buying ibanez s470 during up coming sweelee sale

[IbanezFreak]

ok guys...i might have made this account quite some time back..but i've spent all my time on UG instead..anyways,i've got a question about the cost of a s470 during a swee lee sale...

since most of the users here are singaporean,i won't have to explain the sale...

i would just like to know how much any of you people bought your s470 for during a sale,so that i would have an amount to save for

 

[subversion]

the S470 lists for $1.1K.

so when is the swee lee sale?

 

[IbanezFreak]

you ain't got me...i want to know the price of it during the sale...

and no,i don't know when the sale is

 

[subversion]

since most of the users here are singaporean,i won't have to explain the sale...

pertaining to the above quote, i assumed you know what the SALE is all about: 50% off list prices...

 

[IbanezFreak]

yeah,MOST items...

 

[EmmanuelC]

It's all 50%, only artist signature guitars 40%.

I'm quite sure. So yours should be 50%..

[Nicholasim]

all guitars except artist i think. Other accessories are not 50%

 

[van_halen]

well, maybe by the time they come up with the sale, the list price is not $1.1k anymore.

 

[subversion]

yeah,MOST items...

majority less nett tagged ones (which are about 10% of the goods on offer).

 

[edder]

this one's in anticipation of an "08 SALE...

 

[IbanezFreak]

the next sale will only be at the end of the year? i remembered there was a new year sale...and i've been planning to get this guitar for a long time...i can't wait anymore!!

 

[lifele55]

Well, you can hope there's a CNY sale, just keep hoping. Next might be the mid-year sales or if they decide to scrap that then EOY sale. If they decide to scrap that too.... then my my, you won't be getting a guitar anytime soon I suppose?

Just save up till the net price so at least that way you can have leftovers to buy other stuffs.

 

[van_halen]

yeah u actually queue up to get stuff at prices that should be the normal price

 

[IbanezFreak]

CNY? so ON CNY? because i can only afford it a 500 after CNY...

 

[re_unknown]

There MAY BE a CNY sale but knowing SL, such stuff can't be predicted.(oops!)

And I think what u're thinking of is actually the end of year sale where items are discounted up to 40%/50%.

However, the "CNY sale" or "Mid-Year sales" is not the 50% one which is only end of year lurhs...

3 50% sales one year how to run business?

 

[jcaosdon]

haha yeah. besides their prices for ibanez are quite good already what.

 

[steveVAI]

yeah u actually queue up to get stuff at prices that should be the normal price

is it really that bad?

 

[van_halen]

is it really that bad?

fancy paying MIA prices for MIM fenders, gibson prices for MIA fenders, and more-ex-than-prs prices for gibsons.
