Edu Prado Insane Hot Summer Deals. Instruments for only €9.99!

I sent them a message about it, too, but just for those reading the thread:  I don't think their site is correctly setup...even the "free" stuff lists prices, and I don't see any prices that come out to €9.99 in USD on things.

For instance, clicking the sale timer at the top of their pages takes me to a page that shows

and the "free stuff" page

FWIW, they replied that the sale price is only on selected items (which their title bar doesn't say; it implies that they're all on sale with "INSANE HOT SUMMER DEALS! (deal timer) SOUNDS FOR €9.99").   But the page displayed when clicking *on the sale ad bar*  doesn't show those items, it shows everything, making it even less clear.

From another part of their reply, the "free" items are apparently free if you want them to be, after you jump thru the hoops of following specific instructions on each item's page and adding a code it shows there to the cart, etc.  

Even if they're a good deal, I'd pass on the whole company if they're going to be that confusing with a simple sale--I can't imagine how bad support or even the actual programs would be. :(

 

If a buyer has to ask how to get the sale and what's on sale, that's a pretty complete failure of website design and sale implementation.

For those following: their new reply said that maybe their shopify system hasn't updated yet because the ad should go to the sale items, if anyone wants to verify if it gets updated and post here. 

 

 Personally, I think that  these sorts of things ought to be worked out before "release" of the public-facing site, or at the very least someone at the companies doing them ought to verify they're working as designed. ;)  But it seems to be common at many companies for this to not be the case.  :(

Yes, I think their website has been updated. Now clicking the sale ad banner redirects you to this page https://sounds.eduprado.com/collections/summer-sale-2025

Agree, and don't know why they let this happen. I mean, making sure the site runs as expected before noticing the customers shouldn't be too hard, no?

Regarding the products, I have Edu Prado's Extended Electric Guitar which I bought from a AudioPlugin.Deals' sale (this one is not on sale in Edu Prado's current summer sale, though). It is an interesting rare e-guitar articulations library, and the quality is actually pretty good. I am thinking about buying their Extended Guitar Bundle in this sale, as the demos sound cool and the sale price is quite attractive. But do notice that not all of their libraries are Kontakt Player libs, for example Extended Guitar Bundle requires full Kontakt.

web development falls under development which all seems to have in common is regression.

I found out how many free items are given out because the web people deleted your account and free is the only way to get that account back
