I just tried a few items, and it worked like the ad says…

$150-$249.99 - 5%

$250-$699.99 - 10%

$700-$3299,99 - 15%

Guitar Center has 15% an item over $299, so you could probably get MF to pricematch if you wanted a cheaper item and were so inclined.

Agreed. Use the Guitar Center discount to price-match. I used it with Zzounds and it worked out pretty good.

Very weak, and there are exclusions, like Tech21 stuff. Ive been debating on getting a VT bass deluxe so ive been waiting for a 15 or 20% off single item. I thought Id give the 10% a shot but it didnt work with the VT bass.

MF will not let you double dip. You either take the 15% or the lower match price but they are firm that you can't have both. I tried that with a bass I just bought from them. A couple of tries, and both were immediately rejected.

not much of a deal?

I guess 15% isnt much. But i bought a used as-new item worth $999 marked down to $700, purchased online thru Ebates (3% rebate) while using the 15% discount code at checkout for final price of $574. I think a 43% overall discount aint too shabby

Yeah, for you. How many other people are hitting orders over $700, on items that are already deeply discounted? Maybe there are a couple, but you can understand that everyone else will see 5% or 10% as a weak, lame deal.

They could decide NOT to give any discounts. Would that be better? Too many complainers these days IMO.

Its a great deal if you're looking to buy a Rickenbacker. They have a sale on them already plus the 15% discount. Pretty good deal if you ask me.

What are they on sale for? I saw that On Sale deal on the item and had them email me the price, and it was still $1949.

Last quote i got was for $1849 for fireglo. with the discount it comes in right under $1600. Pretty good for a brand new rick from what I've seen.

+1 billion. Not everyone is looking to purchase the same items.

I wanted to pick up a VT bass. The percent off was ZERO.

If you wanted a smaller item, the percent off is only 5%. Sucks.

Consider that MF and GC have both had 15 and 20% off entire order coupons, regardless of purchase size, this deal sucks.

With all the complaining I thought I logged into Harmony Central by accident.

If you don't like the deal go somewhere else where they have a better deal.

Will do...but in the meantime I want to emphasize how super weak THIS "sale" is.

Not such a (hot) deal.

[quote=boynamedsuse;10477051]With all the complaining I thought I logged into Harmony Central by accident.

When I saw this weak deal I thought I logged onto Harmony Central. By accident of course, lol.
Obviously enough people agree, it's not much of a (hot) deal. Don't get offended. It's not personal. Some people just disagree how much of a deal this is. Though through Ebates.com you can score another 3% back in addition to your 5/10/15% so go for it if your so moved.

I'm in for a $270 item, minus 10% discount, minus 3% Ebates, free shipping, and no tax. It seems like a good deal to me.
