Dude! Please tell me you will be doing a working vacation aka staying on OfferUp for us? I made that cactus listing show up once, but I swear you have access to some different set of search results...for sure it seems like the proximity/irl aspect of the app makes it so they shuffle the results each time. And I think you also just have an eye (or the diligence) to drill down on results that just look like the standard black/midnight blue/pink sand sales.

Actually might take a break from the search for a good week or two haha. I'm starting to have more bands than singles in my bank account..

Just guessing based on the photo on the box. Medium bands may show a large band photo too though, not sure.

That’s a great deal either way... but looking at her profile I’m wondering if she’s a scammer of sorts if she’s selling some stolen stuff. On her offers page, she has listed A brand new 12.9 magic keyboard for the iPad Pro for $175 (half price)... bunch of high resell sneakers for way less than retail, etc... odd.

Saw that too. The sneakers were posted a long time ago though. Could just be gifts. OfferUp provides decent buyer protection, so it's worth a shot.

I feel like the price people list on OfferUp is only a starting point. She didn’t respond to $35 and that guy listing the cactus for $25 responded but didn’t accept. Prob for the better. Do I really need black loop? Cactus with my celestial teal?
 
Best Buy has many bands on sale for 20% off so perhaps we’ll see the new bands announced tomorrow/this week.

Has BB discounted them to 50% in past sales?

BB had this same sale 1-2 weeks ago...they seem to just constantly run Apple sales, and like to match Amazon on the 20% band discount, so that’s prob why they’re back at it again. Over on the big thread we were kinda expecting bands today.

Between the protests and no WWDC keynote tomorrow, I’m thinking tomorrow...but even if that was always their plan maybe they will hold off because of protests.

One difference with today’s Best Buy sale: the Spring 2020 bands are included this time. The sales they have had over the past 2 months only included the Fall 2019 bands and any old bands they still had in inventory. To my knowledge, this is the first time we have seen the Spring 2020 bands discounted.

While many spring bands are included in the sale, some of them are not. One of those not included (Vitamin C) just happens to be one I was hoping to grab at a discount :mad:. Despite that, I appreciate the heads up on the sale!

Oh that’s a bummer. I saw that a few 2020 bands were on sale and figured they all were.
