Amazon Black Friday Deals Week 2012 Discussion Thread :D

[milk]

Starts today at 8 AM

Toys start at 10:45 AM :)

they'll be there at midnight

looks like a late night tonight then.

Yes! I missed the light wand which I was waiting for, so was on the waiting list and I got it :) and DH will be very happy I got Victoria Pendleton's book.

Do the Strongest Offers change every day please? Novice here !

I think the deals were fairly underwhelming TBH!

I admit I didnt look at any where near all of them, but I cant get excited about a 22% reduction.

I got a great 50% off deal on a toy for DS last year, so I had high hopes, ah well, I'll keep looking.

Well I got the light wand and keep looking at things I don't want or need. Last year I bought the tassimo coffee thingy and its fabulous.

I am waiting to see what the HiFi system goes for and the Zumba Wii.

WTF is a light wand?

I love Black Friday. Last year I picked up a couple of things, including anti-virus software; pretty dullsville, but something I needed and at a massive discount.

I have my eye on the men's running jackets coming up shortly, for DH's Christmas present, but they are megabucks, so I don't think a small discount will cut it.

I'm not buying from them again until they start paying tax.

Running jackets 58% off, but still £80.

Pah about the tax.

If the government was bothered, they would shut down the loopholes that allow tax avoidence to happen. And the reason they don't is because it would piss off too many of their rich friends. The whole system is corrupt. Just like every other country in the world.

Getting my knickers in a twist by refusing to spend £7.88 on Amazon isn't going to make one iota of difference to the way a massive company like Amazon does business.

And I'm not daft enough to cut off my nose to spite my face.

I got a bath bomb set; it will do for SIL2. Ummed and ahhed over the running shoes until I saw sense and accepted that as I get shin-splints I really do need to get some which are properly fitted.

Not bought anything yet but I am at the reviews for the bic pens!

I was hoping the kindle cases would be a little bit better than they were and missed out on the le creuset earlier .

Reporting it. Its only flipping Monday, but so far I have bought wellies for me and DS; pink sketchers (also for me!); and the Jillian Michaels DVD (um....also for me ). I'm supposed to be christmas shopping FFS. Need to be a bit stronger tomorrow or I will be very skint very soon!

I wanted the skechers but don't have much money until Thursday. Need to keep back as much as possible in case something good comes up!

The Sketchers are lush, aren't they, Tortoise - and actually a bargain, unlike alot of the stuff today . I'm very excited. But yeah, hoping things will improve as the week goes on, so also need to hold back a bit now.

Just got 6 week 6 pack DVD for £3.50, now all I've got to do is finish the shred and summon up the energy for this one!

Only 28% claimed so far so will they possibly be back on in the week? I can't remember from last year.
Annoyingly i have £200 in paypal but Amazon don't take it and transfer to bank takes 3 days. Will have money Thursday anyway so not worth transferring.

I bough the sketchers, need a good trainer to walk to work in, bargain.

Tortoise, paypal transfers are instant ow! I only found this out on Friday when I transferred some money and got an email saying it could take 2 hours, but when I checked my bank it was there.

Tortoise was also going to reply that PayPal transfers to bank account take 2 hours. Bloody lifesaver!

Interested in the UDraw thing coming up soon...

Im that amazon don't take paypal!

really? That's fab. Wish I had know earlier.
Off to sort it now!

Jus tooted this on Xmas thread
Wii udraw 11.99 on play.com

Don't buy on amazon if it's more.

Zavvi have the udraw for £10 iirc.
