Trying a slightly different tack - I don't really want it but would grudgingly make space should it turn up on my doorstep!

Moxxey - can I get in first and say that if you feel like off-loading your Lab 5's for £1900 please give me first dibs!

[quote user="moxxey"] [quote user="Puncher"] Hence my comment about pre-owned TV prices for outdated technology - the days of buying a 5 year old TV and expecting another 5 years from it have long since gone, flat panel TV's are now commodity items regardless of the party frock it's dressed in.

[quote user="moxxey"] [quote user="JoC"] I was talking to my dealer, and to get swap out the MKIII for the MKIV I would have to pay in the region of approx £3.5k [/quote] Heard back from my dealer who said my upgrade is going to be closer to £4K on top of the traded-in BV7-40 MKIII and this is *before* the price increase

I actually noticed this yesterday morning and was going to raise it on the forum but decided against it - I didn't want to appear desperate!

To be frank, I'm amazed at the pre-owned prices of the early BV7's - I find it very hard to understand (and I've got my tin hat on) why anyone would pay thousands now for a TV with an early LCD panel, even one with an aluminium frame!

MorethanAV's website stocklist is showing a couple of brand new BV7 MKIV plus pre-owned stand and speaker for £7250 from June onwards! see picture below - yes, I know it's small

[quote user="The_Beonic_Man"] If the price was £600 or thereabouts I might be interested. [/quote] If the price to migrate from version to version was only £600 I think we'd all have one - unfortunately this isn't going to be the case If I had to guess I'd reckon on about £3K - of course that is a pure and utter
