John Maar Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 1 hour ago, jngnz said: Huh? Is this new? Yes. It's a nice Oberheim companion to their OB-X and DMX VIs. I appreciate the fact the GForce includes standalone versions of their synths. It's nice to be able to bring one up and play it without having to open one of my DAWs or Gig Performer. For curious Europeans, the £49 listed sales price was converted to £40 plus £8 for the 20% French VAT. The real expense was PayPal's exorbitant currency conversion fee. I wound up paying 59,29 €. The nominal exchange rate is about 0.845. PayPal used 0.81! Almost 4%! Grrrrrr. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can adjust the default exchange rate of PayPal to change according to the payment currency, so there will be no additional currency exchange fees. Many years ago, when I first used PayPal to bind a credit card, I forgot to adjust this setting. That setting must be changed! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrie Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 If you have other Oberheim, and you are logged in and add to your cart, you will get a message, "Oberheim Loyalty Discount has been applied to your cart. " and the price (for me was 39.99 pounds, about 52 dollars). It may depend on what other Oberheim ones you own. Not a great "loyalty" discount, but better than nothing ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s still worse with taxes than the regular JRR price. Bit of a shame. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always with them unfortunately... There have been a few exceptions, but in general, their "loyalty" offers are always worse than buying outright elsewhere. Same with Sonible. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the GForce price includes VAT if applicable in your country of residence. Buying from a US retailer you evade the VAT. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may very well be that the £40 price I was offered was a "loyalty" price, since I already owned two of their other Oberheim synths. I didn't see any message to that effect, but whatever. It's now been purchased and installed. It can sound HUGE! Load the Aphex Bells preset. Sweet! Then turn on Unison. Holy schmoly. The opening bell for Ragnarök! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buying from a US retailer you evade the VAT. Not all of them. Those who are compliant with EU rules will recognize that you're connecting from the EU and add the appropriate VAT, even if they are charging in USD and I am paying from the PayPal account associated with my US bank. Some don't (not going to mention any names ?), so I save a bit of money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should say something like "exchange rate options“ and then you select your credit card company instead of Pal and save like 5%. And yes, AFAIK this is only possible with credit cards and not with bank transfers so that might be the reason you’re not seeing it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The opening bell for Ragnarök! Yeah that was the loyalty price John. I bought the bundle prior to DMX so I get the loyalty discount too, but someone that has never bought anything from them before can go to a reseller and get it on sale for pretty much the same price. They almost never let us down with sound though! The OB-X is my least favourite from them so far. I just haven't clicked with that one yet. All the others are really good.

Hurricane Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 I bought it from G-force where it was listed at £39.99 and after the whole exchange rate conversion which was handled through paypal by my bank, my total was $53.43. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
