I've only got my eye on a couple of tempting deals.
Sweetwater has an AKG C414 XLS for under $700, which is the cheapest that I've ever seen this mic listed (normally $1100). It's a classic and very versatile mic that can do pretty much anything, since it has a huge dynamic range and several polar patterns. My problem is that I want 2 of them to use for drum overheads and other stereo jobs around the studio. But the matched pair costs something like $700 more than just 2 of the mics would cost. Makes no sense. But I still want them very badly. Maybe. Just maybe.
Also Lewitt has a 20% off sale on all of their microphones, so that's another tempting deal. But I think that my LCT440 fulfills all of my desires for a vocal-oriented mic, so I don't think that I'll pull the trigger on that sale.
Toontrack has their annual sale going on, but I think that the coming year will see me trying more real drums rather than fake ones, so I'm not too hot on that sale.
Other than that, there are the usual software plugin deals at Waves and other places. I'm not much of a plugin whore so those sales are always kind of "meh" for me. I might pick up one or two if something catches my eye.
What about you? Any deals that have your "add to cart" trigger finger itching?
