HornetAircraft Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 this is to say that unless you have the CRJ 550-700 that is a big "DONT BUY ME". once you log in and it shows you own the original you get the 20.00 pricetag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UPHILL3 Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 I'd say anything under ten thousand $$$ for a new CRJ is quite a bargain... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Founder Nels_Anderson Posted November 12, 2021 Founder Share Posted November 12, 2021 This product is meant to be only available to those who have already previously purchased the CRJ 550/700. If that is not you, then you see a high price that would prevent any sane person from purchasing (though I see one apparently insane person has already tried to buy it at the $9999.99 price...). If you qualify due to making the required previous purchase, you will see the actual price of $19.99. Ideally, I would make the product not even show for those not qualified to purchase it, but I'm limited by what the store software can do. You could also have learned exactly the same thing I just told you, had you scrolled down a bit and read the product description. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinfolsom Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 (edited) That was me. I tried to buy it at it's ridiculous price to see what happens. Unfortunately my credit card was $50 short of being able to purchase it. And no, I am not insane. Just a person testing the insanity of things so crazy as this. Maybe YOU should correct these insane things YOU claim to have no control over!!! What would happen if my credit card was accepted? You would charge me??? This is absolutely ridiculous and your explanation is even more ridiculous and pathetic. I don't care if you run this web sight! Someone has to call you out on your BS!!!

Guest Robert455 Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 You’re more adventurous than me to try to complete a purchase for $10k as a test. Had that gone through, you might have found yourself in a pickle if it was a non-refundable software purchase. You would likely be able to dispute it with the CC company, but all that trouble and phone calls to straighten it out would be a pain. High prices are also sometimes used as placeholders. It’s basically a flag to say not ready for sale or not for you which it seems to be in this case. Trying to prove a $10,000 point seems a bit impulsive to me but whatever floats your boat.

jrdale210 Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Hi Kevin--little humour is good once in a while and even the insanity idea was a joke--but on the other hand of your credit card had permitted you to go ahead and purchase for that price you could not blame anyone but yourself for making the purchase. It is not any kind of a scam it says the price. You may not be "insane" but perhaps a little foolish to go ahead with trying to purchase such a thing. But there is a Stradivarius Viola on the market at 45 Million dollars if you are still interested in rare purchases!! All in good humour--yours respectfully JohnThat was me.

kevinfolsom Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 (edited) Thanks for the correction. That's all you have to say, Mark. No concern for a false advertisement? It is going to be reported to the BBB for false advertising. This kind of BS needs to stop. FALSE ADVERTISING!!! BAIT AND SWITCH!!! I don't care who he thinks he IS!!! This kind of BS needs to stop.

Founder Nels_Anderson Posted November 14, 2021 Founder Share Posted November 14, 2021 Kevin, don't you think you're carrying all this a bit overboard? I've already explained to you why the product is listed the way it is, and the product description itself also explains. No one else seems to have an issue with this, why is this such a big problem for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loki Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 You do know the store is run by different people, right? As of 2018 the store is very much under direct control of Flightsim.com. https://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/content.php?18770-Announcing-Store-FlightSim-Com Still don't see why some people are so worked up about this price.

kevinfolsom Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Apparently, I am the only person in this forum who is upset by the advertising tactics going on in this web site. Please be honest and at least advertise this product correctly!!! Advertise it as an upgrade to the CRJ to the CRJ 500\700 Aircraft at $19.99 instead of $99,999. This is what gives online stores a bad name!!!

tiger1962 Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Apparently, I am the only person in this forum who is upset by the advertising tactics going on in this web site. That's because the rest of us have read the product description: Description Notice: This is not a complete aircraft package. It is an extension to the Aerosoft Aircraft CRJ 550/700 for MSFS which must be purchased and installed before this package. If you have not previously bought the 550/700 then consider getting the CRJ Bundle 550/700/900/1000. The correct price will only show on this page if you previously purchased the CRJ 550/700 from this store. Tim Wright "The older I get, the better I was..."

Please be honest and at least advertise this product correctly!!! You might be. The “advertising tactic†was to just set the price high if you don’t have the other purchase. Not really advertising in my book but whatever. Much better to discourage purchases of products that require prerequisites than to let you complete the sale on a product that is incomplete. First, it’s just a computer game/simulator - hardly worth popping a vein over. Second, you saw something with a way too high price that you didn’t understand but now you know why. Most would stop there but now you want to go to the BBB? As Nels pointed out, the explanation is in the product description and he wasn’t able to just hide the plane based on purchase history. Sounds like he at least tried. This world is way too crazy right now. Does this really need to be way overblown? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
