Frankfurt Fair (Musik Messe Fankfurt)

Dave, for the Total Studio Bundle owners who want all 3 the new instruments there'll be a special price? I can't wait to try it all them (Studiophonik it's the one that I want to try so badly). Thanks very much for the news Dave. You're always the best

Anyway, yes, I am in Germany.

And back to the first question of this thread. Do you have a baby sitter at your booth, then I can bring along my 5 year old son.
Or I'll drop him with one of these barely- dressed promo girls. He's cute, so they might like it.

Uhh, tele...
Maybe you should let the kid wander off with Dave and leave YOU with the promo girls, no?

-B

Dave would surely have his fun. My son is top notch funny and entertaining.

Thanks. There will be simply the crossgrade discount on each of them. Nothing more complicated than that really. No plans at the moment for any other bundles with them included so it looks like they'll be ala carte additions to your set up whether it is the TSB or ANY IK product since the "crossgrade for all" allows any IK user of any product to get the discount which is great for everybody.

In this case you must have gotten up quite early, at least one of the days you were posting before 6am local time.
Being in Germany, maybe you should consult your co-eaters to go out for Schnitzel instead of Sushi?

No babysitters at the booth, sorry. No barely dressed women either... sorry again! But there may be some around the hall.

I should have had a Schnitzel instead but... oh well. It's meetings with distributors and companies so it ends up being whatever it is... this year we didn't go to the place that serves you meat on a hot stone though... that was a fun place. Sort of Knights of the Round Table-esque.

It wasn't early that I was posting it was late... Squids sometimes party all night long. We went to some technically lame bar that we go to every year in the middle of nowhere called "Spectrum" ... hmmm, ironic come to think of it! Haha. But, I really drank in moderation and I think I am good on that now after having a semi-recent regretful night of alcohol poisoning... I drink just a bit and then go for a Red Bull... so I come home a little wired maybe and the perfect cure for that is KVR.

"crossgrade for all" is indeed cool, totally agree.
On the other hand, as a Total Studio Bundle owner, it would be nice to have a "special priced pack" for these loyal folks who want to buy all three of the new goodies.
Maybe an Esoundz only sale
Hey, we got to eat too and you folks releasing all these nice "toys" to play with doesn't help in that department.

Have fun in Frankfurt !
Can't make it this time unfortunately

If anyone bought the Total Studio Bundle at www.esoundz.com then chances are it bumped them to Gold or Platinum status which gives them even bigger discounts. So, getting the crossgrade discount and that discount I think is quite good! Not sure if we can do any better than that.

[NorthSouth]

Hm, guess you missed the a bit.
Partly just teasing too, but have to say, didn't know that whilst discounted as crossgrade a Plat status would also give another extra on an already crossgrade price.

Anyway, time to open up a Europe shop too Dave, keeping the prices you do, you could probably sell loads over here too i think.
Very little " great offers" to be found in Europe and i won't tell you anything new when i say that compared to the US we pay a lot more for our stuff most of the time.
Opportunity knocks maybe ?

Hey, it can be tiring running to the customs office all the time
Would be cool to have a nice online store like that which ships within europe itself.

[Squids]

esoundz sells all over the world and actually Europeans get an amazing deal because of the Euro vs. the dollar. We have a lot of European customers... maybe half of our customer base even or close.

The free internatinal shipping probably helps... also the Global Priority US mail doesn't always charge VAT on small packages. But, we're not supposed to discuss that stuff on the forum anyway because some stores get annoyed that you can buy for less from the states sometimes.

The best is to just buy from who you like and get a good enough deal from. Local shop or on line...

Perfectly agree, I'm italian and the prices are more expensive than the normal. I've saved more than 210€ (yes EURO)buying at esoundz.com, so I'll keep on buying there, and I can't wait to check all the new stuff announced by Dave.

Yes, very true and i thought you probably would, hence the Europe store remark.
Keep in mind that although the Euro/USD advantage sometimes (very often) Euro stores really are outrages with their sale prices. ( i know it's "sometimes" not only up to the store itself)
Anyway, i know for sure that's been discussed many a time before at KVR, so let's leave it at that.
Although it would be fun/good to see a Euro store like yours here to stir things up a little bit on this continent.
Europeans are getting "milked" big time now a days.
Rant over.

The free international shipping probably helps... also the Global Priority US mail doesn't always charge VAT on small packages.

"Free international shipping" must be new then, i always paid $15 per shipping, which is perfectly OK with me as your one of the few US stores with 'very reasonable' Europe shipping prices.
Regarding VAT, that's not up to USPS, it either gets scooped up or not at a countries own customs office.
If it's nice and light you can get lucky sometimes, ever so true, but a package like e.g total studio bundle, forget about it.
Ah, you win some you lose some, no big deal.

But, we're not supposed to discuss that stuff on the forum anyway because some stores get annoyed that you can buy for less from the states sometimes.

Hmm, very strange i think and not at the same time.
I would have a very strong opinion on that one but won't bore you with the details, for all the right reasons of course, it would only get out of control most possibly and i wouldn't want that.
Getting warned about my Esoundz referral sig told me enough, which i found a bit ridiculous btw, but so be it.
I'll march my opinions else were,(e.g. like Kevin G did, man i love this guys work btw ) with much more effect, no need to stir up a audio forum, got bigger fish to fry.

I do, and for some products it's your store i use.
If the variety of brands would be bigger, i would even shop more at your store as well.
Always great service, you should give Jorge a raise !

I wasn't trying to be cheap here if that was maybe understood.
I have my reasons of course looking for a 'nice price' as every one else would, also all for the right reasons, need cash to fry the fish, no greed involved what so ever.

Anyway, looking very much forward to the new stuff, sounds great !!
