Any news of black friday deals from anywhere yet?

Also is there a decent monitor I can use for now until I can save for a pretty good one... I'll probably end up using the one I'm getting as a vertical secondary later. Nothing too gg just decent enough for like league and YouTube and movies and stuff. Cheaper the better

Thx fam

Ok, I guess it's time once again for this post.


If you watch the prices of pretty much anything, they tend to rise slowly, in the weeks before Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
Then when those days arrive, they lower the prices back to ...normal. So the sales aren't really sales.

The true time for true savings, is somewhere around February, when the stores and etailers have to somehow get rid of all the excess stock they pulled in...FOR the holidays.
Very few companies have the sheer space to contain that excess stock for very long. So, it goes on sale, at seriously good prices.

Other than this...the only other true sales are like those found at sites like slickdeals or massdrop...etc. These pretty much happen all year long.

Well nothing really changes, whether I wait til then or February to buy a bunch of crap i don't need, by the time february rolls along inflation has had its way with the difference.

What I'm saying is what I said. The only real sales are in February and on sites that only deal with sales, like slickdeals or massdrop.

There are many deals/sales on many items from furniture,tvs,games,toys
The rising price thing is not as bad as you make
Msrp is still the same though just the merchant/store pricing goes up

Usually what happens is many peeps here don't need the good deals

Pick a product.

A commonly purchased one. Say the Samsung 850 250GB SSD. Watch the price from now to Feb 30th.

Aside from things like slickdeals and massdrop...I think you'll find...February is the time to buy.
