Re: [elektron] Elektron MonoMachine : For Sale

2003-09-16 by hal3001

is there some legality that can state that since it is not a full 
monomachine(which is define with a full 1.0 os), that they can't 
deifne it as the certain price of 1900?  becasue it really isn't a 
full monomachine.  it's a very very very wrong thing for them to 
do.  And i hope they cancel this person's order.  The only ebay 
monomachine i expected was from somone who didn't really enjoy it, 
and wished to not have to spend money ot hsip back to sweden.  Very 
disrespectful.  :-/  IO hope elektron finds a way to cancel the 
order.  As i really think hte first 100 beta buyers are that, beta 
buyers, the monomachine's not out till december.  only the beta is, 
which is for testing, creating patches(maybe translated into 
presets), and demo mp3s.   I sincerely hope they take action, if 
they don't, i'm prepared to create a boycott against this particular 
person, and to advertise on as many forums to not buy this 
monomachine, as well as to not buy any other piece of gear sold by 
this person.  definatley an unethical maneuver by this person, which 
might cost him his very sales.  comprimising consumer trust is 
someting that is very bad to do.  and this type of marketing is very 
wrong.  and can seriously damage your business.  Since i believe 
many elektron users are very powerful in user groups which this 
synth is in demand for (lets face it the biggest buyers of early 
monomachines are peopole who are reallly into it), i feel that this 
compromises his entire company's  well being on the market.  which 
also will incur many problems on his name if he wishes to stay in 
this industry.  if people wish to take it to that level of finding 
it that disrepectful, which I do.  Not to mantion elektron also said 
they will release 30 more units in october, due to the demand...so 
his advertisement also lies...false advertisement is a big deal, 
which u can be sued for...:)  well anyways cheers m8s:)  i'm very 
upset at this assholes way to try and rip off elektron.  I hope no 
other dealer simply buys elektorn products under the friends guise 
simply to make extra money.  and to take advantage of elektrons 
amall busines nature, without the best of lawyers gaureunteeing them 
protection of this.  almost like how hte RIAA is attacking 
people ....
