    Default Musicians Gear A Case price doubles to $100!

    Holy schnikes! When did the Musicians Gear Case double in price? Previously list was $50 and could frequently buy for $40.
    Just went to buy one and it is at $100 with a limited time 20% coupon bringing it to $80 which is double what I was expecting.

    That is an interesting price increase. I don't think they were profitable before, but at $100, they must not want to sell any.

    Do not know but looking at purchasing one....I'm one case short for mando quantity. Depends on your needs...travel and road life, buy the best you can, around home and occasional travel, not so much.

    Hmmm....looks like the one on Ebay. Probably all from the same manufacturer, just labeled different.

    still $40.00 as of 11/16, guess no one wants a $100.00 case . for a little more you can buy a fiberglass case from Elderly.

    It is a good case at $40. $50 is stretching it. $100 is out of the question.

    Got one on sale around the first part of this month for around $30.00. Can imagine 100 dollars being some sort of mistake.

    No, that's a great price you got. I caught a 20% off sale, plus they gave 5% more off for Backstage Pass members, then I had some points to spend on top of that.

    it came yesterday due to weather delays. still the same old good case as before they tried to get a $100.00 bill. now I need a case for my 0 size parlor guitar, I wonder if their classical case would work. I guess I am going to have to take the ruler out.
