A friend of mine was on the fence about the op-1 but he hurried and ordered one from Bax shop because the price is still Eu 789 there.
@virtual_flannel I really want a Prophet-6 so hoping those prices don't get too insane. I did order an Olegtron 4600 yesterday but those prices are still the same...
I wonder if the higher retail prices will hit the US? Huge bummer if so, as I just can’t justify buying one again. I’ve had a hell of a time saving up to buy one new at $849. I’d buy used but I’m super sketchy about doing so with the bad luck I’ve had in the past with used and out of warranty models.
I was looking at the justmusic.de website, and their prices just went from 786 eur to 900 for a OP-1. Yay. Just when I was thinking of finally getting one.
So glad I bought my (used) OP1 the same day the prices went higher, if this deal would have failed I would have ordered a new and expensive one (+350€)…
You would think the prices would be going down lol. I had previously suspected it was because production was so flooded with PO’s that they had to think of some way to deter people from ordering the OP-1 for a while, I guess that’s not the case.
i was in the store last night, logging on from america and prices were back to normal- $59 for po, $849 for op.
that’s the cost without VAT. Euro cost is €949, VAT included, which works out to a bit more than the £ cost before they upped prices. Wow, the Euro has really gone downhill
