This thread is driving me nuts! $400 seems like a lot for a player. You guys who already bought one will have to give us an unbiased opinion on it later this fall.

Could always try for the 200 early bird or 300 for a pono player. Which is not bad. Inferior iPods when they were first released were pretty much more expensive with less GB's included. It's pretty much 400 for the signature series.

You're right - and I did buy a 1st generation clickwheel iPod for around $279 new in our university's bookstore - but used student loan money in graduate school to do it. That sucker lasted a good 7 years without a problem. It wasn't until I started flying overseas to see my girlfriend that I discovered high altitude and moving parts in portable electronics don't go well together. My next iPod also suffered the same fate. Ah damn D! You are making a case for me to get one!

Project Update #19: International Shipping and European VAT
Posted by the PonoMusic Team ♥ Like
International Shipping Charges – Very Important!

You are responsible for adding $15 to your pledge total if your ship-to address is outside of the continental United States. Canada and Mexico are also international territories. If you have made multiple pledges using different Kickstarter accounts then be sure to add $15 to each pledge on each account with an international ship-to address. At the end of the campaign you will receive a Kickstarter survey where you'll be able to specify/confirm your mailing address. If the mailing address you provide is outside of the United States, and you have not added the $15 shipping charge, then we will not be able to ship you your reward. Please make sure you take care of this before the campaign is finished, as attempting to do it afterwards will be very challenging and will likely result in substantial additional charges.

European VAT (Value Added Tax)

We have had numerous inquiries about VAT from our European backers. We have done extensive research to determine how we can best ease the burden of this tax on you. Our final conclusion is to follow in the footsteps of other successful Kickstarter campaigns:

• For pledges with European shipping addresses only:

◦ We will ship packages via UPS with Collect Upon Delivery option.

• We will declare the value of our rewards as follows:

◦ T-shirt and sticker: $15

◦ Poster, T-shirt and sticker: $20 

◦ Black or Yellow PonoPlayer: $299

◦ Limited Edition PonoPlayer: $399

The research from other campaigns shows some inconsistency on the collection of this tax at the shipment address upon delivery—it is most often collected, and sometimes not. It seems to depend on each country and the luck of the recipients. 

If you have the option to ship your rewards to a US address of a friend or family member, of course, this problem is eliminated. You are also free to cancel your pledge any time between now and the end of the campaign should the VAT process or cost be unacceptable to you. However, once the campaign ends, we will proceed to build and ship your product to you if your pledge has been paid.

We very much look forward to working with our supporters to revive the soul of music in the upcoming years.

With our love and appreciation,

The PonoMusic Team

ZZ Top in.

Kind of hoping for Pink Floyd or Led Zeppelin. Looks like maybe no at this hour.

How many of you would change over if they did one with just Eddie Vedder, and the wave doodle.

Na, that was a mistake. There are 500. Would have been damn rare though...

Are you sure about that? I just checked Kickstarter again and it's still showing this:

Limited (0 of 1 remaining)

Estimated delivery: Dec 2014

Yes, scroll through the comments. Pono acknowledged the mistake and the price of $440 was wrong too. Look through the LE's and you'll see the zz top x of 500 offer

My bad - I went to the Pono site to check if Nirvana might have actually been added, just based on Kurts 20th death anniversary and when I did a search for "Nirvana" and it popped up, I thought it had happened. My trigger happy fingers - my bad. No Nirvana Pono's people. Continue on: business as usual.

Nirvana Pono just added!

U bring so much to the thread

My bad Greatplansman - a little trigger happy. Shot myself in the foot. Had an epiphany this morning (sans coffee) that maybe Nirvana was included in the list of artists signature series; did a search as soon as i opened up the laptop, saw "Nirvana" pop up and mad the ass move to hit the PJ thread without reading further. All Apologies

I see the update to 500 now. I bet the person who snagged what looked to be the 1 of 1 ZZ Top is pissed now that there's 500. I wonder if he/she moved their pledge from another artist series because they figured the ZZ Top would be even more rare.
