Bargain Center: discussion, gossip, etc.

[wfm]

Hi folks, thanks for reading!

Topic 1:
I'm curious where to find BestService.com coupons? I saw the GIMME20 promo code but I snoozed on it and it expired after the weekend.  Is it a newsletter or website to follow?

Also, does BestService have any small 'standing promo codes' like JRR or Waves?

Topic 2: Korg
Thanks to Uncle E on the Nano2 series M1 Le included tip a while back.

So I found Korg Legacy Collection (No ARP) for $70. I could then get the ARP for $39.

Demoing the Triton, it's sounds great to me, but not $199 great...

If I proceed, does anyone think Korg will do one of their $50 upgrade sales down the road? Or maybe $99 because it's The Triton?

Topic 2, Question 2:  Do the Korg iOS apps ever go on sale?

Thanks in advance to any tipsters.

Total Studio Spectacular prices are supposed to be the following for these:

Total Studio 2 MAX $/€999.99 $/€249.99
Total Studio 2 MAX (boxed) $/€1029.99 $/€259.99
Total Studio 2 MAX Crossgrade $/€699.99 $/€179.99
Total Studio 2 MAX Crossgrade (boxed) $/€729.99 $/€189.99
Total Studio 2 MAX MAXgrade $/€499.99 $/€139.99
Total Studio 2 MAX MAXgrade (boxed) $/€529.99 $/€149.99
Total Studio 2 MAX Upgrade $/€249.99 $/€74.99
Total Studio 2 MAX Upgrade (boxed) $/€279.99 $/€84.99

Plus tax where applicable and required by law.

Just curious, what is the difference between MAXgrade and Crossgrade? I qualified for MAXgrade per my IKM account. I do own multiple products over $99 regular price, but technically not Total Max.

Eventide just released a new distortion plugin on sale for $39.

Eventide CrushStation...

Despite the gossip, no physical iLok dongle required for Eventide products.

Was eying with ik crossgrade for 139,but 179 sorry, not for me. These actions are very unfriendly switching prices while a promo is running.

Genuine questions, have Ik switched or was there just confusion surrounding reseller pricing?

It looks like they switched, anyway, it's my impression and it's not a good one.

The prices at the IK store, and in IK literature, have been the following from the start of the promotion:

179 for the crossgrade (from products worth 99+)

139 for the MAXgrade (from products with a MAX designation)

Evidently there was an error in the price list sent to dealers, which stated incorrectly that the crossgrade was 149. This has now been corrected.

The JRR in-cart price with code GROUP has therefore gone up from $126 to $151.

This is bound to be frustrating and a deal-breaker for many. But strictly speaking IK has not changed the price mid-promotion. The debate, if there is one, would be whether IK ought to have honoured the erroneous dealer price going forward. Presumably this would have required them to drop the crossgrade price at their own store, however, inviting complaint from people who had already bought it at 179. And I think IK could rightly claim that 179 is already bargain basement pricing. But it is certainly a tricky situation.

(None of the above takes Jampoints into consideration.)

So if there was an error in the price list they sent it is (obviously) their vault so they should own it....

All jokes aside it kind of sucks for me because it's 30 dollars extra which I shouldn't spend already and I was waiting for a payment in my PayPal before buying. This makes it definitely a harder sell

[WatchTheGuitar]

Quite like the look of Sample Logic Guitar Fury - lots of odd guitar sounds to round out my collection - and they have extended the intro price for a few more days which is after I get paid thankfully. It seems Audio Plugin Deals has a $50 gift certificate I can buy for $30 with rewards cash which should mean I can get Guitar Fury for $99 all in if it works.

Anyone know would this work or would I fall foul of the "certificates may not be used with other promos" rider? Don't want to be stuck with a cert I can't use.

If you can’t afford it, don’t buy it.
There’s more important things in life.
Peace!
