    Fred,

    Many thanks for the clarification.  I would be interested in a used SI-5 - just can't justify the cost of a new SI-8 vs. rental.  Would it be possible to update the text on the page linked from the home page announcement to include the status?  I'll keep a lookout for a change if the SI-5 becomes available.

    I also want to take this opportunity to thank all the folks who make DVOA work - from the officers to the meet contributors.  I'm not out as often as I'd like but I always have a good time getting out in the woods again (even for the 2 controls I made at Star Village before I decided my body wasn't ready to take on the course).

    Thanks to all,
    Rich

    Title: SI-5

    Hi All,

    The E-Punch page includes a note:
        "A limited number of older SI-5 ecards that have been in our rental pool for a few years will also be for sale. These ecards sell for $15, including a new elastic band."

    At Star Village today, it seemed that all of the punches have been sold (all that was left were the bands).  I don't know if there are multiple event kits and one might have an SI-5 remaining that I could get.  Does anyone know if there are any SI-5s left?

    Thanks,
    Rich

    I don't know who can "officially" answer your question, but I can at least clarify the situation for you and others interested in the used SI-5s.

    This past winter we ordered some new ecards(SI-8s)--mostly for sale as new, but also with the thought of upgrading our rental pool to the newer version.  Depending on how many total ecards we wanted to carry as rentals, that probably would have left some of the older SI-5s available for sale at a reduced price.

    There were some last-minute objections to the club subsidizing this cost, so this plan was put on hold until we had a better idea of our rental needs and the demand for ecards (for sale either new or used).

    There is a bag of bands in each epunch kit, but they are currently being matched with the new SI-8s that are sold.  There hasn't been a bag of used SI-5s for sale--i.e., they are not "sold out", but rather have not gone for sale (yet?).
