Check prices elsewhere.

Some of those B stock prices are rather high before the 10% reduction.  Like this one:

https://www.gak.co.uk/en/fender-american-special-telecaster-lake-placid-blue-rosewood/915402

That's listed at £869, which is suspiciously high for a B stock when Andertons have it at £856:

With the 10% it's about what you would expect for a B Stock, but you aren't making any massive savings through this promotion.  It's just a marketing gimmick.

It is putting me right of buying from GAK in the future though.

Right enough on that one. But there looked some good deals elsewhere on there, not least the 345...

GAK are one of the most expensive on B-stock and secondhand items. Some of them ridiculous

Sorry for wasting everybody's time.

We're on a messageboard about Guitars in the middle of a working day. We're here to waste time

Agreed @johnl but you put a post like this up and you get people trawling through the page to point out examples of ones that aren't bargains.

Now that's what I call wasting time.

I didn't start out looking for examples of ones that aren't bargains.  I started out looking for bargains and I couldn't find any.

To be fair I'm glad you did. I've always had decent prices from GAK on new stuff and just assumed their 2nd hand stuff would be decently priced as well....

Is this just the two minute argument? I thought you paid for the five minute one.
