Quoted from AFM95:

Misery loves company... and for those who don't think JJP didn't screw it up, here's my frustrating, personal example.
I gave a large deposit for a CE, trusting the distributor had a game for me. I told two other distros to take me off their non-deposit list as a courtesy.
Meanwhile, JJP still had CE's ready to purchase directly through their site after I was locked in with my distro.
Now I find out I was cut out because my distro (all of them actually), had their allotment slashed (no pun intended).
While I'm not mad at my distributor, I could have went ahead and bought it directly from JJP if I would have known it was "iffy" at best to go through a distributor.
I'm a loyal, multi-purchaser, JJP customer.
I'm a big supporter, and have nothing but good things to say about them. I'm not sure how to feel about JJP now.

Quoted from LTG:

This didn't start with G&R. Been going on more than a year. They wanted the distributors to be the same on pricing. No more free shipping. No doubling warranties. Etc.
LTG : )

Quoted from cooked71:

The biggest lesson to be learnt here: don’t make the top end super limited version too different than the next model down. Just make it limited with some minor cosmetic changes and a couple of relevant signatures.
That’s definitely one Stern have mastered. Elvira: Piece of couch +$5000. B66SLE: Foil artwork $5000. Beatles Platinum: literally just the colour +$10000.

Quoted from cooked71:

JJP GNR CE $3000-$7000 cheaper.

Quoted from rai:

I’m about to order one LE vs SE.
Only debate is how fun / important is the upper PF?
