I guy I know ordered a Blackmore Engl from a popular music gear site ( I wont mention the name). He got the box off the fed ex truck and took it to the jam room. Opened it up and pulled out a Engl SE E670! He called his credit card company and check the charge which was $1650 and it was legit. So he got a SE for a Blackmore price. Somebody is getting in trouble for that F'up haha...

SWEEET! but i don't think they'll let something like that slip.

thadood · 04-20-2008, 01:47 PM

I think they just did!

I'd tell him to keep playing and moving of it to a minimal for about two weeks, though. He may get a call about it.

Actually, there's nothing they can do about it. I know a guy that ordered a 6505 a while back and ended up getting TWO of them!

The "right" thing to do would be to return it and get a Blackmore from them but... nahhhhhh...

They can not take it back from him and if he doesn't say anything they will probably not notice till the do an inventory or something.

ether way a SWEET deal. <mudders quietly> son-of-a-bitch

InTheRavensName · 04-20-2008, 01:58 PM

Exactly, and he only authorised a charge of $1650 to his card, so they can't dip in to get the rest

Codyyy · 04-20-2008, 02:08 PM

I wish that was me

Say the name of the store! I want to buy from them

kmanick · 04-20-2008, 02:25 PM

I'd cancel that credit card and run!!
nice score, I hope he gets to keep it at that price.
I love that amp, I wish I had the cash to get one.

What's the price difference between a Blackmore and a SE? I'm thinking they can't reasonably ask him to ship it back to them, if he's the one who brought it to their attention, and it's been a while since I've shipped a head (ok, never

), but shipping a bulky 50-75 pound package isn't cheap - I'd expect $100-150 or so. So, if the Blackmore is only $2-300 shy of a SE, he might be better off just calling them up and explaining the situation, at which point they'll tell him that given the shipping costs, if he's happy with the head it isn't worth fixing, and thanks for letting them know, but just keep it.

Better to do it legit if you can, you know?

Engl Blackmore - $1614 @ house of engl
Engl SE - $3739 @ house of engl

I'm pretty sure they're going to be pissed when they finally figure out what they did!

If they messed up I'm not sure how much they can do about it but when it's a $2K difference in price I'm sure someone is going to at least call him.
