Sounds good.

I don't have a problem with this.  It was obvious that the 240v
conversion
would involve you taking some money for your time.  I opted out of
this
coversion, as I wanted to retain the machine in an unmodified state so
that
I could return it via a friend in the US if it went wrong one day.  I
think
Tony just wants another AT himself, and thinks other HA's can benfit in
such
a good toy as well. Making a bit of money on the side is not the
driving
factor, so I don't think Tony was worried I had opted out of the 20quid
conversion.

I joined the bulk buy early on, for one reason.  I've wanted an
AudioTron
since Mark (I think) did a review on his website, I liked the look of
the
unit.  At the time of the original RIO bulk buy I stayed out since I
wanted
to hang on for an AudioTron.  For me to get an AudioTron on its own to
my
home was looking to cost me about 350ukp after postage, VAT etc.  I
even
looked at getting freinds to buy one in the US etc.  The bulk buy
looked a
lot easier and cheaper, and with others also taking part meant I'd have
my
UK'ers to talk to about the AT when I finally got it.

I'm happy to wait till July.  By getting the European ones I think we
are
helping Turtle Beach realise that there decision to look outside the US
was
worth it.  Anyway it'll give me more time to play with the Welch
Allyn
Barcode scanner that I got from the last Bulk Buy I took part in.#
