So.... did anyone in the group NOT get the sold out letter?

I put my Grudig 650 for sale on eBay after buying this one. Sigh.

Guess you guys grabbed 'em all -- the site says "Sorry no longer
available" for that item. It lets me put it in the cart,

though....

See the message I received (I posted it on this thread). I am asking them
if this is a raincheck or an outright cancellation. Will see.

I did not get an Email saying the order was cancelled. It just said
cancelled when I checked it on the site.

bucks.

Perhaps we should consider that sometime - a group buy of, say, ICOM

R75s,
or Sat 800s. It takes nerves of steel and trust, because we have to

pool
the money together under one person. These days an escrow service could
address that. Not what size batch we would need to buy to equal the
discount the big guys get.

You lucky man.

Hate to make you jealous, but mine says "Ready to Ship" (of course it
might also be cancelled in an hour). Maybe so many people ordered that
their online stock system couldn't keep up.

Mine was canceled too. :-(

Any emails from Discovery.com explaining why? I reveid none.

Got my cancellation Email. Said that I cancelled it or zero stock.
When I ordered it it was in stock. I wrote them an Email. We'll see
but I think no chance.

Want to sell at a profit? I'll give you $205.00 for it. :) :)

Me, the original poster. My order on the Discovery Channel site says
"Ready to Ship." Believe me, I posted here a MOMENT after I placed my
order. I was not going to post it before I tried placing an order
myself. Sorry. I'll post any changes to my order status here.

Sorry - just went back and the web site indicate sthey are out now.
Glad I got to order at least one. This is a sweet deal if in fact I
get one for that price.
"Brenda Ann Dyer" wrote in message

I can't order one.. :( Even though I'm at a US address... because
their website picks up my IP address and says I can't shop there.
Anyone order one for me I can pay for it...

MR,

When you receive your Grundig Satellit 800 M; an "I Got Mine"
Report would be nice; including a brief out of the box Power-Up
and Listeners Test.
