I Would been kicking myself had I missed this deal. Just got it on the last day!

 

SSL has these crazy deals from time to time. I get them regulary via my e-mail.

 

I'll need to check my emails more often.

 

where was the sale? on their site? or third party?

 

so is UAD right now @ 49$ https://audiodeluxe.com/collections/on-sale/products/universal-audio-ssl®-4000-series-console-bundle

 

This is all just marketing. The market is saturated, and they're trying to convince you that you'll save a lot of money.
SSL has these offers almost every month.

The net profit is:
1 x $49 = $49
10 x $49 = $490
100 x $49 = $4900
1000 x $49 = $49000
