I just got off the phone with Musicians Friend and they price matched $149.94 with free shipping so I ordered. They just got a new shipment. They have a great deal on an extended full replacement warranty going on as well for only $12.25 so I jumped on that as well since it was so cheap (2 years full replacement free shipping). Here is how to get the deal: Use Musicians Friend contact form here: mf.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/mf.cfg/php/enduser/ask.php?Ask them if they can price match the deal found here: www.ambientweather.com/dbxa1100.htmlThey'll reply within 48 hours with their answer. They did indeed price match it. They gave me a confirmation number and told me I had to call in order to get that price and present the number. Worked great! Happy shopping!!! Darren |

I just bought a couple of ART-SLA amps from them in a similar fashion. BHPhoto quoted me a price, and those guys matched it, and included free shipping! Everytime I've dealt with Musician's Friend, they've been excellent. I've ordered 8 amps from them. This set of amps they're shipping me will be 6,7, and 8...so far I have sent 1,2,3,4 back to them for one reason or another...no questions (unless there was a problem), no hassles.

I just called them. They wouldn't price match it because they said AmbientWeather isn't an authorized dealer and it is below their cost for the product.

They also told me they wouldn't price match it because AmbientWeather didn't have any in stock. I went the e-mail form route on Thursday, but I haven't got anything back from them. I just tried again, and they aren't going to do it. "This is below our cost, so we can't price match it." I don't understand that since their website says they will have the lowest price around. So I'm just going to order from this place: thestore.bluecraze.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=14035It's $175 shipped, which is a good deal by itself. |

Strange, I wonder if they tightened things down a bit after a couple people did it.
That's a bummer.

Actually I bought mine from: www.gomogear.com/detail.aspx?ID=152857 since BlueCraze said they had 16 in stock and then they e-mailed me saying they didn't have ANY until 3/30. GoMoGear's total came to be $155 with UPS 3 day select shipping  |

Nice! I was going to order from them but hesitated because I don't know anything about that company. Please post your experience with them, they may be a good supplier if MF stops matching their deals. Can't blame MF but you can't pass up a deal like that either.

Well they just e-mailed me and said they don't have any in stock (even though their website said they had 6), and they don't plan to get any. So I'm trying YET ANOTHER company; this time it was $177 shipped from www.avdeals.com/djequipment/XA1100.htmHopefully they have them in stock.  |

Isn't it wonderful when e-commerce sites aren't representing live data/inventory? It is a very easy step to syncronize this data but few seem to do it. |

AVDeals didn't have any in stock, either. They aren't getting any until the 27th!!  So no amp for me until next month.  |

Now it's supposed to ship the 24th... it appears Nady ain't shipping out their product all that well.

Now it's supposed to ship the 24th... it appears Nady ain't shipping out their product all that well. BlueCraze's price just went up to $311  Hopefully AVDeals will keep the same price since I haven't cancelled my order with them!! |

For anyone still interested, I found a place online to get the XA-1100 for $145 delivered -- shopping.redorbit.com/product.php?productid=7458251It's on back order til next week (so they say), but best price I found.. Muscian's Friend never responded to my attempt at price matching. JCD |

Yeah, they appear to be on back order everywhere... I've been waiting for a while now for my order at Musicians Friend to ship.

Perhaps all this price matching for the customer means they are all trying to lower their wholesale price from Nady based on sales? Nady won't reduce their wholesale price further so nobody has any stock to sell at giveaway prices.
It seems to me that ordering on the strength of an untrue online stock figure and then finding that dealer really has no stock after confirming your order leaves them open to accusations of doubtful trading practices.
Don't you have a contract with the dealer to supply the goods as ordered from the stock level shown online and confirmed by them in accepting your order?
This reminds me of selling more airline tickets than there are seats on a plane in the hope that somebody will drop out. (not lterally of course! ;D)

Finally cancelled my order. The great price only goes so far. Nady wasn't delivering amps in a timely fashion so I switched to the Behringer EP1500 at twice the price but it was in stock.
