I'm not sure its even a "sale", that actually seems to be the new price for the unit, which just a few months ago was $10,000.
Shit happens, as they say - but when I invest in a piece of high end gear, I want it to reasonably hold its value - thats a good reason to buy a quality unit. This will never happen with the likes of Manley, or Fearn for example.
I personally would be pretty upset, and I totally sympathize with Trem here
not that i would ever have wanted to buy a fairchild...
of course i can understand his disappointment, but a manufacturer does not owe him a guarantee that prices for their equipment will remain the same on end!
did you ever see such a clause in a contract? - imo it's totally unrealistic to assume/speculate that gear holds its (resale) value for long.
