View Full Version : Original Price Tag Sebastian Scherrer January 28th, 2004, 01:42 PM Hello folks, just a short question - I would like to know at what initial price the XL1s has been introduced back in 2001. Anyone remembering? Best regards, Sebastian Don Palomaki January 28th, 2004, 06:19 PM Per the press release in July 2001, MSRP was US$4699, but the intial street price was closer to US$3700. Lorinda Norton January 28th, 2004, 09:47 PM Yep. I bought mine from Edirol in August 2001 for $3899.00. Chris Hurd January 29th, 2004, 08:55 AM It was Canon USA's intent to offer the XL1S at the same price as the original XL1. It was their dealer's intent to sell it for the same "street price" they'd been charging for the XL1. Chris Mueller February 2nd, 2004, 10:36 PM What about the XL1 when it came out? Sebastian Scherrer February 3rd, 2004, 04:46 AM I remember it was about 10 000 DM here in Germany, which compares to perhaps 4600 Dollars about that time... Chris Hurd February 3rd, 2004, 11:35 AM That's right; as I said previously, the XL1 and XL1S had the same initial retail price when they were introduced (Jan '98 and July '01). |
