Eden WP100 Navigator for $199?
- Thread starter wespaul
- Start date
Been a long time Eden customer & promoter but its over now... send all your production to China and sell for the same price as the MIA versions.
Sorry Eden, you've turned shady & I'm done with you.
MIM Fender jazz for the same as a MIA? Sure their are part differences but theres also a price difference.
Eden was bought for profits without customer service, your distributors can't even get the price right or know the country of origin.
There are many other companies like Genz Benz who do it better, built in the USA with more customer service. ADIOS!

I just got the cancellation email as well, and I ordered over the phone.
Is anyone going to try and contact them to get it reinstated or is that a lost cause?

You guys cannot be angry at anyone for not getting this for $199. Simple price mistake, happens all the time, they rarely if ever result in fulfilled orders. But doesn't mean you shouldn't try next time.
One of mine was canceled, the other has not yet....interesting. I can only assume they will get around to it. Oh well.
My guess is that if we were not trying to get a bunch of $30 GC discounts that required manager approval, we may have slipped through the cracks...but who knows. Next time, we just place the orders and and be quiet (just don't forget to let TBers know!).
Rock on as you were...

Once in a while they make a mistake, and as long as they don't get swamped with orders they will usually honor the first few the make it through before they correct it.
They did for me on a midi controller I bought. If you're the first one in, and want to buy it, it's best not to mention it to anybody until you get the ship notice.

$799 for a Chinese made Navigator should make you angry, or a non-buyer at the least

I mean seriously....blow the lid off the entire thing over 30 bux.....pisses me off actually. Next time just order and don't call in and ask for managers trying to be greedy on an already sweet deal.
Look at the back of all the Navigators now (Except on the Eden site, they want you to still believe you are buying USA)
Check EBAY & you'll see made in china
Actually Ive been done with Eden for a long time for a few reasons-and I was an endorser.But at $199 I figured what the heck,Ill bite.Im not mad at Eden for this misprint thing,mine was canceled too.But Im back to done with them.
I agree,but I believe this was going to be caught anyway because of the number sold.music123 quit selling them at $199 almost 2 days before MF did.
The thing that irks me is when I called to place my order,my sales guy knew already it was a misprint(or so he said,and said the dogs at MF knew about it).Took my order anyway.So why continue to sell them at that price for another 2 days?I realize it takes time to go through all the corporate BS,but I dont understand the concept of selling something you know you will not be selling.
