Yo Carlos, thanks for the heads up man! Been ringing round retailers in the U.K for 2 weeks now checking to see if they received stock of the VCI's yet. But to be honest there is no way in hell am I payin £429 quid for one. You were saying you got yours for £389? was that over the phone or in the shop?

I'm seriously considering getting one on Ebay much cheaper there, anyone recommend?

Yeah it was my girlfriend that rang them (she works as buyer so she got all that phone shizzle down).
They said that they would price match anyone that 'had them in stock' and as you know no-one has them in stock but we quoted Dolphin and DV247 who have them listed at £339 so the women said "ok my best price is £389.

You gotta remember that these are UK versions so a normal AC adapter will power it (not sure if it comes with one prob not) and they are already Firmware v1.2 so no need for the upgrade kit yet. (ill be remapping mine anyway) and 1year warranty and 30 days return if you dont like it.

Seriously they are going on eBay for well over £300 and if they are coming back into stock all the websites will be putting the prices up so the eBay ones will start going up.
Dolphin told me that when they do get them they wont be at the current price.

I know £389 isnt a great price but i was gonna pay £330 for a second hand one . Id rather have the peice of mind.

Hmm yea i think it would be the safest option to spend the extra cash and have peace of mind on it like. really wasn't intending on spending this much for the VCI-100 tho, if I cant get it for £380 from decks.co.uk 2moro I don't know what I will do. Still so tempted to get a certain one of Ebay £320 buy it now including P&P plus it had the green sticker!

What to do what to do, its shit sometimes being a student and having to work on a tiiiiight budget. lol
Im still interested in the Xponent, if anyone wants to sway me towards it! lol

**Karlos Santos** · 05-03-2009, 09:47 AM

Yeah i was seriously tempted at that one on eBay at £320 inc postage myself.
Trying to look at the rear photo it looks like a USA version as it say 9volt DC which is not UK version but i emailed the seller, he says its a UK version although the printing on the back looks USA.

Yeah a budget is a budget. I dont think the Xponent is a good substitute for a VCI imho.

I keep watching them on eBay go through the £300 mark and upwards. Theres one on at £350 Buy It Now which is only £39 less than my new one... Fack that.

**louisf1819** · 05-03-2009, 10:57 AM

lol I have no idea how you can make that out to be American or U.K volts Karlos, u got superman vision? tis blury as hell! I emailed the guy there and he says that he bought it in London and still has the receipt so it still has a few months warranty left on it. What ya think? make the plunge, or ring decks 2moro and demand one for about £360? lol

P.S should be doing revision for mechanics test one tuesday, damn you DJTT!!!

**BentoSan** · 05-03-2009, 01:19 PM

If your buying from DJTT and you live international you still get your warrenty

You have the option to send the unit to us or to Vestax for servicing.

**R2D2** · 05-03-2009, 01:25 PM

9v DC is not just american you can buy a 9v DC power supply at maplins LOL

its only when you buy something that uses AC ( which is mains voltage )

US is 110-120 v UK is 240 v then you have to get a step down converter unless its dual voltage like technics tts

I just picked up a second Vci (black) from ebay new from HTFR ebay shop

for £369

its £439 in store
