[SOLVED] Are Early Black Friday Deals Worth It?

[Akilo101]

Hi,

First off I am relatively new to Black Friday shopping so I am looking for some seasoned veterans out there to share some of there wisdom and experience on the matter.

I was planning on waiting until Black Friday to buy all of the components I need at a discounted price, but as I'm sure you're aware, stores have been pushing out a lot of deals in these early November weeks. I have found a few components that are on sale such as the Corsair RM650 being marked from 109 to 85 (After a $15 mail in rebate) and that honestly seems pretty appealing. Do you guys think that deals like this are the best there will be, or should I wait until Black Friday to buy it with the rest of the components? Regardless of what I choose, I am not planning on buying all of the components before Black Friday, so the fact that I can get the parts not has no extra appeal.

In summary, will the Black Friday deals be better than the ones that are out currently, or should I hop on these deals because they might not reappear for Black Friday?

Thanks for your advice!

I think (in my opinion) the stuff would be cheaper on the ACTUAL black Friday but if you think the prices for the items you are getting now are amazing , you should get them

Newegg is guaranteeing many of their sale prices to be the lowest they'll offer this month or they refund the difference. Check the fine print on each day's flyer.

Really? Where did you see this? Do you have an example?

As said above, if you find something at a significant discount I'd go ahead and get it. If you're really worried about it going on sale even further, you could always refrain from opening it for a couple weeks such that you can return it if you eventually find it for less.

I wouldn't consider that PSU deal to be that great though. It sells for $90-$100 without any rebate on a semi regular basis. And Corsair seems to have MIR promotions fairly often. I hate MIRs though.

And then you find the exact same item for less on Dec 9, or Jan 4...
Or they run out of stock 4 days before BF...

Buy it when it is at a price you find acceptable.

Also, this Early BF from Newegg is just a short term thing to get you locked in to the Egg early. Runs out in 2 days.

There will be another, though.

Ehh, just another way for vendors to get rid of their cheap and not-so-popular stock.
Don't expect a deal on the good stuff.
