Wondering if the Best Service $20 off code "HNY2021" will work throughout the weekend. It did not expire on 1st Jan, so I believe it should. Any thoughts?

I need a little more time to decide on something...

It worked for me 6 hours ago, at 02.01.2021, 11:42 local time. I couldn't find the discount code on their site anymore, but the code worked for me and I was also allowed to choose from the free products.

I've noticed big drop in prices on bax-shop.co.uk - as well,
Wondering if the customs will have to be paid..Vat is inc (it says) so why pay it again??..
Deepmind 12 is now £529 ( with 10% off code - that makes it 476 nice)
Well....if customs are to be paid then ...not so great but anyway ...big sales are there atmo..

btw. the company send goods from Netherlands to a hub in uk and then to a customer- so maybe the customs will be sorted by them. Unless changes are coming..would have to call them...

I noticed a big drop on many hardware items from UK suppliers too. I paid something like £90 less for a Minitaur and Steinberg interface. I'd been checking prices all year, suddenly they went down.

I'll only buy hardware from UK suppliers now, even if I have to pay apparently a bit more.

Prices do seem to be all over the place atm. Behringer Neutron is £222 on UK Amazon. Model D is £229.

Amazon may be price matching the pre VAT prices?
Deepmind 6 is £359 for example.

Thanks, the code is still working. I will pull the trigger before it's too late. Although I now believe the code should work today and will most likely expire tomorrow.

IK Uno synth is £109 currently, that's quite a drop isn't it? (thought it was previously ~£150..?)

That's really cheap. Never seen it under £400 before.
It's out of stock though, but I'm tempted to order.

Could you let me know what the 10% code is please, struggling to find one on their site? Thanks.

I'm in the UK so I'll be emailing them first to try and confirm the situation before ordering anything though..

..well - should've mentioned - the 10% off was a exclusive Xmas code as I purchased from them quite recently.(gone now as I used it last night)

[ChamomileShark]

Curious. I just looked at PMT.

The Minitaur was usually £529 - I got it for £433, now it's back up to the origianl price.

Steinberg UR-RT2 dropped from £342 to £295, now that's back up.

These weren't sales, I'd been watching the prices all year in prep for my birthday/ Christmas splurge.

A couple of days ago they had a sale which is usually not very big but they had the OP-Z at £315. Out of stock now and back up to £452. Funny thing to put on sale, not b-stock or anything.

Ah, no worries - thanks for getting back to me! Sort of relieved in a way since ordering from them would've felt like a roll of the dice at the moment.

IK has had that and the UNO Drum on sale for a few weeks, it’s not down to anything Brexit related.

Yeah, I'm not rushing out to buy their stuff. Couldn't care less what they discount.

I think the "thumbs up, thumbs down" thing needs a looking at, as in; If it's going to continue to be used the way that it's currently being used, just get rid of it.

Other forums show who gave the thumbs up/thumbs down. The first benefit is there's some personal responsibility for showing your displeasure for something, the second is you can easily show your support or approval of a person or their post.

I'm expecting 16 thumbs downs for writing this.

[Uncle E]

The only annoying thing about those thumbs is the endless useless discussion about them.
Wasn't this supposed to be a bargain discussion?
Now it's pages of brainless tea-leave reading why somebody on the internet may chose to click a visual representation of a hand made of digital pixels on a screen?
Really?

[telecharge]

Happy New Year, Uncle E! I hope you had a nice holiday season. Thank you for the daily dose of drums.
