Why are there so few hardware deals that we have to dig up dumb used gear posts and talk about them? And those Egg monitors? I thought the economy was sh*t? Where are the deals?
Inflation plus chip sortages. It costs more to build existing models, and the pace of innovation has slowed so there aren’t deep discounts on older models. Even the used market is weird these days. Lots of stuff for sale which isn’t moving, because most people don’t want to lower their prices, because new stuff is more expensive now…
Andertons had the Blue Marvin in stock for £422 when I was on their site a couple of days ago. I’m guessing that’s the new price? (Although they’re showing it as a sale price). That’s a really good deal imo. I’m sorely tempted to pick up a Grey Meanie although they’re a little more expensive still
Don’t think so. I was looking at one last year and it was around that price then.
These new prices don’t seem to be for the UK, or they’ve not been updated yet. For example;
Must just be the sale price at the mo then. The BM has been sub £500 for a while but not as low as £422. Cheapest I’ve seen the GM in a UK store is £467 (also a sale price at Gear4Music)
I got a BM when they first landed and I love it to bits. Deffo interested in another! But the GM looks really nice too. Not a fan of the look of the Christmas tree one, each to their own
