"This is not some 100 beta board scam that you have send a band wire to, this is in the tens of thousands of orders.

Dammy"


Posting this news I saw on another site that I thought was interesting, but don't like to post there because of the negativity.  

Is this true?  There was some calculations as far as cost putting these 10,000s of orders in the $10,000,000.00 range.  

The one good question that was being asked was, if companies were buying these in such large quantities then why are they not for sell anywhere?   Has anyone seen C64x computers for sale at any other place other then the CUSA website?  Where did all these 10,000s of computers go to?

Barry posted here that he had spoken with Jeri Ellsworth.
I'm not going to claim that is the connection of which he speaks, but Jeri had some success in marketing with QVC.
Is something along those lines possible?

Of course it's possible but AFAIK nobody at CUSA or their fanbase have said anything about QVS or similar. I have read that there is a brick & mortar big box store who will be getting the first orders, but no word on which store that is. My guess is Best Buy, which is probably the biggest consumer electronics big box in Florida - this would make it a natural choice for Barry.

"QVC's U.S. operations are based in the Studio Park complex, which houses its corporate headquarters, studio and broadcasting facilities. Studio Park is the former corporate offices of Commodore Business Machines."

Ironstone Partners sold the C64DTV, Jeri Ellsworth just designed the hardware for them.

And it was sold on QVC.
