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?!

I think it's free postage on everything maryz. You certainly would've got Shameless free. This is getting strangely addictive, I will be on again tomorrow lol.

Ah okay, I didn't realise you were across the water!

I will see you here tomorrow maryz, I want to see if I can pick up some more Christmas presents!

Right. I'm going for the Mozart box set in 5 minutes. FIL would love that. Hope you lot are all still tucked up in bed!

Hmmm. No Mozart, but clicked on toothbrush just to see and got that. I don't really want another electric toothbrush, do I?

Seems no-one wants the Mozart. It's still 100% unclaimed

I just clicked on the mozart and got, have another go Umami

got it rather

Ah, no, did get Mozart, but not as bargainous as I'd hoped.

Oh right that's a shame!

Considering the Life Blu rays for DH as we're buying each other a blu ray player for xmas

Now have Stieg Larsson trilogy as well! I'm running out of people who need presents.

Any luck with Life, Blatherskite?

There really aren't many very good bargains now, I'm expecting a rush of decent savings on Friday to mark the last day. As yet, I can't see anything I want today.

I got it but in a roundabout way.

Opened one Amazon screen and pressed "add to basket" as soon as it arrived - got "waiting in queue"

Got bored and opened another Amazon screen to see how many were left. Pressed "add to basket" and went straight to check out!!!

If I'd have only had the one screen open, I bet I'd still be waiting in the queue while they all disappeared!

Yes, I've had to do that. Don't get the 'waiting in queue' thing.

Lots of jewellery and perfume today. I might have a little looksie at Guitar Hero later though!

do you put the item in your basket BEFORE the time kicks off? Or would you pay the full price then?

You would pay the full price if you bought it before. You have to wait for it to go on sale via the Black Friday page to get the bargain.

thought so. thanks. Been laughing at the forum posts at the bottom of the black friday page. the arguments are worse than mumsnet at times!

have you lot seen this

That's very interesting LogLady! There's a few bits and pieces on there I'd definitely be interested in!

I just managed to get Just Dance and some phones. I don't think I want either damn me and my competitiveness!!!

I got the Creative Zen..don't want it either really. Just clicked on it after the item I wanted sold out..

We are slaves to the machine!
