I offered to pay for my FM9 in full up front, just send mine as soon as they hit the loading dock at Fractal Audio! With FA being hamstrung by the pandemic, and/or the supply chain back-up, I figured that Fractal Audio would be suffering some financial hardship with not being able to sell what’s shakin’ out to be a very popular product in the FM9.
$1866.60 to southern Ohio as of today..
Minga, things have gone up eh
Awesome! Thanks for the info! $536 more to go! Lol
$300 plus shipping.
“Back in the day” I had an MII deluxe. What a great shredder that guitar was. 1699 out of 48th street custom in NYC, probably 1990 or so.Awesome! Thanks for the info! $536 more to go! Lol
Anyone want to buy an ESP M-207 7 String!?!?!
They didn't expire (So people are saying. On all the old waitlists I've been on, they did expire". But what do you do when you are a company and unforeseen to you, suddenly a key component you require to make the product becomes unavailable yet you sent invites to purchase said product. You have to break your commitment to supply that product until you have more of the components. Things kind of become a mess from there with invites out there unused and some used and some told "we're out" all you can do is cope as best you can. It is a force majeure and no one can be held responsible.
Sweet! Yeah I bought this ESP back in the 90's also! Probably 1998 or so.
As I've said, at the same time they have to think of those who have yet to get an invite and the difference between the waitlist email is 24 hours from you and another person. One could say you had the opportunity to buy one so why should you get another opportunity when someone who joined the waitlist less than a day later still hasn't had one opportunity?
Did you attempt to buy or inquire about the FM9 back when you received the invite? Maybe Fractal is concerned that people who passed/didn't respond to the initial invites would possibly buy them now to flip since there is profit to be made on the used market? I'm in no way accusing/suggesting that is your intention. Just curious if that's their thought process.
Again, I was speaking/guessing in general terms why a company with Fractal's customer service would draw a hard line in this case. If that's their reasoning, it's unfortunate you got caught out considering your prior relationships with the company.
It’s a tough series of decisions and sometimes the dice roll our way and sometimes we yell CRAP!Agreed. Thinking it through further, I have less sympathy for those that received invited and deliberately delayed making the purchase.
Mainly because I deliberately delayed getting added to the waitlist for a couple of days because I had no pressing need for the FM9. I personally did not immediately join the waitlist because I had no immediate intention of buying it. Months later, I did have compelling reasons to get one, but they were sold out. Now, I will gladly buy one shortly after receiving an invite. This gives me less sympathy for those that immediately joined the waitlist with no intention of immediately buying the FM9.
Not to mention, I seem to recall the FM9 invite did not "technically" expire. However, the invite was "technically" for the FM9 and the FM9 is still out of stock. Now, the FM9 Turbo is being sold.
Okay. My panties were in a bundle. They are now unbundled and I feel better.
And two less Friday and three less Monday until they’re not sending any? Where does the madness end?
AM? PM? Timezone?I’m 8/28 0636...........
I really think if they focused on new invites it wouldn't be too bad. Hopefully we are getting to the end of re-invites
