Re: Boomerang Power Supply Not Included in Price

[Mike <mnelson@boomerangmusic.com>]

        Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I just sent the 
following email to our rep that handles Amazon:

        "Amazon is selling the III without a power supply. The product is 
indivisible and comprises a III, power 
supply & manual. Negative chatter is occurring on some forums regarding 
"our" gouging practices. Please have 
them stop this.
        They are either splitting the product up or attempting to sell 2 
power supplies to each customer. Either way 
it's a deceptive trade practice."
