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?

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.

I've seem older K's for even less, but then I hustled

Do I get a free copy of RX elements if i solve the riddle?

Almost free! Is $29 with an extra discount in cart close enough?

No RX Elements in the JRR sale specials -category. And if you put iZotope RX Elements to the JRR site "search", you get many pages hits.
Interesting structure in the JRR site, not to mention how the search works.

Soo... buying Iris 2 and crossgrading to MPB2 is apparently 50$ cheaper than buying MPB2 outright. How does that make any sense?

Yes, I removed it because the sale was ending that day. I didn't want to accidentally leave it there and have customers be angry about the sale being over.

It's the worst. Type "rxelements" (all 1 word) and it'll come right up. Or type jrrshop.com/izotope and it should come right up. All magic tricks that no customer could ever possibly know. It's the worst.

Anyway, did you manage to get it? I think we have 1 license left over.

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.

That is world of wheeling and dealing.

Look over at the second hand record sales world, a user gets invited to a Boards of Canda launch, gets a free promo, and goes on Discogs the next day and puts it up for sale for £1000 (or something like that)

Or RX Elements + Crossgrade for over $200 cheaper than buying MPB2 outright. I'm guessing this is the reason iZotope ran all the $29 sales in the first place.

If a site's own search isn't working, try using site search at Google with the "site" keyword:

[Search term] site:[jrrshop.com or wherever]

You could try the same at DuckDuckGo if you don't like dealing with Google, but it also has difficulty finding the right page much of the time.

Nothing wrong with using Google. However, I think its dealer's own advantage to make buying easy, if the search is a mess, it aint.

Finally abbey road reverb is on sale for $29. Thoughts?

Absolutely steal - from your side, if you buy it.
I've got several reverbs, best in the market, but I'm still facinated how versatile and manually tweakable the WARR is.

I picked it up, $22.90 from some resellers.
Platinum for $136 seems pretty damn good too, wondering if I can get an appropriately scaled ($40?) upgrade from Gold...

[Nobdi]

It's one thing to know that your search function is BS but a different thing to have the resources/time/money/nerves to change your otherwise working system. ... btw: IMHO the first thing to address in the JRR site would be overall site speed

I don't tink so unfortunately.
I tried that earlier in on the sale though everyplugin (who then ask for a discounted quote from Waves) to upgrade to the Tapes, Tubes & Transistors bundle.

The quote I got was much higher than buying the missing plugins separately from a reseller.

[evilantal]

Buying the Abbey Road Bundle, for instance, now is also cheaper than having picked up the separate plugins as they came on sale for $29 each.
