I do get that Briscoes is an easy target in this regard (and anyone that buys anything from Briscoes full price needs their head read!), but I also think it’s risky to disregard all their sales on this basis. For example, there can be some real bargains when they do 50% off all stock, eg this brings espresso machines like this one down to a price that’s never found anywhere else.
We spent $300 Saturday, all 70% offI think, updating kitchen stuff, so walked out with about $900 worth. Kicker was we used $300 vouchers we got on creditcard Hotpoints. Not a bad deal!
I've just ordered a couple of pieces of heavily discounted recording gear from Amazon Australia.
They've got the Behringer UMC404HD audio interface (shipping from the UK) for $143 AUD - normally about $380 in NZ.
While I was ordering, I also picked up a pair of Behringer C2 microphones for $62 - about half the NZ price.
The audio interface will presumably arrive with a UK power supply (although can be USB powered if you're not drawing too much phantom power for the microphones). Reading around, it's worth noting that the polarity on the power supply is not the most common form, so if you decide to use a substitute NZ power supply, be careful not to fry anything...
