Default RainSong: CDN $949.99 Amazon (Canada) deal of the day

I've ordered things from Amazon in Canada that I couldn't get from Amazon in the US so I get emails from them from time to time. Today's deal of the day is on RainSong guitars, various models all @ CDN $949.99.. There are only a few of each model left but if you're looking for a Rainsong you might want to check it out.

That's too bad...I paid $1800 for my Rainsong Smokey SMHX? $950 would have been a killer deal!

Strange, the first one I clicked on said 19 hrs left, but when I tried to order it took the order but wouldn't ship to my address, maybe it's Canada only. Oh well, sorry 'bout that.

The deal is still on, however you'll need a Canadian address to ship to.

Noticed the same thing. Typical online baloney....."Deal Of The Day! (But you can't have it....)"

But, I found a solution: bought an OM1000N2 and had it shipped to a friend's place in Ottawa!

Seems like a huge savings for this guitar. And if I don't like it, then off to the classified ads it goes.....

It would actually be $731 with the current favorable exchange rate.

If you're able to ship to a Canadian Address you'd still have to pay the dollar difference (US vs. Canadian) so the $949.99 Rainsong would cost $1,168.49. Still a crazy good deal.

No, my total cost (including shipping and tax) in US dollars was $882. Pretty big discount for this guitar. Always liked the idea of having a high quality CF guitar but never wanted to spend $2500 to get one.

Wow impressive deal for sure, usually we really get stiffed on guitars in Canada with exchange rates, taxes, customs, and shipping more than doubling the US costs. Too bad that I'm not in the market for anything right now.

Please keep on posting these deals.
