Between November 4 and 9, 492 listings dropped out of Thomann's catalog, against 96 in the first three days of the month. 200 went on November 6, the night Cyber Deals reached Thomann's feed. Guitars and basses lost 251, keys 62, PA 61, studio gear 43, microphones and drums 26 each.
A listing leaves when it has had no stock for two days. Some come back, so gone does not always mean discontinued.
The deals that sold out
63 of the gone listings had been on Thomann's Cyber Deals list, and 57 of them were guitars and basses. The most expensive:

Strandberg lost five, four Boden guitars and a Boden Bass, and D'Angelico four. One Control lost 13 pedals from the list, among them the Honey Bee OD, which had just been cut by 57%. If one of these was on your list, the Cyber Deals board shows what is still available, refreshed every night.
The priciest exits
The most expensive listings to go were not deals: a Sennheiser Spectera bundle with 16 bodypacks at $44,557, a Martin Custom Shop Tree of Life at $22,421, a Yamaha GB1 K grand in polished white at $16,212, and a PRS Private Stock Custom 24 in Sage Dragon's Breath at $13,397. Fender's Masterbuilt 50s Strat relic by Andy Hicks, $10,606, went too.
Whole lines thinning out
- PreSonus lost 13 listings, ten of them Eris studio monitors and their bundles, plus the StudioLive 64S mixer.
- D'Angelico lost 12, mostly Excel archtops and acoustics.
- The box pro lost 15, seven of them active PA sets.
- Harley Benton lost 45, the most of any brand, many of them bass sets and five-string basses. Fender lost 36 and Yamaha 28, among them three upright pianos.
45 of the gone listings had only arrived since October 1, among them Pearl's Export kits in Deep Nebula and Ludwig's Continental Club in Blue Sparkle.
If your wishlist item is gone
Our rankings only list what Thomann has in stock, so they already show the alternatives: jumbo acoustics for the SJ-200, headless guitars for the Strandbergs and active nearfield monitors for the Eris.
Where the numbers come from. Thomann's partner feed, which we read every night. A listing counts as gone after two nights without stock; the date is the first of them. "On the Cyber Deals list" means it appeared on Thomann's Cyber Deals page at least once since November 5, which our board checks every six hours. Prices are Thomann's US prices before the listing left.
