Discounts / Sales on OEM bands

[MacDevil7334]

Noooooooo I hope it comes back again. I was waiting to purchase it on sale. I hope I didn’t wait too long.

Hopefully Apple restocks one more time. I would jump on it if they do though. Winter bands are usually the shortest lived and this color is clearly very popular. There hasn’t been any sign of it at resellers like Amazon and Best But (even though Kumquat and Northern Blue are available at Amazon). So, I wouldn’t expect a sale on Plum anytime soon (and maybe not ever). It’s definitely going to be up there with the MT/AG Nike band as the hardest to find from 2020 once it’s discontinued. Fingers crossed for you!

Not a particularly exciting band, but here’s a 44mm Deep Navy sport band NIB for $30 OBO.

Thank you! I for sure am. Ugh damn me for waiting. It was posted on Amazon at some point, and it's available on the Canadian Apple Store... I only found out by searching the part number on Google.

Also... it appears a couple of the Vegas stores still have the 44mm in stock. Anyone in Vegas willing to help someone out? lol

This is not a deal.
I FINALLY found a US seller offering the unicorn 42mm Ultra Violet.
I was about to purchase it for the listed price, but I noticed he’s/she’s accepting offers, what do you guys think is a fair price for a brand new one?

Not a discount. But the Plum sport band is already sold out again at Apple and may or may not be coming back. $68 isn’t quite up to scalper prices (though it is close). Might be worth it if you haven’t gotten Plum yet and are worried Apple won’t stock it a 3rd time. I wouldn’t be surprised to see the price for one of these go into the Ultra Violet/Celestial Teal/Hyper Grape range once Apple discontinues it for good.

Woah, it’s sealed. Those are extremely rare nowadays. $120 is pretty fair for a sealed one.

Last one sold for like $210 😬

edit: last one I saw sold for $210. That was over a year ago though. They’ve come down in value since then.

I’m like genuinely curious would you take it out and wear it or leave it sealed forever?

I personally wouldn’t be able to keep it in the box. I’d always be paranoid that I got scammed or something unless I checked to make sure it was in there. I wouldn’t buy it, but even if I did, I’d keep it new since I already have UV.

I think I’d have to take it out and wear it. If I’m gonna pay that much for something I’m gonna enjoy it

Welp doesn’t matter now he upped the price from $120 to $250 lolol

Agreed. I bought one before the price increase lol, and very excited to receive it and definitely open it and use it.

mystery solved, it’s @AlexAppleBand, who I assume is about to get temp suspended.

Yeah no thanks. I’ll wait for one for $100. It’s not a ‘need’ lol

Haha that’s exactly what I’m worried about now. I got a tracking number already, but I'll feel better once it's picked up by USPS.

I think y'all are the only ones who would be this excited about a purple band lol

I mean you can count the number of Purples on one hand so opening a sealed one is definitely a rare occurrence

That's true, I didn't think about it this way lol.
I was going to post a picture here, but you're pushing me to make it a motion picture lol

Haha you’re welcome? Probably better safe than sorry in this case if you really want the band. You’re only paying $15 over retail so that’s not terrible. Hope you enjoy the band- it’s a beautiful color!

After shipping and tax it was closer to $20 over retail + tax but if it goes the way of other bands it’s a small mark up.

Legit. That seller had a huge band drop over the summer and we all picked up a bunch of bands from him all at half price. I personally got a Spruce Fog loop and can vouch that it’s authentic.

Edit: Well on second glance, that link you posted is for a listing from a seller with a similar sounding name and an identical listing picture. Can’t vouch for that one. BUT here’s the seller we all bought from over the summer.

Thanks for pointing me to the right seller! Wish he had a cerulean loop in 40mm, but the celestial teal should make for a nice addition!

LOL. I'm not an Ebay seller, but I was literally thinking I might be the only person on earth with a sealed 42mm UltraViolet band. I'm not a collector, just bought two of these when they came out.
