WHY it PAYS to do a comparison - PB is currently offering the Softube Vintage Essentials Bundle,
which consists of Harmonics, Tape Echo, and Tape for $175

https://www.pluginboutique.com/product/2-Effects/39-FX-Bundle/7784-Softube-Vintage-Essentials

And that seems like a pretty good deal....UNTIL

Softube Tape is $39
https://www.pluginboutique.com/product/2-Effects/44-Saturation/3416-Tape

Harmonics is $49
https://www.pluginboutique.com/product/2-Effects/44-Saturation/4837-Harmonics

And Tape Echoes is $59
https://www.pluginboutique.com/product/2-Effects/10-Delay/7729-Tape-Echoes
 

Now, doing the math 39 + 49 + 59 = $147!

$28 savings by buying the plugins individually over buying the bundle!

Yeah, never ever take a PIB "sale" price at face value. Their marketing technique seems to mainly involve putting on a blindfold, sticking some pins in the product list, adding a random amount onto the price of them, then taking slightly less than that off again and calling it a sale.

Not exactly about this but I think quite related.

I have seen this kind of thing happening in big physical grocery stores where I am from. Like those high discount packs where you buy many of the same thing so each one is supposed to be cheaper, until you decide to actually make the calculation yourself with the original price. Of course after it has been noticed it ends being "just a mistake from the person printing the labels".
