Spitfire is having a Black Friday sale and a couple of libraries I would like are about 15% off. I’m not at all familiar with their sales cycles. Will they have another sale before the end of the year that will discount things further? I have a project coming up over the Christmas holidays and if I can get these for more (20-30%) off then I can wait. If they won’t ever go below ~15% then I might jut grab the deal now.
Thanks

Which libraries? If it's a newer release likelihood is it won't be cheaper at Christmas. Generally though it is worth putting anything you want into the Wish List and seeing what goodies Santa brings (often 40% off).
As an aside I can say the I got BBC SO Discovery for free, then my BF price to upgrade to Core was only £190, which is pretty amazing for what you get.

Thanks for the replies.
I am wanting the SSO Chamber edition. I also am liking the Albions collection as I can imagine many uses for that range of sounds. Neither is particularly new but both are out of my normal budget. However, the scoring duo bundle looks like it fits what I need for the upcoming project and is ~30% off now.
So what’s with the wishlist thing? Do I need to put things in my wishlist and then at Christmas I, personally, may get a special promotion (as opposed to a general sale)?

You can put everything in the Wish List if you want, or just the things you're most likely to go for and then wait to see what Spitfire deal there is. It's usually something like 40% for most things, everyone will get the same offer.
However, depending on previous purchases you may get a personal deal price on a bundle. So you may own two of the libraries that feature in a three-way bundle, so the cost of the bundle may work out cheaper than buying the third library separately, even at sale price. Always log in to see your dynamic price.
By SSO Chamber do you mean SSO or Spitfire Chamber Strings (SCS)? If it's the latter I can highly recommend it. It's the owners' favourite library even today. If I had to start buying sample libraries from scratch this would be my first (and actually was as it happens just by luck).
You can get away with the regular edition. I got the Pro as an add on later as it was going cheap, but it does not add any articulations to the regular version, just extra mics and the very useful stereo mixes.

Awesome. I just put what I want in my wishlist so we’ll see what happens come Christmas.
I mean SSO Chamber Edition:

It is just like SSO but Symphony Strings is replaced with Chamber Strings. I love the detail of CS and I think, for what I do, if I needed some oomph of a full string section, Albion One (or even the Epic Strings Originals) would flesh it out behind the CS.
Thank you tons for the info!

Was a bit confused there, and just realised it's a bundle with Chamber Strings, thought it was a chamber edition of the SSO strings 
Now I'm looking at the "complete my bundle" price - I only just upgraded BBC SO to Core ffs! 
I like Chamber Strings coupled with Solo Strings - no bundle for that that I can see though. I think I got Chamber Strings for £360 back in the day then a later upgrade to Pro (extra mics and mixes) for £99, so a bit of a bargain for my first ever Spitfire purchase.

All depends on what you want....the collections are the way to go to save real money....
I bought The Ton collection for £70 and got Eric Whitaker Choir for £251 55% off this Black Friday...doing this also got me the Aperture Orchestra for free...
In the last sale over summer I got the Justin Hurwitz Professional Selects for £798 that’s £266 each for Symphonic Strings, Symphonic Woodwinds and Symphonic Brass....this £798 also included Harp and Masse....
Spitfire sales can be unpredictable...The Apex sale earlier in the year offered Studio Strings for 50% off...
Christmas is not far off so maybe wait to see what they offer...
