$99 Akai Headrush

[karmablock]

Mine went through but it has been a huge hassle. They charged me 4x and now I have a $400 hold on my card and on top of that they refused to ship it and I had to drive an hour to pick it up.

Call the 800 number,their support is generally good.

A recent site screwup where a Roland GR-55 guitar synth with pickup was listed as available at like 300 stores and online had them build me a package with a standalone GR-55 and GK-3 for the same price as the package, plus the coupon.

Apparently none were in stock anywhere (like MF and the other dealers had listed, thanks bad production and tsunami), but they made good on it at a substantial loss.

Fuck you! waste an hour of my works time screwing me around!

Sorry to bump an old thread, but FYI Guitar Center has these back in stock. Also, with the "roundout" coupon code it's 79.99. I couldn't get the online site to work, but I called and ordered on the phone.

Mine shipped this morning.

If they can do it by phone, I'm back in, then. (They did give me a credit for the online order they took but couldn't process, so sweeter still.)

[Gone Fission]

They were ready to do the phone order, but for $199. The $99 price is supposed to be in-store only.

They hate me. They really hate me.

I bought mine new for $100 a few years back. I caught MF on a post X-Mas special at $150 plus I had a $50 off next purchase coupon or something like that. I remember is $100, free shipping. Yep :-)

There is one in the BST thread for 105 I think! Maybe worth a shot.

[Gone Fission]

I think I got something to work that maybe shouldn't have for $79.99. I'll share once it ships. Fingers crossed.

I can't get it to let me buy it online

That's the deal I got, but I guess I just got lucky over the phone...

[Noise...]

Ehhhhh.

Why does Guitar Center have to suck so much?

Like others, I got the "cannot be sourced" bullshit. Time to see who price matches.

[Gone Fission]

There are some GC stores that are supposed to have them in stock. If you aren't near by, you may be able to get someone at a store to ship one to you. (Weekday mornings are probably the best time to try.) If my current attempt doesn't fly, that's my next move.

[Gone Fission]

Got my shipping notice, so I'll spill. M123 did the price match with the coupon code. Normally they won't match coupons, but they probably agreed to do so because they thought they were matching the normal $199 online price at their fellow Bain Capital subsidiary -- higher than a lot of online prices. They kept the coupon discount on when they actually matched.

Music123 is famously inconsistent on doing the same match for different customers. If an online match won't fly, you can try your luck on the phone.
