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

There's a very good deal for a dvd on Amazon Black Friday at the moment. Gone in Sixty Seconds.

Very good BigWelt!

They keep adding new things. I forgot that Guitar Hero was at 1pm, but the Le Creuset stuff is back on again now.

Erm I have 3 things in my basket, DJ turntable for the Wii, Creative Zen and Le Creuset Dish. I really don't need these things (do want the Le Creuset tho) I've just gone a clicking frenzy

I think I need help Grin

Umami · 24/11/2010 13:36

I think all the Guitar Hero ones were at 1pm. But things are appearing, so wouldn't be surprised if they're disappearing too.

TragicallyHip · 24/11/2010 13:38

Yep they were on at 1pm, only a fiver off tho

TragicallyHip · 24/11/2010 13:39

Oh actually not for the X box

TrillianAstra · 24/11/2010 13:41

I am in the queue for diamond earring that I don't particularly want...

Try play.com for xbox games.

ChickensHaveNoMercyForTurkeys · 24/11/2010 13:42

I was watching the guitar hero xbox one. Only a fiver off, so didn't bother.

PuraVida · 24/11/2010 13:44

what do you guys think of these earrings? is it really a good price? i love the idea of having real diamonds but it's an indulgence and if that £300 or whatever price is hugely inflated i might ditch them, but if it really is a huge bargain i'd be made not to, right? right? eeek £112 on myself?

Sherbert37 · 24/11/2010 13:48

Anyone know how much the shallow 26" Le Creuset dish was / will be?

Sherbert37 · 24/11/2010 13:51

Oh it's gone now. Strange. Also, the bikes - any idea?

TragicallyHip · 24/11/2010 14:00

It was on at 1.30pm and £52 Sherbert37

Sherbert37 · 24/11/2010 14:27

Thanks. Need to keep up!

Sherbert37 · 24/11/2010 14:32

Well have cracked it - you need 2 windows open. The first just goes round and round but I got it from the second immediately. Happened last time with Guitar Hero (which I put back). Will show DS2 the bike after school and hope he likes it - then work out how to build it!

Umami · 24/11/2010 15:06

I've tried multiple windows - I think it just depends on the popularity of the item. And luck.

'Mangroomer do-it-yourself electric back hair shaver' Shock

Oh blee.

mummytoatribe · 24/11/2010 15:15

DIY back hair shaver anyone?! Or a ladies heart shaped pendant watch, on a chain that will no doubt leave you with a nice green mark around your neck!

They are beginning to scrape the bottom of the barrel now! I did look at the netbook they had yesterday and the reviews all said it was crap so no wonder they were trying to get rid!

Cant stop myself from looking though.....!

mummytoatribe · 24/11/2010 15:16

Xpost Umami! Nice to know I am not the only one quietly vomming!

MassiveKnob · 24/11/2010 15:42

when they do the offer for xbox 360 dj hero 2, you can get it in tesco direct for £49 and it was dearer on the black friday deal (around 53) i think, so worth checking out the prices whilst you are waiting.

MassiveKnob · 24/11/2010 15:46

the king of shaves stuff was reduced only by 50 pence, how exciting.... mind you it was only 3.99 in the first place, so i think they are just filling time.

crazybutterflylady · 24/11/2010 15:55

ooh what crap delights should we bid for at 4pm??

Umami · 24/11/2010 16:03

Almost forgot the Lego! Got there with 2 seconds to spare, but failed.
