why is ibanez so cheap in audiophile?

[jupe123]

i dunno if it applies to the guitars as well but i was looking at the amps they sold and holy cow the ibanez tsa30 combo is so much cheaper here than in the US!! here it's P17k and in the US, the street price is $600  and the list is $800!!

Are you sure that what you saw was a combo and not a head? or that it was a tsa30 not a tsa15?

i asked on their FB page how much the combo costs. and this is the answer i got:
"Sir For TSA30 - 17+++ .. Less 8% for Cash.. For TSA15 Combo - 15+++.. Less 5%.. For TSA15 Head Amp Only - 11+++..Less 5 %.. tnx"

i also have the same question why is it so cheap. i went to trinoma couple of days ago..and tried their tsa30 combo. 17,699 or 17,799 ang price..basta di abot ng 18k. 

dahil ba diretso galing china ung items?

If it really came direct from china, the freight charges are much cheaper since we are near to the port of exportation. And also take note that the freight charges are also included in the computation of duties and taxes. (Cost + insurance + freight) x exchange rate x rate of duty. = Total customs duty.

They have the best pricing for guitars. Great job to them. I love Ibanez.

Dear Audiophile,

Wag kayong magpaniwala sa pinagsasabi nila, hindi kayo mura magtinda ng ibanez.

<psssst guys, pag narinig ng audiophile na mura yung mga ibanez sa kanila baka magtaas sila bigla>

Not just Ibanez. Their prices are from cheap to reasonable vs SRP + tax from other countries. Great store.
Good example is this one = http://www.musiciansfriend.com/accessories/korg-pitchblack-chromatic-pedal-tuner/210087000000000

Price of that from online stores + tax more expensive than P2988 here in audiophile.

Another http://www.musiciansfriend.com/accessories/dimarzio-dp707-liquifire-7-string--neck-pickup
Price of that + tax is more expensive than P3500 in audiophile

Parang yung danggit sa Cebu yan... noong mga unang panahon sobra mura.  nagpuntahan ang mga taga maynilang susyal at palaging sinasabi ang mura!!!  ayan tuloy saksakan na tuloy ng mahal ngayon...

Better cheap than expensive!

Ooops! Lemme' rephrase that.....

Better cheap than overpriced!

[ijoejit]

Hindi sila cheap, fair priced lang. Pwede nyo i-check yung pricelist nila then compare nyo sa pricelist ng mga stores from US. Baka mas mataas lang ang markup sa US compared dito sa AudioPhile ph.

[kimhags]

ibanez guitars are not cheap in cagayan de oro, trust me. tha RG350DX is priced at 25k, Gio GRG270 is at 16k and the list goes on.

Wow then good for us. Baka direct importation from China so mas konti ang dagdag sa pricing

I knew it was a really good store 

[jupe123]
