Do we see app prices for plug-ins soon.
Or want they to kill to resell licenses.
However, this is really unexpected.

No this is a standard NKS upgrade sale NI is doing with various companies,Orchestral Tools and a few other companies also did this recently.
I hope so. I just wonder because sales for products which mainly never do this is sometimes not a good sign
But Zebra is not included...so maybe all is good
Zebra 3 and Hive 2 are going to be released in the near future,that's why they weren't updated and included in this NKS sale.
I'm a bit surprised they didn't update Bazille with NKS,another U-he gem.

Just if you start such sales people might wait for the next bigger sale from now on.

Too bad there's no individual discounts on Twangström and Colour Copy.
I'd get the bundle but I already have Diva, RePro and Satin...

The only one I don't have is Presswork,I'm still so broke from the Black Friday/Holiday sales I'm almost relieved!

Repro came out in 2017.

It's like they have made the bundle with me in mind, I have ACE, Bazille, Hive and Zebra2 (incl. Dark Zebra), and none of these are in the bundle

Both, actually.

Repro-1 in Dec 2016.
Repro-5 in Dec 2017.

And no, at v1.1 these are definitely not EOL.

Very cool. I'll be getting Repro and Diva at these prices. I have the demo of Diva installed and use it often even with the intermittent noise.

True. I can't count the times though that i went to a store, and got something, just to look a few days later, and the thing i bought was sold for way less than i paid when i bought it.

Actually, the smartphone i own right now was sold for 200 € less than i bought it for, just a few weeks later... shit happens.

Sometimes you benefit, sometimes you don't. Fair enough. Without price dynamics, companies would have a hard time bridging times when there are few sales. And consumers have a hard time deciding whether or not it is justified to pay a lot for a product, while a sale would make the decision so much easier.

Regular sales devalue a product; why would you pay full price when you can simply wait for the next sale... In the case of u-he, the fact that they don't have regular sales (and usually only 25% when they do come around) means that their products retain their value, particularly on the second hand market. This makes them safe products to invest in imo. You can take a chance on a buying any of their products, knowing that you can almost guarantee getting 75% of your money back, should it not work out for you. I didn't really have a need for Colour Copy, but I still bought it, safe in the the knowledge that if it doesn't fit into my workflow I can pass it on (after 9 months) with minimal losses.

I'm not really a fan of companies that list their products at high RRP, only to absolutely decimate them during their sales. It's a cheap trick. A $300 compressor isn't a $300 compressor if it goes on sale multiple times a year for a fraction of that. I much prefer slightly higher, but more stable pricing.

I didn't do the math but is it worth it to get the bundle for the FX even though I already have Diva and Repro? Probably not.

Yep, you still save (PW+Satin+Twangs+Coco -> 400$) and you can resell your existing Repro + Diva easily if you had them for 9+ months. Better sell them after this sale though.
