Black-er Friday

[nehalemguy]

My Black Friday mood is rather ....dark.

Gun deals.........probably not considering what's going on.
Ammo..........meh.
Magazines.........blew that budget last week.

Any deals to really get excited about?

I've never understood the term 'Black Friday'...

If we all want a 'White Christmas' shouldn't it be 'White Friday'?

Might try MDT Tactical. They have good deals on chassis's and such. Usually a lot lower than their usual price.

Watching PSA and various other companies over the last 2-3 months, most of their slashed prices are exactly what they cost 2-3 months ago. Ive seen some good deals, but a lot of the sales Im seeing are fairly common.. no real deep cut sales

Yup. For any bigger ticket item I'm seriously interested in it's always good to start tracking availability and pricing a good couple months in advance of the holiday sales. It's pretty common to see those price hikes so they can offer a holiday 'deal'.

Beware though that the 'deal' price may still be more than the year round price.

Like in the OP.. Sept. $499.99, hold, October $499.99, hold, Nov. $699.99, wtf??, Black friday $699.99 $549.99, NOW! (After Christmas special savings $699.99 $549.99 $499.99!)

Someone I used to work with described the " special event " pricing when the local Toyota dealership hauled inventory over to the fairgrounds.

Mark everything up a few grand so customers could haggle them back down. Lol

Hmmm... That's a real thing??

I always thought that was just something my ex used to say. Go figure!

Yeah I typically shop sales year round. I don't wait till black friday, unless I am feeling spunky then I just head to Walmart and trample people over and fist fight over a $150 TV.

Already spent like a drunken sailor
This years deals opened up early.

Mags and more mags.
Three kegs of powder
A new set of tires for the truck
Picking up rims tomorrow
and an AC/DC Arc welder next week.

.........and an AC/DC Arc welder next week.

I had to re-read that because my first mental image and your words were not syncing up.

It's been said to be the day that businesses went from a net loss to a net profit for the year. So they moved from being "in the red" to "in the black". Hence "Black Friday". At least that's what I'd always heard...
