal! Plus, if you read the letter down below from the person at HRO, you will find hidden deals on other radios too. If you don't wish to wait till sat, just order right now before stock runs out and write this in the comments box "Please Apply Icom Day Discount" The order won't be processed till sat the 16th and will ship on Mon. Just read the bottom letter from me to HRO and HRO's letter back to me. Great deals! You'll see more posts from me on this matter so don't get upset. I hope some of you guys spread the word and cross post this for me. Thanks Glenn, your timing could not be better. Here's the deal .. we have a 'secret sale' on Saturday. I cannot advertise it, as Icom will not permit us to advertise in the national magazines and I cannot advertise this on our web page either. However, all orders submitted on Saturday October 16th on-line will get this special Icom Discount, even though it is not displayed on our web page. You CAN provide all the details for the order in advance, but I will run the order Saturday - just put in the comments field "Please apply Icom Day Discount" .. the order has to be run in our system on Saturday, so it would ship Monday the 18th in most cases. The Icom Day Discount discount is $10 on Icom handhelds [all Icom ham transceivers, and includes all Icom handheld receivers as well] $20 on Icom mobiles [includes 706, 703 and PCR1000 series] $50 on HF radios [not including 706/703] but includes the R75 and R8500 receivers $100 off on the PW1 amp and IC7800 So, the bottom line is I can sell you this radio for $475 .. and you send in the $50 rebate from Icom bringing the final price price to you as $425 Feel free to send this message to anyone you know ..

Right now it's $525 with a $50 rebate bringing it to $475. I know it's cheap to some people but I'm going over my budget for a radio but have my heart set on this one! My question and suggestion is this. Will you please run that special again where the end price was $450 like you once did? If you dropped the price to $500 I'd buy one right away. My suggestion is to run a Christmas/Holiday special in Oct for say one or two days. Yes really. It's only 2 months away actually. If you did, I'd plaster it all over the radio forums to let people know about this great deal and show my appreciation. If you find it in your saleman's heart to run a little extra special "can't turn it down" deal for $500, let me know and I'll buy one right away. Thank you guys Glenn |

Think about all the nimrods on eBay hawking "like new" units for $400+.....
......this is so typical of Icom. When you buy a new radio, wait a couple of months, they'll either discontinue it (Icom Pro I, II, II) or they'll slash the price...or both! $425 for an R-75....sheesh! Bet there are alot of poor SOB's that paid full boat when that radio was introduced, what was it about $599 plus another $100 for the DSP? "Lucky" wrote in message ... Hi guys.

Yes, it was introduced in 1999 so it's not that old but still almost 5 years
is not that recent either. You have to remember, this sale was more for private customers in the know because it was unannounced except by me. But I think it's worth $425 for sure right? Brand new with dsp and free shipping too. But I guess I would kind of upset to see it this cheap. But other people got deals on it too I think. Lucky "patgkz" wrote in message ...

Maybe,
but good radios are good for years. I myself bought a Yaesu FRG-7 which is like 25 years old. I got one in great condition and it works fine. Many people are after old radios cause in many cases they were built better and have a personality all their own. Look at how many people want 30 year old tube radios?

Perhaps,
but you forget I contacted them, not the other way around. And, I don't think saving $100 on the R-75 is looked upon as a price that needs shilling to me. But that's my take.

It all started when I wrote HRO www.hamradio.com and asked them about giving the community a Christmas/Holiday deal. Well, we got it! This is the deal. On Sat Oct 16th there will be a secret sale at HRO. The price marked for the R-75 will stay the same $525 but, if you order on Sat, you will get $50 off on TOP of the $50 rebate. Meaning, you'll be charged only $475 for it. Then after rebate you pay $425 for a brand new R-75 with Free DSP and Free shipping. What a deal! Plus, if you read the letter down below from the person at HRO, you will find hidden deals on other radios too. If you don't wish to wait till sat, just order right now before stock runs out and write this in the comments box "Please Apply Icom Day Discount" The order won't be processed till sat the 16th and will ship on Mon. Just read the bottom letter from me to HRO and HRO's letter back to me. Great deals! You'll see more posts from me on this matter so don't get upset. I hope some of you guys spread the word and cross post this for me. Thanks Glenn, your timing could not be better. Here's the deal .. we have a 'secret sale' on Saturday. I cannot advertise it, as Icom will not permit us to advertise in the national magazines and I cannot advertise this on our web page either. However, all orders submitted on Saturday October 16th on-line will get this special Icom Discount, even though it is not displayed on our web page. You CAN provide all the details for the order in advance, but I will run the order Saturday - just put in the comments field "Please apply Icom Day Discount" .. the order has to be run in our system on Saturday, so it would ship Monday the 18th in most cases. The Icom Day Discount discount is $10 on Icom handhelds [all Icom ham transceivers, and includes all Icom handheld receivers as well] $20 on Icom mobiles [includes 706, 703 and PCR1000 series] $50 on HF radios [not including 706/703] but includes the R75 and R8500 receivers $100 off on the PW1 amp and IC7800 So, the bottom line is I can sell you this radio for $475 .. and you send in the $50 rebate from Icom bringing the final price price to you as $425 Feel free to send this message to anyone you know ..

Right now it's $525 with a $50 rebate bringing it to $475. I know it's cheap to some people but I'm going over my budget for a radio but have my heart set on this one! My question and suggestion is this. Will you please run that special again where the end price was $450 like you once did? If you dropped the price to $500 I'd buy one right away. My suggestion is to run a Christmas/Holiday special in Oct for say one or two days. Yes really. It's only 2 months away actually. If you did, I'd plaster it all over the radio forums to let people know about this great deal and show my appreciation. If you find it in your saleman's heart to run a little extra special "can't turn it down" deal for $500, let me know and I'll buy one right away. Thank you guys Glenn |

But that has nothing to do with the so-called 'private sale' you describe. One has to figure if they are having a 'sale' then they'll want to 'sell' as many units as they can. Something to think about. Lucky "dxAce" wrote in message ... Lucky wrote: Yes, it was introduced in 1999 so it's not that old but still almost 5 years is not that recent either. You have to remember, this sale was more for private customers in the know because it was unannounced except by me. But I think it's worth $425 for sure right? I hate to jump in here and add that it wasn't too private as at the bottom of the email you received it states "Feel free to send this message to anyone you know .." (read more further below). Nothing wrong with it, but as one reads the email you received, you, and perhaps others are being used as shills by both ICOM and HRO. Just my .000002 cents worth. dxAce Michigan USA Brand new with dsp and free shipping too. But I guess I would kind of upset to see it this cheap. But other people got deals on it too I think. Lucky "patgkz" wrote in message ... Think about all the nimrods on eBay hawking "like new" units for $400+..... .....this is so typical of Icom. When you buy a new radio, wait a couple of months, they'll either discontinue it (Icom Pro I, II, II) or they'll slash the price...or both! $425 for an R-75....sheesh! Bet there are alot of poor SOB's that paid full boat when that radio was introduced, what was it about $599 plus another $100 for the DSP? "Lucky" wrote in message ... Hi guys.
