I mean, I posted to it, M0n posted to it, everyone else posted to it. It isn’t supposed to be a daily thread afaik. Only supposed to showcase real deals.
It doesn’t really matter what it was before you started posting. What it matters is what the thread was intended for, which afaik is real, honest to god or whatever you believe or don’t believe in, deals. Amazon and drop decidedly do not count. That’s been corroborated by mannnnny forum regulars.
It’s not like most of us are not subscribed to these newsletters, we just tend to think a little more critically before we post them. We would request that you try to do the same. I understand that you want as many people as possible to get into the hobby (same here), but that isn’t the purpose of the thread.
If you feel like you aren’t getting any respect here, it might be time to reflect a bit on what you post.
I would like it if you stayed, cause your opinions are still valuable. I (and others) would just request a little more discretion.
I would be careful with then. I bought am amp in their eBay store. It has been more than 2 months, they don’t have any info on the product, and they don’t want to refund. I know about pandemic affecting time, but they advertised a 2 weeks delivery time and that sure haven’t happened.
Yeah, maybe we need some more clarity on where to post deals? I post speaker and speaker amp deals in the Off-Topic DEALS thread because this present DEALS thread is specifically in the headphones category. And I get a ton of speaker deals in my Facebook feed. Zuckerberg et al have figured out I like sound gear. Not quite sure how I feel about that…
Drop lists it on one of their pages how long it will take to ship it. if its something you want badly and its gonna take a while buy it somewhere else. I buy stuff on drop that im curious about but dont need right away and just wait for it and enjoy the deal lol. i got my Darkvoice from drop and it was 185$ i couldnt find that deal anywhere.
No one is breaking any rules here. I think if someone or a group of people want a thread to change or receive added guidelines they should take it to the feedback thread and involve a mod and not speak for the entire forum.
You have good intentions and I appreciate that. I apologize if it sounded like I was ganging up on you, but again, it can get pretty spammy. Maybe just stick with the popular drops and/or the really good deals on other sites.
This has been brought to his attention multiple multiple times and he just ignores it and continues to post random stuff that like you said aren’t even really deals. I feel your pain as it makes this thread useless because you have to sift through all the spam garbage to find the actual deals that are posted, in a channel that’s supposed to be for deals lol
Deals that are not amazing are still deals. If there’s anything that makes good deals hard to find in this thread is dozens of post complaining that some deals aren’t good enough.
What a completely ridiculous statement. Of COURSE used gear is going to be cheaper, how is something not a deal because you can get something used cheaper? As far as I can tell this is still a current production model so the date when it was introduced is completely irrelevant. This just feels like you’re attacking Antpage because you dislike him.
I wasn’t only referring to the fact to you can buy this much cheaper used because that’s obvious that you can buy something cheaper used than new. I was more speaking on the fact that you open the box and it’s worth near half what you just paid for it. Which means it’s not a good buy. What kind of a deal is something you buy and lose half the money on it when you go to upgrade or sell it lol. An example of a good deal on drop is the sales on the 58X and 6XX when they go on sale, you can get them for $180/$115 respectively and sell them for the same price on the used market when you’re done with them.
also I realize most things wont be as good as buy it and sell it used for what you paid for it new minus tax and shipping but worth near half what you just paid for it is not a deal by any means.
