As an example; I was looking on Modulargrid for Intellijel's Multigrain. The set price is approx. €432. However, in stores the actual price is around €539, which is a huge difference. Why are these prices set so low in Modulargrid?


Hi,
because some manufacturers don't update the price. Some do it.


Also, some manufacturers enter the price including VAT, some without (especially those from Northern America). Add a typical european VAT of around 20% to Multigrain and you're in the ballpark of current retail prices.


That, I personally find weird. I understand your point, but whenever I visit a musicstore online it shows prices including VAT. Perhaps they should limit it to mention a retail price including VAT on modulargrid.


AFAIK stores in the US don't include VAT since it varies by state so manufacturers' recommended retail prices tend to not include it. It is different in (most of) the EU.


Don't forget that we also have 'user generated content' on here, any user can submit a module.

Enjoy your spare HP, don't rush to fill every last space, this is not like filling sticker books. Resist the urge to 'complete' your rack, its never complete so just relax.

Seeing that you can switch between € and $, and in US no VAT it seems more logical to me now, though I realised that the stores on the right of the screen are either UK or EU added to my confusion on this point. It would be more consistent to set prices without VAT, and actually mention that next to the price. At least the mystery is solved for me now. Thanks for all your replies, I appreciate it.
