Buying on Amazon

Has anyone bought any of the following [at the following prices], and recieved it with NO damages, price issues, items missing?
This is Amazon.COM, not .CA. Also, does anyone know if you can buy from .com and ship to Canada? (I prob know the answer but I just wanna make sure before I decide on something awesome)
-Sonar X2 Essentials, for $87.04, with a crossed out $139)
-Komplete Studio 6 (w. Traktor, Cubase, Komplete, and $30 voucher) for $229, with a crossed out $249. 


I just kinda don't trust it...:P I know it's pretty stupid but it's my first studio and if ANYTHING goes wrong parents will never buy anything for it again.
(ps, Sonar is boxed, right?)

    you really have to watch amazon

    first if someone is selling something below (especially well below) what the normal price is buyer beware they are not legit dealers.

    1)with all things audio there is whats called MAP  "minimum advertised price"
    legit dealers have to stick by this or you lose your dealership.
    if someone is lower than chances are they are not legit.

    2) the other issue with Amazon is they charge the resellers 15% of the total price leaving very little room to discount anyway. so if you see a price thats well below others dont believe it legit  (unless its actually amazon selling it since they get to undercut the resellers they are not charging themselves 15% obviously)

    3) considering the 15% charge  you are better off contacting a dealer directly for best price and avoid amazon all together.. trust me we would much rather discount you than let amazon have the $

    and FYI $229 is the correct price for the Komplete audio 6, there is no money in selling NI so thats about what you would pay in fact on amazon the guy is losing money after shipping..

    On the Native Instruments website it says the Komplet Audio 6 is $249...but I could've sworn I saw it as $229 yesterday...do they have 2 (can/US) sites?

    the manufacturers websites almost ALWAYS show a higher $ than what dealers sell for.. $229 is the correct price
