Hi, everyone.

This week, I discovered that the price of a brand new Genos has been raised by a whopping $500.00! Of course, I'm talking about prices in Canada. I was seriously considering buying one, but this just irks me so much! It was already a very high $6,000.00, and now, it $6,500.00! Plus, 15% sales tax!

I'll wait and see if the price is going to come down. Can anyone from Canada, and especially from the Quebec area (city of Montreal or Laval) recommend a store with good prices? Thank you very much!

I'd suggest getting a used one.

I'm thinking about it. Thanks.

What a strange time for a price hike, don't you think? Good idea to buy used, especially when Genos 2 hits the market but I guess that's not happening any time soon....

It's the worldwide situation and value of the money and stock marked that's make great differences.
Here in Norway the NOK has dropped so much compared to US$, € and £ that prices for imported stuff here is sky high over what it's been for many years. 😱

The Genos was demonstrated by Martin Harris on April 5th, 2016. That's 4 years ago. I wonder if the Genos replacement will come out this year or next? Anyone have an idea?

You're right. Many businesses lost money during this Covid-19 period, and I guess that they need to catch up. Hope prices come back down soon.

I have no idea, but I would assume that there maybe a slow down of new keyboards and other technology coming out due to lost productivity time and this horrible economic and health crisis that we are all in.

It shouldn't be up to the customer to make up for that loss. The other keyboard brands didn't raise their prices. Plus adding another $500 would scare off potential buyers. They'd sell more keyboards by lowering their prices.
