A couple of points... ...I don´t charge Paypal fees, I don´t charge shipping insurance and there are no import duties with my units, we have a free trade agreement with almost every part of the world, you just pay VAT, like anywhere. If something is wrong I solve it, if it can´t be solved I pay for the retun of the shipment. This is why I makre sure to triple check every unit and to pack it safely. I will not make anymore 2A´s. With regards to the Kenetek, it´s identical to the UREI T4B on the original LA-2A, it´s the single most important component. Ummm...you charged me PayPal fees. Does that mean I get a refund? Lol! Just kidding! ...sort of. Compressor sounds great, though!

Clarification: I don´t charge PayPal fees anymore, I have worked it into the price hence it´s 890.00 now with the Kenetek T4B, selected NOS tubes and Vishay capacitor.
The T4B is the single most important component on an LA-2A, Bill Jones from Kenetek makes an identical replica on the original UREI T4B.

A couple posts up you said people can still pre-order on a wait list.

This is getting confusing for everyone.
As explained to all clients via e-mail the pre-order price is 890.00. The 790.00 version is no longer available. 990.00 in stock PayPal fees have been worked into that price point. Everybody payed PayPal fees on the first batch, some clients did not like that idea and suggested I should work it into the price, so I did. Even with those fees you payed less than 890.00 PayPal charges me 5.4% in Chile, which is crazy high compared to the US but I will just have to deal with it. I need to fix the website with the price structure.

stam my comment was in general but based on what you originally told people here about your pricing. I have not ordered from you so am not on your site or aware of changes to your pricing, other than what you provide here. If people are using paypal to purchase not to gift, the cost to the seller is automatic. You may want to confirm but one of the benefits of using paypal, is that it includes full replacement cost shipping insurance from the seller to the buyer based on the purchase price. It doesn't include the shipping cost. Here in Cdn shippers only include $100 of insurance or you buy more. Paypal for international purchases to me seems like good value as it protects the buyer. I always write an explicit receipt in paypal to protect me as a buyer and I also do the same for people who buy gear from me to protect them. Seems to me you want to have full insurance just in case ? Personally I think splitting paypal fees 50/50 makes sense as it is good for both parties.

Hi Kcatthedog,
There were 2 versions available, 790 with Drip´s T4B and 890 with Kenetek´s T4B. I then decided to have the full second batch done with the Kenetek one and I recommend to all clients to do so as well. Drip makes a great T4B, flawless work and people are very happy with it but we are trying to re-create a vintage piece of gear here as close as possible within a budget and Kenetek´s T4B is indistinguishable from the original UREI with Drip´s being very close as well. At the time of the first batch Kenetek was not an option, then conversations between me and Bill Jones led to the possibility of doing a one off big order at a reasonable price, they are worth every penny but they are much more expensive than other offerings.
During the first batch I made it clear from the start that prices did not include Paypal fees, it was on my website, ebay, emails etc..., there was the wire transfer option as well. I was charged these fees by all providers so thought it was only fair, some people got angry about it so I decided to work those fees into the price.
Chilean postal service includes insurance in their price, they dont charge extra, they just refund you if they lose it or break it. Government policy.
Thanks

Thx for the clarification Stam. I have not ordered any gear from you/Chili before so good to know about its postal service shipping model. The falling Cdn dollar is making gear purchases in US funds just that much more expensive; unfortunately

Audio samples coming in 2 weeks, hopefully a video as well. These babies will come with Panasonic FC capacitors. There are about 30 units left at the 459.00 price point and it´s 490.00 afterwards, they are selling super fast and I would love it for the guys on the forum to get the best deal possible. Thanks!

I'm really looking forward to getting one and putting it through its paces, Josh. And if it's even half as good as your SA2a, expect a glowing review.

I know I made it in! Now I'm just waiting. How much longer do you think, Joshua?? I'm dying to sink my teeth into it. My purchases of both the SA2a and Samar VL37 are directly related to this place... so far, so good!
