I ordered mine on eBay for 99 bucks and had it 2 and 1/2 weeks ago.

For those who bought ipv2 from our authorized vendors has 1 year warranty. Anyone who has issues should contact your sellers first. We provide warranty according to the serial number. Once we confirm the issues, you will get a new one from us. You will get what you pay."
You will get what you pay?????
That's an interesting face book post, but not the one the original person was talking about.
The post he put up flat out said retail price is 109, anyone paying less will not have warranty and any vendor selling for less will never get a P4Y product again. Its over on the IPV 100 watt. I'll find it and add it to this post.
Edit:Can't copy and paste from that thread, but the poster even said him/herself its not up on Facebook at the time he posted it, he says he copied it before P4Y took it down. So theres that.
The gist of it is if you paid less than 109 you won't get service after sale, and vendors charging less will never get another shipment.
I said this over on that thread too, that's totally fine with me, I would rather have elev8 deal with my warranty anyways, and elev8 has said that they will be honoring all warranties for the IPV2 themselves.
