as NEW DigitalStorm BEHEMOTH price slashed 60%

Per Alex at Digital Storm, as of February 11, 2015.

Originally posted by Alex ... Moving forward, we have decided that the sale for older units should not be promoted on the forums as customers on the forums are generally looking to purchase a new unit. For customers that want to sell their old system, I recommend trying to sell them on eBay or other outlets.

Nothing to do with them standing behind their product. People want the latest stuff. Electronics hold their value very poorly. Typical loss for somewhat current electronics is 50%. It gets worse from there.

There's exceptions. I have sold TVs with less of a loss, but not sure that's true anymore

Highly specialized gear like synthesizers can hold it's value

But generally, don't buy electronics thinking you can recoup much of your spend later on. And that's not DSs fault.

As for their forums, it's common to not allow sales on many forums in my experience.

Digital Storm has made a determination as to the advertising of previously owned units on this web site. Digital Storm's stated policy (referenced above) does not allow said advertising.

Any concerns with this policy should be directed toward the management of Digital Storm at ([email protected])

Originally posted by race1911 ..that's really bad when someone pays over $5000 to your company for a laptop and has no place on your forum site for those people wishing to upgrade, trade or sell older units......there are very few outlets to sell high end used units and the people in the know about your products is the absolutely best place to post them for sale..........people on eBay and Craigslist want to spend a lot less money and have no idea how high end these units are...I guess Digital Storm does not stand behind their product for too long, I paid over $5000 for this unit a year ago and can't even sell it for $2000 (it has been used only 3 times)

As a Customer who has been reading these forums for over a year and posting since Last year and now finally a verified customer.. I can assure you they do stand behind their product.

Standing behind what they build and sell does not mean they have to help you or me sell it when we no longer want it. I agree with Bprat maybe you should not have bought such an expensive computer.. I suspect you are having money issues and decided paying that much money for a laptop was more than you should have and are trying to recoup some of your loss. Trust me I understand, I think we all have made those mistakes.. But the issue I have is instead of you learning from your mistake your blaming others, which means you will only repeat it.

If I had 2000$ I would buy the laptop from you.. My old Asus G72 is only good for word processing now, But I have some expensive dental bills coming and need to save my spare cash.

Place it on Craigs list, Try Ebay... If you use Ebay take some good shots and set your minimum bid for 1500$ you might be surprised at what it really will sell for.

Good Luck
