Sweetwater DealZone today

Got an email from Sweetwater this morning says you have to call for special deals. I flipped through about 6 pages and saw a cart with 4 wheels on it for $999.  Saw a pair of headphones for $2500. Saw turntables for 2k. Saw a Fender Strat they think is worth 6k. I wonder what the deal is if you call. I found a microphone cable for $34. Think I'll call on that since I'm thinking about learning home recording. You can't put anything in a cart from these pages. You have to call or message. Not sure if it's worth wasting my reps time for a microphone cable but they asked for it. 65 pages for your viewing pleasure.

Seriously, doesn't look like there is anything there for me. Anything interest you?

I get similar emails from Kraft Music (WI) - "call for deals!" 

I don't understand the setup: am I supposed to call and ask for a list of random products that are on sale or am I supposed to call on the hope something I'm shopping for is on sale? Either case seems an incredibly inefficient means of conveying discount information. If it's such a good deal, why not list the discounts offered on a special web page and move on? Are they selling Gibson guitars, for example, which prohibits advertising anything below MSRP on new merchandise? Maybe that's it...

FWIW: I have never 'called for a deal.'

I sent an email through their little popup window. I figured if they wanted to give me a deal on one cable then what ever. My rep is really nice so I didn't want to waste his time but you know, a deal is a deal. He sent this email:

Hello Saul!

 Luke here at Sweetwater, thanks for the message! I can do that cable at 20% off, free shipping if that is all you need. Let me know and I can put it on an invoice and send you a PayPal link for payment.

 What did you decide on the T5V speakers?

 As always, thank you!

I'm envious of him.
