Darryl Lambert Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 (edited) LOR usually has 2 sales a year.One in the spring ( March/April ) & one in the summer ( June/August )Those months I quoted are for when the sale starts.The sales only last a couple of weeks.There are better deals in the spring sale as they are for inventory reduction. Don't miss the sales sign up here! Edited October 2, 2015 by Darryl Lambert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpageler Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 The spring LOR sale is a "mad grab" type sale. Limited inventory and done during a very short time frame..less than 24 hours. The summer sale doesn't have lmited inventory and is over mutilple days. So a less panic driven sale. Some item are slightty cheaper during spring sale, but many other items are the same price such as cmb16/24 boards.You can also watch for used hardware in the coffee shop forums. But you have to compare the price to age of the hardware and take into consideration that there is no warranty. You'll see used hardware going for what you can buy it new , during LOR sales and have a full warranty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmmienLightFan Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Spring or summer sales are the best time to buy. Outside of sales prices stay almost the same all year, so whenever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robongar Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 (edited) It also depends on what you will be looking for, A lot owners of controllers are changing over to RGB. So are moving there controllers on. There's often controllers for sale on here and on Facebook ( light-o-rama users)However, second hand is not always cheaper. I'm not sure if the warranty is transferable plus of course the postage can put the price up. Edited October 3, 2015 by robongar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
