I want to see if anyone can figure this scenario out;
For years,SamAsh.com has been selling thier Kurzweil K2661 for $2,195.00(USD).
Sweetwater.com,along with every other retailer,sells it for $800.00 more at the price of $2,995.00.
I let my Sweetwater sales engineer know of this,because I wanted to stay loyal to them and I had hoped they could match the price.
My salesperson tells me to stand by while he looks into the matter.A couple of days later,he calls me & tells me that SamAsh's price was a mistake,because it's not possible to under-sell the competition by that drastic of a margin.
The very same day(today),I take a look at the SamAsh website and thier price is NOW 3 grand as everybody else sells it for,when it was $800 less only a few days ago.
I am aware of course,that pricing errors of retailers is not an uncommon occurence,but like I had said,SamAsh has been selling it for $800.00 less for an awfully long time and how could such an error go unchecked for so long??
However though,even if SamAsh's price was an error,if I had bought the Kurzweil from them when the previous price was still there,I could have simply printed out the online price and have brought it in to a SamAsh store and they would have to honor it,because it was thier mistake.
Now it seems,because I opened up my mouth to Sweetwater about it,I have to take an $800 hit on the keyboard and by the time I have the money saved up for this board,the only place I'll be able to find this Kurzweil is on eBay.
I seriously need a heavy dose of hard liquor right now
