Bloody Amazon Black Friday!

QuizteamBleakley · 22/11/2010 09:47

Amazon are doing a 'Black Friday' (started today, finishes Fr - hence name) where each hour they flog summat off dirt cheap. I pressed BUY at 09:00:01 for Take That's new CD at £1 (for SiL) and have been "waiting in the queue" ever since...

I'm 37+3 and have been sleeping about 3 hours a night. AIBU to just go back to bed and sod the savings?! Grin

i don't get it.

chocolat, a toothbrush or a 'mystery' nigella book?

i don't want ny of those.

It is a bit of a random selection of things. Earlier there was a notebook computer with, I think, couple of hundred pounds off. Lots of games and CDs and things. Some seem more bargainous than others!

I've been planning to buy the Nigella book, so if it turns out to be a fiver or so, brilliant. If it's not much of a bargain, or is something else entirely, just chuck it out of the basket again.

TheLogLady · 22/11/2010 18:50

do i want nigella or chocolate?

TragicallyHip · 22/11/2010 18:54

Chocolates are definitely a weird item to have on there!

lucky1979 · 22/11/2010 18:56

Chocolates are great if they are super-cheap but we usually buy a big selection box to take to parents/PIL when we go for Xmas so if it's 50p then that's a present sorted. :)

Although if anyone else is thinking of bidding, its a rubbish idea, who wants chocolate!

becaroo · 22/11/2010 18:57

those giulian chocs are in asda for £5!!

Housemum · 22/11/2010 18:59

Well done on the shaver Umami - I clicked that as well the second it popped up but was in the "queue" then it went. Oh well, it was a decent saving (£15) but not huge so will still buy anyway (though may choose to buy elsewhere just to spite Amazon!!)

Housemum · 22/11/2010 19:02

Can anyone work out what "time the last little piggy went home" is? It's in the Pc & video games category I think?

TheLogLady · 22/11/2010 19:04

Wii i reckon game or console?

GypsyMoth · 22/11/2010 19:05

TheLogLady · 22/11/2010 19:05

squashedfrogs · 22/11/2010 19:10

I got the chocolates - that's chocoholic SIL's pressie sorted.

TragicallyHip · 22/11/2010 19:14

I'm still in the queue for Nigella...what do you think my chances are? Grin

Umami · 22/11/2010 19:16

Well done on all the chocs! Mine did that for the NIgella, TH, 'in the queue, in the queue....' - I think if you don't get it straight away, you ain' got it! Grin

megapixels · 22/11/2010 19:20

Good price for the Nigella. Who in their right mind would pay £81 for that though?

TragicallyHip · 22/11/2010 19:20

Yeah just what I thought..damn! I did just have a look for the "gift set" on Amazon but twas no where to be seen, wanted to know what you would have got for £80

Oh well another day another deal Grin

Umami · 22/11/2010 19:45

It was Christmas, Domestic Goddess and Kitchen!

DirtyMartini · 22/11/2010 19:48

How much was the Nigella set in the deal?

9PM looks like there might be some sort of camera...

BumptiousandBustly · 22/11/2010 19:56

Help please, how do I find the actual deal? I am on the black friday page, but can't seem to see any deals. What am I doing wrong?

TragicallyHip · 22/11/2010 20:00

Oh cheers thanks! Probably can do without seeing as I have about 15 cookbooks as it is!

It was £15 in the deal

mummytoatribe · 22/11/2010 20:00

£50 Wii console.

Am in the queue so no chance!

mummytoatribe · 22/11/2010 20:01

Dammit! Really wanted one too :(

DirtyMartini · 22/11/2010 20:02

Aw, bastards! Bastards!

squashedfrogs · 22/11/2010 20:02

I'm in the queue for a wii too - won't be holding my breath! Grin

BumptiousandBustly · 22/11/2010 20:03

Please can someone explain to me how it all works?

Its now 8 and I can't see any new deals?
