Elecraft's Deposit Policy

[Edward A. Dauer]

 Some years ago I was speaking with a colleague who I thought of then as rather advanced in age.  I asked him about his plans for his next post-retirement project, to which he replied, "Sonny, at my age I don't even buy green bananas."

I am now approaching what he was then, hence a question about Elecraft's deposit policy.  If I put a few $K down on a K4 to get into an early shipment group, is my position transferable?  That is, when my shipment date comes and if circumstances have changed, could I sell my slot to someone else and have Elecraft honor that transfer?  Has anyone done this in the past?  Did it work?

Ted, KN1CBR

Why wouldn't the position in the queue go with the money? Elecraft could simply use their "gift" procedure to transfer ownership.

Hello Ted,

Your position in the queue is NOT transferable.
In the event of someone changing their mind or if someone is deceased, the
deposit is refunded in full and the person "behind" them in the queue
slides up one slot.

Regards,

Madelyn Gomez
