Two weeks is $50? GC pricing is just cray cray

Two weeks is $50? GC pricing is just cray cray

Postby pfarber » Sun Dec 25, 2016 1:19 am

So I buy a new 'custom' budget guitar. It's an order only blue color that's not stocked in stores and for the most part a GC exclusive. I paid $99 (+tax and got free shipping)

So I watch GC all the time for deals and price matches... imagine my surprise when I see the same guitar 'ON SALE' for $159! HAHAHAHAHA

Notice the the 'regular' colors (red and black) are $40 less!!!! I really like the guitar, and there is no way I would have paid $160 for it... but har har I didn't! $99 on sale.

DA FUQ??? THE NEXT DAY all the colors are $159 and now it's a 'TOP SELLER' (which I doubt)

I guess come Jan they are gonna drop back down to $99. I mean I get that some stores will try and time the pricing for max sales... but geeze, two weeks can't pass before these prices randomly go up/down/sideways.

Notice that the item number for each price is different. Also the bullshit that guitars that WERE $119, and are now $159 are somehow now 'best sellers'. Yeah.. marketing bullshit.
