I’m the sole mod of our (I use the term loosely) synthesizer community. There’s so little engagement, why not just spam it?

I’m waiting for a refund I told myself I’d wait for before buying an Oxi One. I paid for a car repair last year, and it turned out the part was faulty on all those vehicles, so they’re giving me my money back. It wasn’t a cheap repair, either. It will almost cover the cost of an Oxi One entirely. The refund should be here any day, now.

I’ve watched the number of Oxi One’s on their website drop from undefined, to 8 left in stock, to 2 left in stock. Needless to say, it’s a bit of a nail biter. Will my bank’s sloth prevent my purchase and save me a bunch of money I’ll probably just blow on something else? Who can tell? 4 of 3-to-5 business days have passed. I’m literally shaking. Haha!

I don’t actually need the refund. I have the money now, anyway. It’s more fun this way!

    I’m waiting on an Amazon refund. They’re really dragging their feet. The problem is that the packager opened and stole the Nintendo Switch game cart, then shipped me the empty case and shrink wrapping. I have since returned the “remains” and bought another copy from a different seller. But it’s been 3 weeks since then with no updates.

    I am in the wrong place, though. I got nothing to offer a synthesizer community. Here’s a vocoder video though. https://youtu.be/5kc-bhOOLxE?si=DLJ-8wf6Vxz-xA1B

      I’ve had miserable Amazon returns before. I hope you have your refund settings such that they give you the money back and don’t just plop it on a gift card in your account as per their default policy. Scummy.

      That vocoder video is very well-known in the synth community. You have taste. Haha!

      Pretty sure that guy ended up making a mint on it. Sold it for $6k or something.
