WTF? Preorder price jumps $300 in US? - The Unofficial Access Virus & Virus TI Forum

mcoyote · #1 23.11.2004, 05:19 AM

I pre-orderd my desktop TI unit a few days ago for approx. $1600. As of, what -- yesterday? -- the prices at places like sweetwater, samedaymusic, etc. have all jumped to $1900 (more or less). What do you supposed happend, and why did they all jump at once?

(...I hope the vendor honors my preorder price...)

if you placed a deposit and agreed upon a price then they must honour their quote. (or never do business with them again!)

im sure if you contact these suppliers the units will still be avail at the original price - they are just trying to sucker a little bit more money out of us (because they can).

also - if they display a high price it makes them look like good guys when they drop a couple of hundred off (when really the discount takes the price back to the orig quote!)

First off, welcome to the forum!

I agree with Blay. If you pre-ordered at a price and they suddenly decide to up the price that isn't not good business at all.

Not sure what happened with the price jumps though. Maybe they have had more interest than they anticipated.

i wonder just how many access have made of each model for initial release?

I reckon Access are pretty switched on, and would have prepared sufficiently for all of the interest.....

Heck, there has been alot of hype and conspiracies (Mainly originating from HC) going on about a new Access for some time now.....They know they got us practically willing to sell our own mothers for this synth
