Its the day after thanksgiving so its the 26th November, followed by Cyber Monday and Sausage Tuesday.

UA usually have the sale last all weekend and of course there's some serious discounts throughout December.

I've been futzing around on my script for a little while today. Seems that it's not gonna be quite as easy as I imagined to update it. Please be patient. I should have it figured out later tonight/tomorrow.

Thanks for all the effort! Maybe it'll even make its way to a sticky for the fortnight.

Mostly updated. Scripting isn't quite complete and I had to manually take care of a few things, but I didn't want to keep everyone waiting while I figured it out.

Nice. I'll have to check it out in more detail soon, but at first glance it looks like the same issue I have in my scraping is present with their's. It stems from the way UA has coded their priceboxes. However, import.io may simplify my workflow overall. Thanks for passing it along!

More soon!

Do you know if there is chance Studer is getting cheaper than 149 euro? So the prices won´t go even lower today when it is the black friday?

 

[PJ...]

Their plans are expensive.

Their plans are expensive.

Wow. Used to be free.

 

[Gitaarwerk]

Perhaps we can create something ourselves. Google has Firebase with some serverless coding and application hosting. With some free tiers. Perhaps I can cook something up. Probably not anytime soon...shouldn't be too hard.

For those of you that are questioning whether you should buy a plug or not, I put together a handy Google Sheet that shows the Black Friday sales as a %, as well as some data on whether I've seen a plug cheaper (based off the promo emails I have saved).

The following plugins have been seen cheaper:

Ampex ATR-102	$199.00	August
Fatso Jr/Sr	$199.00	August
Precision K Stereo	$99.00	June
Harrison 32C	$99.00	June
Neve 33609	$99.00	June
PRecision Multiband	$129.00	June
SPL Transient Designer	$99.00	June
Cooper Time Cube	$79.00	June
API 500	$179.00	June
Magnetic Tape Bundle	$398.00	June
Liitle Labs VoG	$79.00	June
EP-34 Tape Echo	$99.00	Multiple
Studer A800	$199.00	Multiple

Full spreadsheet is available at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1mNc71xMoMGuFJ-G2pXSJ1FN8PMyOiH-iQ5lqiBY3mGo/edit?usp=sharing

Thought I'd share this 2019 excel file based on my first year with UA just in time for Black Friday this year so everyone can compare this year's BF sales prices to the previous 10 months.

Hope the prices are all accurate as I originally mixed my personal offers in the Sale columns for the first 4 or 5 months but I hope I corrected all of them. You can enter a negative value in the Coupon column so it'll give you a net percentage savings/discount value.

Thanks for the Excel file.
Just one point I checked - Ultimate 7 is on offer at $2499 still, you have it at $3999.
U7 is definitely the cheapest way to get a lot of plugs for cheap.
The next best deal (in my opinion) is generally when the 10 bundle is 14 for the price of 10, and there's a discount on the price (around Christmas last year, IIRC).

If you are going to end up with a lot of UA plugs, it's better to buy in bulk.
