Quick question... (JS30RR price)

[Pointy]

Hey i just noticed that the JS30RR goes for 355 euro on thomann.de (one of the most popular and cheapest online stores in europe). Two and a half years ago the price was 249 euro... that's a 40% increase - around $150 for the convenience of US residents . Isn't that a bit too much? In comparison the RR3 price is about the same as it was in 2007. Any ideas why that might be?

Why not ask Thomann ?

Those crazy Chinese must asking higher wages as well

(Though I think we can safely assume that even there it will probably go to the top of the pyramid instead of the chumps below)

add increased fuelcosts, maybe higher taxes in country of origin, blah, blah

Er, as far as I know JS are still being "Crafted" in India, NOT China.

No need, i got one in 2007

I am just curious, the huge increase on one particular entry level model (series) seems a bit weird. AFAIK there aren't any spec changes since then either.

My experiences with Thomann are those of extremely good, simply flawless service, with high fucking prices. I'd say the price hasn't gone up elsewhere. Maybe they just noticed and increasing/decreasing trend and decided to maximise profits? My guess.
