Gratulerar till den nya Audi. Jag väntar på min. Tryggve Sweden

I think the americans are a bit angry,they will be the last one to have the Audya,(together with Afghanistan) he he.

but you guys got the Beta version

and we get the "almost" FINAL version ;-)

Diki...

We all know you have made your conclusions about Audya. The smilies do not lighten that fact.

What the H***!!

Now it's time for somebody from Ketron or the dealers to come into the sceene and explain
why it's as big difference in prices.
Denmark, Sweden and Norway are neighbours in Scandinavia, so why the big gap in price??
1 DKr = 1,173 NKr, so that is NKr 38.709,- , so the gap to the BIG OFFER price here is still
way to high (NKr.50.450 / Full price is 59.450)

Looks like I need a lot more education to understand this policy......

Cheers

I'll try to explain it to you Gunnar Jonny.

The Nordic countries have "high" per capita income rates. You guys up there in the frozen North are rich by the world's standard. In fact, Denmark has the 7th highest per capita income in the world. Norway has the 3rd highest per capita income. Switzerland has the 6th highest. Sweden has the 9th highest. The Netherlands have the 10th highest. Finland is number 11. Etc., etc..

Since you guys are considered "wealthy" by the world's standard i.e. (vs. median-average of the world) then Manufacturer's can therefore "shaft" you at will, since you guys can afford to be shafted I guess. If you guys can afford more (larger, bigger, more expensive) stuff, Ketron, or any other of the keyboard manufacturer's (or any other company for that matter) simply want their 'cut' of your surplus too. So that's why you guys pay more up there in the frigid North. You make more, so charging you more has comparatively the same overall effect as other Countries who do NOT have as high of per capita income as you guys up there have - like the good ol' U. S. of A. for instance. That's why the Audya will cost LESS in the U.S. Has a nice ring to it don't you think?

All the best,
Mike

PS: Oh, by the way... The U.S.A. is listed at number "15" for per capita income. So we're not too far below you guys. Maybe Ketron just likes the U.S. more, eh? Maybe it just costs Ketron more to ship the Audya "by way of Reindeer" up to you and they're just trying to recover those exorbitant shipping costs perhaps?

BTW, while I may have drawn my own conclusions before playing the Audya, I am by no means alone. Plenty of people here with opinions for AND against the Audya just from reviews, demos and general reading...

Of course, you don't hear the Ketron fanboys belittle the 'pro' faction that are in a no better position than me to judge...

You are not against uninformed opinion, no matter how hard you try to self-delude... You are simply against those who's opinion you don't agree with

And Mike... Mike, Mike, Mike....

Don't you know how dangerous it is to tell Americans that they are not #1 across the board?

Hehe, nice, but if your theory is right, there still should not be the big gap between what the
Danish and the Norwegians have to pay for the Audya.
Yeah, the shipping costs are probably the reason. Ketron do ship every single item separately
from Italy to Norway by Taxi, cabdrivers have to get some income too you know.
Now I start understand the arithmetic who make the difference.

GJ

I also think they forgot to provide the cab drivers with GPS', they are probably taking the route across China and back to Scandinavia.

doesn't the Audya have a higher CO2 emission than other keyboards? That could be the reason due to the current governments enviromental taxes...
