Discounts / Sales on OEM bands

Yeah it’s actually probably that. Let me check the buttons in the flesh.

I just mean rare to see for resale, esp for cheap.

Yeah its Ber-Ber. The seafoam buttons have contrast but not that saturation. Also explains the aging. Did you cop? I feel like Beryl was available for pretty low with all those series 5 overstock bands that hit DailySteals.

Nah it wasn’t mine. I’m not sure who copped it. It’s a nice color, I have it myself. Hunt continues for Seafoam, but I’m keeping to 42/44 only
 
Anyone else get this on their Prime Day 25% off order or am I just the unlucky one? Of course after I return Mallard to Best Buy. 🙄

Noooooo. That’s such a shame. I got predloop next day (sealed) and Mallard yesterday was open but mint. 40mm privilege rides again!

LOL! Sounds like a lot of people had problems with Amazon open box on Prime Day. Wrong item received, packaging swapped, worse damage than expressed. It's a **** show. I received my Apple Pencil without problem luckily. Apparently what happened was they put the wrong address on the envelope and they didn't catch it until it got to the wrong facility outside of Phoenix (Phoenix itself is my major Amazon Hub, it was directed to their facility west of Phoenix). They went to relabel it and it got 'lost' in the process. Total savings over retail was about $37 and the most they offered as a courtesy was $10. Oh and the $10 can't be used on anything not sold explicitly by Amazon (so Warehouse Deals is excluded as it's not Amazon proper) so I can't stack the $10 on an open box price.

Try talking to customer service. This happened with something I bought on Black Friday. I told them I was very unsatisfied with how the situation was handled and that the product I had purchased was no longer on sale at the same price. They made a new order for me at the original purchase price while I was speaking with them.

“With all due respect sir or madam, are you or are you not ‘customer obsessed’?” 😆

I think if the bands weren’t an Open Box Warehouse deal, they would. In fact they said they would. But they won’t for this because it wasn’t ‘sold by Amazon’, it was sold by ‘Amazon Warehouse’.

I dunno if this is completely right place to ask but does anyone know what would be a "normal" price for Hyper Grape sport loop these days? Don't see many of them popping up so have no idea which are overpriced and which are not.

Also, if Apple store online shows stock for some old, like 2018 old, bands, do they actually still have them in stock? Not seeing anything I'd want to buy so can't verify that way but I'm just curious after seeing Celestial Teal and Smokey Mauve sport bands there.

Def starting at $80usd, but prob not under $100. For whatever reason the fall 2018 sport loops you mention are in crazy abundance, and even the Hyper Grape sport band 44mm came back to Best Buy a few times, and the Spruce loop also in abundance, even Nike had clearance on the Teal Tint loop, but Spruce and Teal Tint sport bands are harder to find. I guess it’s as simple as the hard ones to find from wholesalers sold well in season!
