Default Black Friday. Good opportunity or crock of ****?
I can't decide.

Seems a massively overcooked scheme to me and I frankly can't be arsed with trawling through bucket loads of crap to find the one bargain worth having.

However, when decent businesses give blanket discounts, then I'm more inclined to pay attention.

So, on that note I give you the Banstead Stig Black Friday gift/intel...

12% off at Car Care Products | Detailing Products | UK - Clean Your Car with code BF12.

It was emailed to me this morning.

Enjoy!

I'm in the same camp, can't decide if its a good thing or just overly commercial yank marketing buzz.

I've never gone to any big stores on sale day, the pictures of queues and brawls is enough to put me off. But if there's a good deal to be had online, I guess it can't be a bad thing.

Do you think enginetuner are having a Black Friday sale on built 2.1 strokers?

yet another "americanism" that i'm not sure isn't just the same as the never ending SCS sales or whatever.............

we do it differently in simply offering year round advantageous pricing and good service............

I am taking advantage of it, as an item (that I cannot disclose publicly due to other family members being on the forum) has been marked down £70 on a price that was already £60 less than the Argos price.
Other retailers are asking £140 more which is an 88% mark-up.

Oh wow... I presume they had quite a few orders, that's a long time though, think I had 4-6 weeks to wait.
