2010 Holiday specials thread

AlanRatcliffe

We have reached the time of year when special offers abound once again, so I'm staring this specials thread to gather all the offers in one place. So if you see or receive info from your local stores, please share the details here.

Please note:

All instruments/accessories allowed, not only guitar-related items
Specials with prices ONLY (no vague "everything on special" or "up to x percent off" proclamations)
Plain text lists please, no graphics - let's keep it neat and compact
Also to keep things on track - If you want to discuss a special, please start a new thread elsewhere on the forum rather than in this thread

Alan - I noticed on Bothners website that they supposedly having a "Festive Season" sale..??

now I am not typing this here to push their sale - if indeed they are even having one - but to ask if you know why they do not have any indicative prices on their website, and whether its possible for you to get some indicative pricing from them to post here, to prove that they are indeed having a sale??

I have to drive past 3 music shops to get to Bothners, so I am not going to go there just for their "under R100 gift ideas"... I want a sale price bargain..

can you find out for us??

They have a policy of not publishing prices. It annoys me no end and I've railed against it for years to no avail. I know I don't go to sales unless I know for sure they have something specific I want on special. After all, I want to know beforehand that it's worth the time (four hours travel) and expense (at least R350 for petrol) getting there. I know many others feel the same way - even some living close to one of their stores.

pretty damn silly of them to operate in the dark ages like that instead of embracing the online revolution..

oh well, guess I will take my wheel barrow full of christmas bonus money to the midnight sale at the other place closer to me tonight..

If i knew what their "specials" were at Bothners then I would think of waiting until the weekend to satisfy GAS, but if thats their policy, i'll turn tonight into a lovely outing for me and the wife... she gets to go for a drive , and I get to spend money.. (come to think of it, I can maybe take one of the dogs with rather, they get equally as excited about a ride in the car)
