Yeah, that seems to be what is implied. Thanks for digging that up for me I guess when I'm ready to get the Production Bundle I'll have to message support to see how you get the crossgrade...maybe I'm just misunderstanding it.

Message support. I was able to successfully crossgrade from the Elements bundle to the Music Production Suite 2(and I was able to do this from buying the crossgrade at JRRshop)

When was the last time NI Komplete went on sale? I'm trying to get reaktor right now.

K11 updates were on sale throughout June 2017.

Search the marketplace... I have seen Reaktor 6 for sale here recently and at a good price... make sure you are looking at the full Reaktor not an update. The updates come up for sale more often than the full Reaktor but there is at least one current Reaktor 6 seller active now.

Yeah he goes by Andrey Marchenko and literally bought it for 80 bucks from someone on here from this thread (viewtopic.php?f=43&t=488283&p=6837855&h ... 6#p6837855) and is trying to make a profit of it by selling it for 130 a week later. I offered him 100 for it (20 dollar profit for him) and he says it's a marketplace and that anybody would buy it at 100. A hustle is a hustle, but I'm not buying from him at that price. Too opportunistic for my tastes

When there's not a sale, what's the cheapest path to get to Komplete 11 ? I'm thinking getting an old version used an getting an upate is one way. Another could be the crossgrade path from komplete?

You might not like that, but there's nothing wrong with it. If you know that he bought it to resell then I'm not sure what the point is in getting upset that he won't be lowballed. Sorry mate, that's not a hustle in any sense of the word. He recognized an opportunity and took advantage of it.

Honestly, I don't like you calling out people by name just because you don't like how they're engaging in the marketplace. It's not illegal or even improper to buy and resell. Get over it.

[TLW]

^ Like I said, a hustle is a hustle.

I didn't say he was doing anything illegal. You're probably misunderstanding. In the US we say "side-hustle" not necessarily in the Webster dictionary sense of the word. His hustle is buying plugins for cheap, inflating the price, and trying to resell to other KVR members. I can choose not to participate in that transaction just as much as he can. I also have every right to post about my encounter here don't I?

None of it is a secret, it's on public record. I'm just making it easier for everybody else to make their own decisions.

If what he's doing is legit and doesn't leave a bad taste in anybody's mouth why would you care if I post it on here? It should have no consequence right?

On the other hand, If people might not want to participate in such activities don't I have a duty to post about it to inform fellow KVR members?

Relax and have some chill.

You're right, I misread your use of the word.

Yes, but, I believe that you did two things that go beyond the pale for me.

1) You call him out by name, that's not necessary unless that's his username

2) You give us the details of your counter offer implying that it has some validity, it doesn't. He's absolutely right, $100 is a no-brainer upgrade price and if someone is running a "side-hustle" it makes much more sense to wait for the customer who is less price sensitive than you are.

None of it is a secret, it's on public record. I'm just making it easier for everybody else to make their own decisions.

No, you're passively aggressively calling him out. Other people can decide for themselves whether or not $130 is too much to pay for Reaktor. What he paid for it is of no moment.

[TLW]

> What he paid for it is of no moment.

Well I'll respectfully disagree

[systmu]

Lol for once I agree with ghettosynth yeah what he paid is of no consequence this is like basic capitalism buy low sell high. It's not even a hustle. It's literally what every single collector or those who make their living off of buying and selling things does. More the power to him. Sounds like someone is sore because they feel "entitled."

Besides he's still selling it for $70 off MSRP. Sounds like a good deal to me!

Are of these rigid audio kontakt libraries worth it? I gotta keep a close eye on my money. Not to mention l3 multimaximzer for $22 ok everyplugin. Wow This is a no brainer right?

PS that oracle reverb is horrible. I'll never get that time back.

[TLW]

> Sounds like someone is sore because they feel "entitled."

I dunno if that's really the case. Like I said, I don't think he's doing anything illegal or against the rules. You guys are just asking me to be quiet about it and I say nah to that. It's a forum. If it's truly of no consequence just ignore me

You tell 'em, TLW, you tell 'em

The update is $200, the full version is $600.

Older komplete price varies greatly here. I saw one for as low as $275, AFAIR.

I personally wouldn't buy Komplete without sale, but I think older komplete+update is cheaper than komplete select/kontakt+crossgrade or full version.
