X10 is going to shake thing up?then what?
« on: August 22, 2011, 01:33:59 PM »

I heard a lot rumours. And I got X10 newsletter says "Stay tuned, X10 is going to shake thing up", not sure what that means, I didn't see anything new except the same garbage newsletter everyday.

The worst thing is, I found a ebay seller which sells X10 products for cheap, but before I put an order, the seller is away, not online till now.

What is going to happen, I hope it happens quickly, not wait like this.

One of the EBay Dealers only has one style module left. They use to sell from one piece to case lots.
Another one changed the price of the XPPF filters by 3 times higher. {corrected my bad math here  :o}
The affiliate program is discontinued for the rest of 2011 if you believe the affiliates web site.

No one is saying what the "Big Changes" are and if anyone does know. That information is not being passed around.
The "Big Changes" screen has been on the sales site for at least a week now.

One eBay dealer who I had bought from before had 25,000 XPPF filters listed in 25 unit lots.  I was going to restock my own inventory when they pulled that listing a week or two ago.

!!!! Wow. Now I am curious about what the monthly sales volume for X10 was.

I heard X10 only since last month, and put an order and tried it early this month. Maybe I have to wait to see if I should get more.

There was a Dave Rye article several years ago on HomeToys which gave a very large number for the number of modules sold to that time.

This eBay listing:  http://www.ebay.com/itm/290514118809

Had 10,000 cases available before it was cancelled.  At $5 a pop, there were a few bucks tied up there.  All this inventory has suddenly disappeared, which leads me to believe something is going on behind the scenes.  Maybe it is a grand repricing scheme to be similar to competing products?

Interesting, but unless X10 has a remarkably simple fix for signal probagation,  I don't see how they can change their pricing.

Did anyone noticed the graphics for "Stay tuned, X10 is going to shake thing up" promotion looks like tablet? Don't know if this was some random choice of graphics on their part.

I looked at it after a few observant users pointed it out.
Not sure what it exactly means.

Maybe some sort of touch-screen controller?
Let's keep the ideas coming.

Interesting, but unless X10 has a remarkably simple fix for signal propagation,  I don't see how they can change their pricing.

Stronger signal levels and AGC to raise the detection threshold above the background noise level should help enormously.

X10 equipment has been incredibly cheap.  I can't buy just the plastic case for what they charge for many of their modules.

Did you notice. There was no mention of what is happening with presently made stuff or a rebuttal to the CEpro story.
