Unlike other years when the sales have been in store, this year it seems you have to click on each item to see whether it's new, used, or a factory second. Kind of a PITA if you ask me.

As well, it looks like items will be available for purchase at different times during the day depending on the item, kind of like Amazon Lightning Deals. It might turn out to be a massive fail like the old NCIX Boxing Day fiascos. I guess we'll see what happens.

What really sucks is we can’t see what the price will be yet. Previous sales we would know.

Yea, I noticed that too. Usually there are some deals, but it's kinda hard to plan ahead without the prices. Gonna be a bit chaotic going through the sale pages of every L&M near me the moment the sale goes live.

They just want people to be impulsive buyers.

I also agree that not being able to see the price in advance sucks.

One thing that helps a little bit is to select "Sort By" either low->high or vice versa and that reorders the items by price. I have no idea if that's the current asking price or what the price will be during the sale. Offhand I'm not seeing anything I'm interested in but I still thought it was worthwhile to post the thread here in case someone else finds something they want.

Not familiar with this before, is it one of a kind and once sold won’t be available anymore or are they going to have several same items up for grabbing?

Most of the stuff is used gear they want to get rid of so it's one of a kind.

For the new stuff, it's usually one for the more expensive items like guitars and maybe more than one for something fairly cheap like accessories.

Click the link in the OP, and then click the link for the store you're interested in. There's no master list - everything is split out by store.

I've gone back and updated the OP with the sale FAQs and Terms and Conditions. I actually never bothered to read them myself before but there's important info there.

And if anyone is wondering, I have no affiliation with Long & McQuade other than being their customer for several decades. I've been a musician for many many years.

Based on your experiences with the sales from before, how would you say the pricing is? For example, I was looking at the Toronto (Bloor) store and they have a bunch of Yamaha P-125s listed. Looking on the L&M site the regular price is about $849. Based on previous sales, how low do you think the price could go (I won't quote you, just want to get a sense of what I can expect Smiling Face With Open Mouth)?

In another one of their sales they were down to about 500 and change.
