If they stick with their traditional release cycle, it should be late 2020.
End of June. Time&Space lists the end date July 1st.

Not sure if buyer protection can account for stupidity. If you see Dune 3 for such a low price, it should ring all bells. Just like a $100 Rolex.
And, if noone reports the seller, i doubt the system could automatically ban him/her based on the sale. After all, it's your decision whether you want to sell Dune 3 for $100, or $5.99. That's generally an issue on eBay. People don't question when someone offers Windows 10 for $9.99. They just buy it, and are happy about their "deal of the century".
I hardly use eBay anymore. It's a hoard for scammers, and people who mistake it for a bazaar. It used to be a very nice place, but, now it's sh** for the most part of it.

To be fair, they've given free point updates for kontakt 5 for, how long? 7 years?cprompt wrote: ↑Tue Jun 11, 2019 7:11 pmYeah... I was kind of tempted by the kontakt 6 upgrade... As a developer of Kontakt instruments I was hoping for more, much more. And as a user I was hoping for something better too. At best, I would say this is a point release for Kontakt 5 not a whole new version that requires money to upgrade. Quite disappointing if I'm honest.
I think they deserve some update fee once in a while.

They sometimes send out coupons and JRR has a shop there. It is one of the few possibilities to get additional discounts on certain "sale-resistant" plugins.

I mostly buy used books, craft stuff and costume jewelry there. Never had a problem, but I also don't expect it to be the best stuff. I guess it depends on what you are looking for and how much you want to pay.chk071 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 12, 2019 12:04 amNot sure if buyer protection can account for stupidity.

I saw some guy selling Ableton Suite 10 for $50 on eBay. Not eligible for future upgrades and digital download only. But when you check the seller feedback, it's some guy from Russia selling cracked software from music to office.

Yep, yet i see so many write in forums that they got a Windows 10 key for 10 €, or a Office Pro Plus key (which is the most expensive version of MS Office...) for a tenner. Yeah, right.
TBH, i think they all deserve to get their developer keys, or keys bought with stolen credit card data banned by Microsoft. The reality is that many get away with it, though (well, usually not with keys bought with stolen credit card data...). Microsoft can also not ban every single illicit Windows 7 copy in China or India.

+1, I wouldn`t unhook the bay as well.
Not a place for private bargains anymore
but to get some good deals across established local music shops.
Bay coupons via mail at times,
special sales only at bay out of competition or to get new customers, B-stock etc.
Not bad, hw in particular.
Let`s not forget cowbells, the bay is always good for a cowbell.
