Kronos X availability

apex · Post by **apex** » Wed Jul 25, 2012 6:45 pm

I just saw a headline on Guitar Centers website saying Order Now

Kronos X workstation starting at $3199.

If you click the ad it has their yellow "just arrived" advertisement on it. It says scheduled to ship August 8, 2012.

That's like in 2 weeks....

In Germany we will have to pay: 3299 EUR (= 4008 $ ) for the 61 X version:

estimated delivery date: September 7th

I will never understand why Korg is thinking that people in Germany are rich enough to pay such more high prices instead of other countries ...

I doubt it's Korg corporate, it's probably your local Korg importer setting their own profit margins.

I don't know who is accountable for that prices but such prices proper provoke a bad mood. If it's not Korg but our german local Korg importer, Korg should correct him, because it will be Korg which will get an too expensive reputation ... !

Their RRP for the 61 X version = 3926 EUR ( = 4772 $ ) ??

Perhaps that's the reason that a germany guy like me has so much wishes? I will have to pay much money for that machine!

EDIT:
Yes it includes VAT but the price above, too or ?

By the way, doesn't that price include German 19% VAT ??? Without the VAT it's more like US$3241

Sorry, didn't read your edit because I'm writting, too!

Yes it includes VAT but the price in the first post, too, or not ?

Here in the USA we generally do not have to pay Sales Tax (VAT) if we purchase from a dealer in another state and that dealer does not have any operations in our state. The price in the OP is without sales tax.

For them we have to pay much more in Germany, too ...

I spent quite a bit of time in Braunschweig. They have wonderful Weissbier and Spargel in the spring. I always stayed at the Mövenpick Hotel ... wonderful food and ice cream!
