What is an item you're waiting to go on sale before you buy it?

Graphics cards. I’m hoping the 30XX series sees a sharp price drop with the new cards coming out.

Withings is having some decent sales, so I was thinking about one of their low-end scales and their BP monitor, and maybe their thermometer because I need a reliable one and I’d spend about the same on one at the local pharmacy anyway.

That’s about it for me I think. Still waiting for the new Mikrotik hap ax3 to be available somewhere, but don’t expect there to be any sales in that regard.

Related: I've been using CamelCamelCamel* to track Amazon price drops.

I just used to to grab a new Kindle Fire HD Plus for practically nothing.

I have the BP monitor and the scale, and both are really useful / have good UX!

LG Oled C2 42 inch. I’m hoping to use it as my main monitor.

Kindle scribe pending initial reviews being positive.

The new onyx boox tab is tempting but the company looks too shady (ignoring gpl, lol privacy policy).

Nothing. I don’t believe in discounts. Most of the time they aren’t real, more an illusion.

A Nespresso OL machine and some Audeze headphones (LCD-X). The latter never seems to be on sale however so my wait might be futile.
