The only time I know of us changing the price on the regular site is with the new Softube Drawmer S73, on which someone accidentally turned off extra discounts. In that case, we gave gift vouchers to all the early buyers to cover the difference.
Our Blowout Site is a little different. Our regular site with the "Group" coupon is often times a better deal, the Blowout Site is usually only a better on special occasions.
We see many comments in this thread concerning that.
Of course, being that we live in the same state means that you very rarely have the best deal for me when it's a physical product, but I fault our 'local' politics and not you for that. Like I said, it's just these last few months that my particular purchases have been cheaper @ AudioDeluxe. On at least two of those occasions though, you would have at least matched it if your 'forum/Group Buy' codes had been working that day. My only real sour with you was from the auction, which I personally found to be 'less than charitable'. But I'm over that and business is business.
I just don't find the titles of demon and saint that others are trying to inflict here as anything necessary except that when one is being declared, the other needs to be equally expressed as a matter of balance.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend either JRRshop or AudioDeluxe as a great source to shop with.
For me, the bottom line as a customer is to go with the better deal. Which means sometimes it's JRR, other times it's AD and sometimes I actually get a deal that blows both of you off the map from a location in between or across the pond from us all.
