binky_bass Posted July 21, 2019 Posted July 21, 2019 Afternoon gents and gentettes, During the course of my daily internet stumblings where I am always on the hunt for bass related deals, I came across this... The usual RRP for one of these is around £600 and having owned one of these before, they are actually very fine acoustic basses. In fact I rate Crafter as one of the most underrated acoustic brands out there, but that's a different story... I've just pulled the trigger on one as at the absolute worst, I know I can sell it on eBay for a good £100 more, and as it's being sold by Amazon (not a 3rd party Amazon user) if there are any issues, I'm relatively safe! So, for anyone after an acoustic bass, £146 for a brand new one of these is absolutely nuts! Not sure why they're being sold for 70% off, but I'm not arguing! Fill yer boots! Quote
edstraker123 Posted July 21, 2019 Posted July 21, 2019 £518 now Must have only been one left. Congratulations on finding a great deal ! Quote
binky_bass Posted July 21, 2019 Author Posted July 21, 2019 Must of been a one-off... Shame. Honestly, I don't need this bass, but couldn't resist at £146! Quote
Cat Burrito Posted July 21, 2019 Posted July 21, 2019 Amazon occasionally do this. I picked up a £100+ box set of CDs for £6 a few years ago and they do tend to honour things. The Geddy Lee book at £20 was another stroke of luck I had with them. Quote
RichardH Posted July 22, 2019 Posted July 22, 2019 The Camelcamelcamel website is very handy for seeing Amazon price history. Here it is for that Crafter https://uk.camelcamelcamel.com/Crafter-BA-400EQ-N-BA400EQ-Electro/product/B0053GSHEW ...so you can see that the £146 price was very much a big drop - though they have done it briefly before. I use it to double check whether something really is at a very low price, or whether it is the prevailing price. You can also tell 3C to alert you when a price drops below a certain point - having had my original Geddy book order cancelled at £15 earlier in the year when stocks dried up, I set an alert so knew when it came back out and down to £20.

binky_bass Posted July 22, 2019 Author Posted July 22, 2019 Interesting stuff... It's curious as to the logic behind such drops, I can't imagine it prompting mass purchases given it's such a comparatively niche product. Maybe they simply had one left that hadn't sold and tanked the price to get it gone... if so, it worked! Quote
