Consolidated Black Friday Thread

DrBob

Both Northwest Guitars and Guitarbuild have emailed me with Black Friday deals.
Which for an inveterate bitsa builder like me is dangerous

I’m looking for a Boss MD-500, hoping to get one for below the £290 mark if possible.

Let me know if you spot one!

Thanks

Tony

@Gassage is selling one

I just pulled the trigger on a satin S2 Vela from GAK.  I regret not getting my hands on a regular Vela when they were doing them at £799 so at £895 for a limited satin it had to be worth a punt.  Had my eyes on them for a while.  @grungebob have you seen these?  I know you're in the market for one.

If you can get them to retroactively pricematch they're £852 here: http://www.peachguitars.com/search.php?q=vela&search-submit=

Just noticed that.  Missive sent!

Gear4Music deals just went live but they seem pretty weak as well. Unless your looking for a high end Gretsch.

Anybody seen anything on a Katana? I know it's unlikely to see a discount on something that sells so well but I'm hoping for the best.

I'm looking too, I'd like a 50w as backup. Let me know if you see anything!

There you go, who needs Black Friday?!

I can't imagine any of the retailers discounting Katanas; they must be one of their highest and most consistent sellers over the past 18 months, and are great value at RRP anyway!

You just need the art of negotiation my friends - its a feeding frenzy for sales today and everyone is on a high to hit their targets. I just got a Boss Katana 50 down to £170. Pitch two leading suppliers off each other, then when they couldn't go any lower on the price, I got them to throw in a pack of Roto 11's to tip it their way!! Get in there lads....the bargains are to be had if you're bold enough to push!

EDIT: I should probably put an ethical clause in here given the state of retail at the moment, but business is business (and I really wanted a Katana!!!)

Do you go into McDonalds with Burger King on the phone to negotiate a discount on a Quarter Pounder?

Nope - they're two different products...

That’s the way to do it!

Piss poor 'sales'

All I've bagged so far is a half price Bosch drill on Amazon

I agree. I've seen better general sales throughout the year.

They have 244 pedals for sale on their website of which 193 are out of stock.  They would benefit from some kind of only show products that are in stock feature.
