I was looking at the Fire and the Huawei MediaPad T3 10, both about the same price. The Huawei seems to have a better spec and isnt limited by the Amazon operating system... but Huawei and this Google thing is staying my hand. Still would like something cheaper.

Managed to pick up a T5 with 64gb and 4gb storage for £124. Feels like a great deal to me!

One of my friends at Amazon told me that 10% of their annual revenue is made on Black Friday. Geez, that is insane

Probably true. A guy at work has bought a TV on there every Black Friday for 3 years running. He's spent close to £10K on tv's in the past 4 years.

Nintendo Switch with one top game for £249.99 or two top games for £279.99 would be perfect.

I'll remove the post to avoid disappointment. There was stock when I posted it though. I was going to get one myself but decided against it in the end as I knew it would just end up in a drawer and never get used as I already have an xbox elite pad.

Wasn't a complaint about your post

I was too slow!

Yeah I saw that this morning. Don't really fancy signing up to credit however just to get a switch

I think you can simply pay it all off at once straight after. I bought my Note 8 from them on a buy now pay later scheme and it was a breeze, their website is (or at least was) a bit clunky though.

Yeah you can but you've still got to take out another line of credit and get a check etc. Just not worth having the hit on file just for a £50 saving imo.

Yeah fair enough

. Eyeing up this deal for my sister-in-law first and then myself (pending what we want to use our John Lewis vouchers for)

Black Friday has very quickly become a farce in the UK over the ~5 years of it taking off over here, not only do "Black Friday" deals start as early as the start of November when the actual BF is tomorrow, but prices on many items go up compared to sale prices a few months previous because stores now "profitise" off the BF hype where so many people think it's the best time to buy.

Agree, apparently they actually take credit card/paypal payments now, but even so still require setting you up with a credit agreement. Don't use Very myself for this reason.

Martynt74 · 28 Nov 2019 at 09:06

@Snookums / @HungryHippos

Is there a reason you dislike credit? £50 for about 5 minutes effort is well worth it to me. Maybe i'm just cheap

Will Gill · 28 Nov 2019 at 09:09

any decent deals on 30w+ usb-c battery brick thingie to charge my macbook?

deuse · 28 Nov 2019 at 09:27

I got the Zemismart Smartthings Control Z-wave track\motor for £130 in the end.
That's me happy

I’m hoping one of the Arab airlines will have a sale. I am looking for business class flights to Bali in April but they’re all rather expensive at the moment for the dates I need.
