So What Ever Happened with Those Ritters?

A while back, as some of you may remember, BassClubChicago accidentally sold a large number of the "New for 2009" Ritter Royas (which retail for $8,000) for $0.00, including shipping. A number of us "bought" them, and I, in fact, even have the printed receipt and one saved to my e-mail.

So, I'm curious. What's going on with this? I know that the chances of a free Ritter are slim to none, but we ought to get something. They mismarked their prices; we were under the impression that we were getting free trial concepts, and now we haven't heard a word from them since our purchases?

Any input guys?

Hello??? Anyone??? I don't mean to be pushy and bump this, but it is something I'm very curious about and I'd been looking forward to some feedback from my fellow TBers before I have to hit the hay for the night (doc app. in the morning)...

This isn't the kind of topic that will spawn a post within its first 23 minutes of existence. Patience is a virtue...

And although I wasn't around for the incident that you're talking about, there's no way ANY vendor is giving away a Ritter for $0. Period.

Hopefully you are just asking this for fun. :D

FYI, most shops that have a sales page online, put up pics of a new bass that's on it's way, or stock pics from the manufacturer before it gets actually released and just put the price a $0.00 Because they either don't have the bass yet, or don't have the actual/current pricing available.

Guys, did any of you actually read all of my post? I said that I know they aren't going to ship me a Ritter for free; to believe that is to be mentally impaired.

I said that I was just curious as to what happened with the rest of the guys who ordered one. I just wanted to know if anyone ever got an e-mail or if anything was ever said about it again by the company itself.

I mean, sure, I'd have loved it if they accidentally shipped them anyway, but I NEVER expected them to. I'm just going to try to get a free hat out of this! :) (JK)

If you have a receipt and they have not sent you the Ritter, you may actually have a case. Light a little fire under them and demand your money back.:eyebrow:


Maybe they feel that emailing, calling, or sending hats to everybody isn't worth the time (and thus money) it would take since it's a ridiculous situation to begin with.
