Does anyone know what a typical marked down price for a 1.5tb micro SD is? I camel'd it and it looks like amazon listing was $120 around black friday- did other retailers have roughly same deal?

And I really don't know how I managed to double reply like that.

You Adele Dazeem'd it.

(tbh, I was thinking current price of $150 for 1.5tb doesn't seem too bad, but that's 6 frozen headphones worth of savings! a veritable iceberg of headphones!)

Everything else is used, but these first couple are new.

I just got them and for surge protectors it's my favorite purchase this month. 1 foot long and UL listed. I don't have to give up spots on my battery backup when using a power brick that hogs 3 spaces.
DEWENWILS 10 Pack Short Extension Cord New $18.99
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0891TSBXC/

The price on the six packs really brings the price down. Just got them for the connectors, which under heavy use still fit smoothly. Some cheap ones unscrewed on me, these are more confidence inspiring. Compared to a single pair the price is easy to live with.
6 Units - 1 Foot - Canare L-4E6S, Star Quad Balanced Male To Female Microphone Cables New $61.95
https://www.amazon.com/Units-Balanced-Microphone-Amphenol-Connectors/dp/B074XXN84M

Got one of these this week when they went on a small sale to replace an older switching UPS that didn't have network cable protection or USB output.
CyberPower CP1000PFCLCD PFC Sinewave UPS System, 1000VA/600W $164 new
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00429N192/

Hard Shell Storage Case Travel Box for Sennheiser or Beyerdynamic Headphones $6.24 and free shipping if you buy $10+ I get these all the time and they will fit the HD600/650/6xx and also the DT770/880/990 fits in them too. It's a really nice hard case, but I'd order at least two so they ship stacked and don't get crushed (they arrive unzipped, so two really protects them best).
https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805860700281.html

(P)Leather EVA Digital Storage Bag $1.99 and free shipping using the phone app, the web based price is much higher. These are really nice cases. I bought 4 different ones to compare and they're much nicer than the other $1.99 ones, lining is really soft. It's more of a smooth foam outside, no leather is used on these.
https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805931598705.html

Bought both this week and they work great together. The mic needs phantom power in instrument mode, pretty easy setup.
