Bloody Amazon Black Friday!

[QuizteamBleakley]

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?!

If you get something, can you still cancel if you change your mind? Or is there some kind of special Black Friday binding thing? I'm a bit worried I may try to buy something I don't really want!

Jareth - you're right, it is too much, even for Dr lurve House. But I would have liked the opportunity to decide it was too much

Tainted, I think you have until 23:59 to complete your shopping, so you can take it out of your basket.

Better double check though.

Good luck for 9:00 everyone :)

Ho hum. I prefer my own camera to that one; was hoping for a camcorder.

hmmm i am in a queue but i don't need a new camera. how do i un-queue myself?
or if i get it does anyone want it?

I got the camera...

I clicked on the camera but before I got it I decided I didn't want it anyway, so was actually rather pleased to not get it! I'm guessing it's all just random selection isn't it?

didn't get it anyway. looking forward to tomorrow

Well that's 1 hour of my life wasted queueing for a Wii that I didn't get as the deal expired! Hey, ho...

I got a camera so another Christmas present sorted.

It is evil and clever, this promotion, because despite not winning anything I am now browsing the whole site and feeling acquisitive.

When is the next deal? 10pm?

Erm, I'm still in the queue for the camera. Have I broke amazon? It's still counting down and the 'in the queue' bit is spinning, but I'm not going anywhere.

Um...not meaning to piss on your party, and apologies if you've already heard about this, but Amazon is in my bad books at the moment because of http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/amazon/8124947/Amazon-stirs-up-controversy-with-sale-of-paedophile-guide.html this

Apparently they've removed the monstrosity from their website, but only after a storm of international protest.

The cretins.

Oops, sorry, link again

Next deal on at 9am. Each day is 9am to 9pm.

If you're still in the queue it will most likely mean you haven't got it

Oh, arse. Never mind, the MIL will have to have an M&S voucher and like it.

Today I must waste hours of my life trying to buy some diamonds, a nice black pot, a printer and something mysterious and electronic for the bedroom at 2pm. not that i need or want any of them but i must.

Looks like the ASA will be looking into Amazon and the Black Friday deals! here

I can't stop looking either TLL, it's addictive, which I suspect may have been the point....

I have got a couple of things though, so it hasn't been entirely a waste of time for me.

I just clicked on some Lego, literally as it counted down to zero and it was sold out!

forget amazon make yourself a hot chocolate with cream and marshmellows and head off to bed

I'm hovering over the Valentino Aftershave for DP's christmas pressie.....dont even know what it smells like

I clicked the very second it said 'add to basket' and it's sold out!
