is it true?

[ala_carte]

are the items sold at luther overpriced?

 

[ShredCow]

Are you speaking in general or with a few specific items in mind?

I got a Shure Beta 56 mic from them for like 1/2 retail price.

Support your statement with an evidence please...

 

[gsonique]

wow!! shred you will be getting heavy discount from them !!

 

[ala_carte]

u read my post wrongly.

i simply want to know whether items sold (in general) at luther are overpriced.

 

[KissMyAxe]

Ya but something must have made you come out with that question right

 

[atee]

Overpriced?

Luther's always given me the impression that they do it for the music, not to make money. You should see the amount of advice you can get when you're purchasing even something small like a pedal.

I'd pay for their service, even if overpriced(though I don't think they are)

 

[ala_carte]

basic observation? comparing prices between the line 6 pedals luther carries and from city music? thing is, if u know my meaning, u'd know wad to type..

 

[ShredCow]

wow!! shred you will be getting heavy discount from them !!

hehehe... One must know when to post!!!! And quick!!! I hope someone from luther sees this... :lol:


Anyway, ala_carte, Luther has never struck me as being overpriced. Perhaps for the line6 products, but really, by how much?

 

[ala_carte]

line 6 uber metal at luther? 169.

line 6 uber metal at city music? 150 WITH adaptor!

overpriced?

 

[ShredCow]

Okay, so, Line6 products are slightly overpriced @ Luthers.

 

[gsonique]

...169
- 150
________
>> 19 :?

 

[guitarnub]

i noticed their ernie ball strings are priced higher compared to the other neighbouring shops

 

[ala_carte]

nope it's 19 plus another 30 for the price of a brand new adaptor.

tt's the around half the price of a decent boss pedal!

shredcow, when did u get tt mic for half price? condition now?

 

[ShredCow]

Well, Line6 adaptor... you can buy the VisualSound clip adaptor instead and hook it up to your 1Spot or other 9v adaptor no?

Hehehe... Its BRAND new. Luther was clearing stock of the Shure Beta 56 mics. I had to snag 1.

 

[ala_carte]

hmmm i wonder whether luther would say tt to those buying the pedal from him and discount the price off the pedal price.....

i'm sure u know the older tonecore series of pedals produce nasty hum(s) with the 1SPOT...so this can be an issue.

nice!

Wait till you buy something at Swee Lee, you will know the true meaning of overprice :lol:

 

[ala_carte]

tt's swee lee's prob, dunno how many ppl say tt their goods are damn ex already they still dun want have a policy change....


if u ask me they're really abusing their possesion of the dealership, wont be surprised if the boss has a mindset which goes: "i have the best(relax, it's juz an example!) in sg so if u dun want to buy then go someplace else while i see how much i can jack the prices of tt anniversary fender or tt new wizard neck prestige guitar *rubs hands together for effect*..."

are items from swee lee exceptionally good anyway?

True, I totally agree

 

[ala_carte]

then the next thing tt should be on our minds (although i know i'm sidetracking) is why hasn't anyone done something abt it? as in *physically*?
