Conde Hermanos EF - 5

What could be the reason for such a big price drop on this guitar?

http://www.benelly.nl/Scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=150835

They advertise with:
List Price: €2.635,00
Price: €1.499,00
Price (ex. VAT.): €1.259,66
Save: €1.136,00 (43%)

never tried out this guitar, but i know a guy on ebay who is trying to sell the EF5 since almost 2 or more than 2 years with no success

but forget list prices and such comments from Conde.
you always can buy Condes much cheaper than list prices of Conde, and also note that many people are searching for used older Condes and not new ones, and mostly the high end models (and not these student models)

That's a real pitty for that guy.

I am not looking for a conde but this is almost half the price so I was just wandering what could be the untold part of it.

Still on other websites it is sold for the original price.

i guess most people, choose Hnos Sanchiz Lopez for this price range, instead of paying $1000 more for nearly a same guitar.
same with EF4.

so that could make these guitars dead woods in the guitar stores, and now they are lowering the prices to be able to sell them.

i watch ebay quite often, and never saw an EF4 or EF5 been sold for a high asking price.
i think i saw one which was auctioned and sold below 1000.

also all the discussions about bad and good condes, hurt the reputation and people want to try out the Condes before buying them online and unseen.

its a bit different with the older ones, like A26 from 90s, etc....

however, who knows, maybe this is a great guitar.... but would be too risky for me to order, without playing it....

just my 2 cents
