Anyone have a Black Friday pitty patter heart for maybe a good sale?

Seems to be a trend of significant mark ups prior to holidays to make the deals seem better. I like using browser extensions to track uke prices over time.

I hope that someone makes a saving but Black Friday seems to be a sales gimmick. The UK has a consumer organisation called ‘Which’, it recently reported that sellers put up prices before Black Friday to give a false ‘sale’ discount … same old, same old story. Maybe someone will strike lucky, hope so.
 
30% off ukulele blowout happening now at Wood Vibrations Music. Discount is off our already low prices.
 
I stopped participating in Black Friday sales when I found out that they force people to work at midnight, or earlier on Thanksgiving day. I have extended my boycott of these events to the internet.

About 15 years ago the family went to Best Buy on Black Friday and the spawn jumped into a small sea of people because some poor kid was getting trampled. After I pulled him out I was checking to make sure he was okay and he actually had a couple of footprints on his back. We stayed with the kid until his mom tracked him down. The mom was angry that the kid got away from her and then grabbed his hand and started walking away. The CFO tried to tell her what happened to the kid but she just kept walking, didn’t acknowledge us in any way. We left without even going into the store, it felt pretty trivial whatever deal it was we were chasing. Since then, we don’t do BF anymore. We don’t even go to any stores between Thanksgiving and New Years if we can help it. It was disheartening to see people behave like that, Christmas or not.
 
Only reference to standard shipping I could find on their website is:

Free Shipping Domestic USA on orders $255 and over
 
Magic Fluke:
Take $25 off ALL orders $250 and over
now through December 20th

"For those that are still looking for the perfect musical gift for yourself and your loved ones, there is still time to get a built-to-order instrument into production. Please allow 2-4 weeks or more as the holidays approach.

AND we are extending our $25 off to include ANY orders $250 and over, including ready-to-ship instruments. "
 
The only deal I’m interested in is for strings. I’m aware of Strings & Beyond’s sale, but I have $35 in Amazon credit that I’ve been sitting on for over a year so I’m hoping there are some good string deals.
 
I had been seriously dreaming on Emerald Guitars Harp Ukulele - But their Synergy Uke is a 17-1/2" Scale length. Regular tenor at 17 or a bit over is my limit and I don't want to tune up and capo.

I never buy strings from Amazon. They have a poor selection and prices are often significantly higher than music stores. In the past, Amazon has had a problem with counterfeit strings (don't know if they have solved this). Amazon does have a good selection of ukulele music books.
