100pk Velcro Reusable Self-Gripping Cable Ties for $6.32

Today’s block of updates in going all over the place, from the mundane to the audiophile bundles 🙂 This is a mundane but practical item if you are lost in a sea of cables. You can get a 100pk of Velcro One Wrap Self-Gripping Cable Ties for $6.32. These are reusable, you can use them many times. They are 8 inches long (fully unwrapped) and 1/2″ thick per the description.

The gallery pictures along with the demo video can give you a pretty good feel of what to expect. With a 100pk in this offer, you are essentially paying just over 6c per cable tie, probably beating even dollar stores?

The good news is that even though they have a low price, they are not an Add-On item, so if you are a Prime member, you get free 2-day shipping, even if you just buy one set of these. But if you need more, the limit is ten 100pks per customer.

Still Good: Sennheiser HD 600 with $150 Gift Card for $400

With Dads and Grads season, this is one option to consider, you could buy two gifts with one purchase 🙂 This offer continues, you get the new condition open-back over-ear Sennheiser HD 650 along with a $150 plastic Amazon Gift Card, bundled together for $400 at Amazon by Amazon actual. The gift card envelope has a Winter theme, but you can always put the gift card in a different box or envelope 🙂

PRO TIP: in very rare occasions when buying bundles with gift cards, the gift card may arrive before the actual product ships. In such cases, you may be able to apply the value of the gift card towards the purchase price of the item. Unless Amazon changed the accounting of it and this can no longer happen. Assume this is not so, and consider it a pleasant surprise in the very rare occasion this may happen.

At the moment, the bundle mentioned above is the best value among the handful of Sennheiser Gift Card bundles. Other models participating are the HD650 (unfavorable offer, $500 w/$100 GC), HD 380 and 280. The HD25* bundle looks like it has been dis-bundled (new verb?).

Westone Mini-Monitor Vault II Case for $19 [limit 5]

The Westone Mini-Monitor Vault II Case, in the “smoke” color scheme is currently on sale for $19, in new condition, with a limit of five per customer at Amazon by Amazon actual. There are multiple models on the same Amazon product page, so make sure you are reading reviews and answered-questions about the correct model. I don’t know why Amazon does that, it creates more confusion than it does any good, but what do I know? I’m just a web monkey 🙂
