Damn.. I need this but can't right now. How long will you be doing this? Brand new or refurbished? Warranty too? Shipping? Reseller or you know a guy or what? Tell us more!

Can you tell us your opinion on the chair features? Like tilt limiter, lumbar(posturefit?), casters?

Thanks!

What about Embodys? Can you ship internationally?

Probably. They weigh a ton.

I know a guy. These are new but open boxed for a 3 day demo (corporate sales). I think there is 3rd party warranty, but these chairs are built to last. Don't know how long, depends when they sell out I guess. I like the regular adjustable lumbar support. Posturefit isn't that great imo. In fact, the basic version is perfect, any additions is splurging to "make the chair yours." Some might want to switch up the colors or get chrome, but I think the default carbon is an iconic look (like the thinkpad). If I were to get an addon, it might be the headrest.

no embodys, and tbh, I don't like them as much. I suppose I can try but it might be too pricey to make it worthwhile.

Thanks for the info!

I'm still very interested. I'm tired of buying $100 chairs and it just doesn't seem worth it to get one for $200-300. Might as well go for one that will be comfy, last a long time, and has high resell value. I've been wanting one for a while. Looked at the others and they seem nice, but the aeron is just plain cool and functional. Will be easy to sell just by telling people it's used a lot in movies.

Just a little concerned about the warranty. If they were bought and opened as corporate demoes then shouldn't the warranty have started when they purchased them? They seem to be pretty durable though and I doubt things break too often.

Will you still be able to this in a month or two? I have a very early July BFL single hopefully coming soon and would 100% want one if it does come soon. If not there is still a 50-75% chance I would still get one within a couple months. Regardless of the BFL single I have plenty of coins now, just being cautious about buying a luxury item at the moment.

I would be getting a plain size B carbon. How much for chrome?

Was wondering the same. How about Malaysia?

Maybe forgo the chrome if luxury is not most important. It's ~$100 more and you won't see it when sitting on it. These things sell fast since it's almost 50% off retail, probably sell out in a week or 2. Not sure about warranty since these are essentially advertisement costs and not sold via normal channels. Pretty sure you won't be getting the legit HM 12 year, but a 3rd party one.

Problem is not can I ship, but are you guys willing to pay for it. Retail shipping international from US is extremely expensive, I'm just put in the stats for Malaysia into ups calculator, and it quoted me $1000. I am sure there are better rates some where, so if you can find shipping option from Los Angeles to your country, we'll just use that.

Stats according to amazon: Product Dimensions: 26 x 25 x 26 inches ; 57 pounds

Payment buttons for coinbase (paste into .html file and open in browser)
b1 $630 basic + lumbar
b2 $700 fully adjustable (better deal for only $70 more)
Prices are adjustable so put in the right amount via honor code. Those are the two best options in my opinion.
Size C +75
No Arms -30
Leather arms +45
Headrest +75

Code:

Fully adjustable means for arms and tilt limiter angle? lumbar adjustment is built-in cause it slides, right?

Coinbase means instant payment? No escrow? :(

So, the chair I want would cost $700... You tease us saying $600 shipped :p

What about basic + lumbar + adjustable arms(standard tilt)?

It's starting to become too costly for me(extra features needed and btc/usd price is currently tanking). I was thinking I would be spending ~6btc.

Yes to fully adjustable

You can get escrow too, but you can go through the trouble to setting it up. Use john K i guess since it's the only name i've heard multiple times. The only issue is if prices crash before I get the btc, then I get screwed. They seem to be going down since this thread started.

I wasn't certain what the $600 price was at first too. But it actually is the most basic chair + the arms. The arms can even be removed for a cheaper chair.

I'd go with the fully adjustable version if you want what you said. You won't be saving much but getting nice features.
