Black Friday and Other Great Deals

[mac5155]

Is a wired ring floodlight 1080p cam at $140 a good deal?

[Joegap]

Seems like a good deal to me. I paid 200 for mine like 4 years ago. It still works great and gives me a great view of my backyard

[mac5155]

Cool. It's a gift for the parents this year. Maybe pull the trigger on it now.

According to Keepa, $139 is the best price it has ever been. BTW, you should 100% install the Keepa plugin for your browser. It shows you historical data, you can set alerts, etc. It's the best tool for Amazon, period.

[mac5155]

Best buy has it as well for that price, and fuel perks on gift cards, and cash back at gas stations. Nice. I should be able to stack that all together for right around an extra $10-15 off

Black Friday this year has either sucked or the stores aren't releasing their ads until the week of.

[NTP66]

Come to think of it, I haven't received any BF ads at all yet outside of maybe Costco.

I feel like stores just do Black Friday the entire month of November now, there isn't much different actually on Black Friday.

[Morkle]

Like all decent things, they have over shot Black Friday - and now it's just a normal sale. There's nothing good about that, or Cyber Monday - and there just isn't much worth buyin.

This is an improvement. People were literally getting killed over cheap TVs.

4k movies went on sale again today at Amazon and best buy. I'm fully stocked up. Also got a new charger for joy cons. I'm good to go.

I agree.

[mac5155]

I mean the process is improved, yes, but the deals are definitely not.

The Sam's ad I have doesn't even have prices in it. Lame. Guess I'll just price match and/or return stuff as neededm

No prices? That's lame as ****.

There are a few retailers that I accept digital marketing from, and I can assure you they've been active.

[DigitalGypsy66]

So we still can't go to a store or online retailer and buy a PS5 without a waiting list/invitation? 2 years after release?

I may have my parents get that for my kids (if they want it, as they haven't used the PS4 much lately). We usually go the gift card route with my parents, but my sister's kids have elaborate lists and get a lot more gifts than my kids do (and yes, my wife will total up the differences between what my kids get from my parents, and what my sister's kids get lol)

Right, yeah, "pre black Friday" or whatever. The deals are no more than a random sale.

From the few forums I've read, resellers dominate the PS5 market. Which sucks for folks like you.

I had an invite a while back from Sony but I don't think it's still good .

I've seen them in stock though on the sony site here and there and at GameStop.

It's insane it's still an issue though.

[DigitalGypsy66]

If it was me buying it for them, no problem, I could figure it out. But we're talking my 81 year old father who won't get it He'll either write me a check, pay way too much, or buy an empty box.

Two years later, it shouldn't be this bad.

[mac5155]

Bought the ring flood cam today, check that off the list for my parents.
Mother in law got a luggage set.
Father in law is in line for a Bluetooth speaker. Id like to get a decent one for him.
Nintendo switch, some odds and ends for both kids.
Wife's niece wants a TSwift hoodie and nephew wants a Nike one. Easy enough.

Christmas shopping finna be done by December in casa de mac. All I'll have left is the family gift exchange.

[mac5155]

Oh. The wife. She's whining about wanting a keurig. Like what is this 2005? Who the f uses keurig anymore?

[Shyster]

I have a basic keurig machine down in my basement that you could have for free.

[mac5155]

She has a perfectly functioning ninja coffee maker that she just "had to have" a few years back.
