Huge Price Hike without any announcement

Hi,

The official website just saw a huge price hike, and this without any warning / announcement, what happened ??

The Kobra X, that was at 269 euros, is now 339 euros ! 70 euros more one day to the other !

EDIT / UPDATE:

To avoid misunderstanding, I would like to detail a bit my initial post content.

I discovered the Kobra X with the following page, I read about 1 week ago :

https://www.reddit.com/r/AnycubicOfficial/comments/1psu7lg/kobra_x_early_bird_price_is_official_279/

I saw it was an ealy price, but :
-no end date on the post
-no future price announced
-no mention of any "percentage off" from any price

I was expecting that if some change to it would arrive, it would be mentioned on the thread / post ...

I was also expecting maybe it would increase "some day" of about 10/20 bucks ...

Not an increase of 70 buck from one day to the other ...

And from what I can see on the site, it is not just the Kobra X that had a huge hike up ... but all printers on the site.

So I decided to create a post to understand exactly how Anycubic manages its communication as well as its marketing strategy ... because ... to say the least ... its a bit ... questionable ^^' ... when you post a release announcement (on reddit or elsewhere) people just follow the activity on that thread expecting news about it on it ! (you know ... the main goal / purpose of a thread ...)

EDIT2:

Oh ... I will really be interrested on all the updated reviews of all the influencers / youtubers that reviewed the Kobra X for 279$ ... and gave there honest reviews regarding that price ... now that the printer is in a totally new price category :D I will really listen to there returns, and would advice any to do the same !
