Guys, basically what you are saying is “I’m not interested because I have 90% of it”. Don’t get me wrong, I’m on the same boat, but for people who just enter the deals zoo, these prices are better then ever. You just already bought it (and yes, for higher prices).

Eh… For some products it’s true that I paid more when I bought them, but I’ve paid a lot less for others than what the current offers are. I paid something like $4 for many of the Eventide plugins and 40 euros for the Elevate Mastering Bundle. I’m not sure, but I think some developers have also raised their prices.

(Sonible’s smart:bundle for ~$134 is a damn good deal, though.)

But yes, my biggest problem is that I already have too much stuff and GAS is losing its hold on me. Also, I’m reluctant to put much money into things like sampled string libraries, because I have a suspicion that the way AI is advancing, very good modeled and moderately priced instruments might be on the horizon.

You’re absolutely right that this is a good time to start a music hobby, as long as you can sort the wheat from the chaff.
