Hi, Just curious what the community thinks about this. It's misleading is it not?
It's 31% off a false List Price of $399 for $274.50. As a long-time user, contributor and supporter since the original Squeezebox seeing things like this is upsetting. This community was built on good faith. Slim Devices / Squeezebox is one of the great stories of successful products from word of mouth fueled by the internet. The last thing a consumer needs is to be misled. These products are easily tackled by power users but general consumers might have to spend some time to get things configured right. I guess I've seen it once too many times walking into a Magnolia AV store to see a sales rep talk a customer out of Squeezebox into Sonos. Clearly they are not familiar with the product and would rather sell the more expensive Sonos. Doesn't help when they blatantly lie, either purposely or out of ignorance, that Squeezebox can't do things that it can. To me, it's kind of like Apple selling in retail computer chain stores all over again with sales reps pushing PC. Finally Apple took matters into their own retail stores... and very successfully. This is no need for the many misconceptions and misinformation fostered by sales reps that are not properly trained or care not to sell what I feel is a superior product (Squeezebox). I'm not sure what training Logitech has given the sales channel, but personally I'd like to see Slim Devices win every sale over Sonos. Been a while since I've seen anyone comment on the Logitech acquisition. So just curious... Is there anything the community here can do to help combat these issues or am I the only one that recognizes these challenges? +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: amazonsb3a.jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3892| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- darwinl ------------------------------------------------------------------------ darwinl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2603 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41227 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
