I need to know if Black Friday deals and Cyber Monday deals are consistent through Friday-Monday the entire weekend, or are there bigger price drops on Monday than on the rest of the weekend?

To sum it all up, should i wait until Monday to buy computer parts, or are they just going to have the same deals as the rest of the weekend?

This whole blending of week long Black Friday deals and Cyber Monday deals is really becoming a clusterfudge. :sweat:
 
Solution


Exactly, yes. Over the last few years, there is nothing special...


Prices are up and down consistent from 1 Nov through 15 Jan. Take your pick.
 


So your saying the deals will linger around the same prices for the next 2 months?
That's not what i expected at all, thanks for the reply.
 


Exactly, yes. Over the last few years, there is nothing special about BlackFriday or CyberMonday.
It started out as a concept, then exploded into a media advertisement, then the sheeple stormed the stores. To the point of people actually dying over some crappy TV that was outdated last year.

If you had been watching prices and point sales....you could find any particular part as cheap a month ago, or even 2 months ago, or last week.

Will your particular parts be cheaper next week (Monday?) who knows?

Hype for Black Friday
Hype about CyberMonday.

Then lingering into pre-Christmas
Then post-Christmas
Eventually slowing down around mid-January.

For your specific part list, there is no best day, other than the day when it is available, at a price you want to pay for it.
For a particular part...I've seen a better price in August, vs Black Friday or Cyber Monday. The exact same part.
 
Solution


Hmm, interesting. Thanks for the bit of knowledge.
 
'CyberMonday' became a 'thing' several years ago, when people had a better internet connection at work over what they had at home. So they shopped online from work.
The retailiers (Amazon, etc) noticed a sales bump on the Monday after everyone came back from the Thanksgiving holiday.
The news idiots picked up on it, and now it is 'a thing'.
Circular feeding frenzy.
