    Black Friday 2018

    Love it or loath it Black Friday is now a thing here in the UK. So what’s everyone looking out for this year?

    Loads this year! Unfortunately no watches but we need some gadgets and some other bits and pieces...
    Shark cordless hoover
    Barbour coats his n hers
    New glasses for the Mrs
    Xmas presents for our little monsters
    Roll cab toolbox
    Lawnmower

    Think that’s about it lol

    If I was able to have a watch this time around I’d almost certainly be looking at a tag Monaco

    £115 worth of car repair parts - wheel bearing, front pads & pins, 20 litres of 10w40 oil
    plus some bits for the house = £150 in total

    Roll on the Ebay discount codes. 10% would be nice.

    Toying with the idea of a Dyson handheld for the car.
    Although I will probably use it once or twice then put it away and never use it again!

    I’d recommend it, got v6 last year for 100 quid. Battery doesn’t last that long, about 15 mins but it’s small and light so is perfect for the job and enough running time. Previously had to take out big hoover to do the car and never ended up cleaning it.

    Unfortunately American consumerism is upon us with so much crap being offered, I try to take advantage and just push back necessary purchases until Black Friday / Boxing Day sales, but it’s very easy to get sucked in!

    What are the chances of there being anything half decent in BF sales? If they're like any other sales days it tends to be stuff they can't otherwise shift.

    Remember: It's only a saving if you were going to buy it before any 'sale'!

    Nothing.

    I hate the whole thing.

    Just an excuse to move a lot of stuff that’s hard normally sell.

    Cordless power drill would be nice.

    My wife just picked up 4 water features and statues from her workplace, that is having a closing down sale - 70% off. Better than Black Friday but what do we with that lot???

    I got an LG television last year at a great price. I had been looking for ages to replace a functioning (just) 10+ year old one. It wasn't an impulse purchase!

    Last year's BF - on Amazon, I picked up a top class Bosch (18v hammer action) with case and dual battery pack. It was half price and a brilliant bit of kit.

    Its this one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bosch-Cordl...ss+screwdriver

    Down to £49.95 on BF and was WELL worth it.

    As cameliser users already now most black friday deals have been cheaper during the rest of the year.

    Not been sucked in for the last 2 years.

    Do watch stores tend to take part in Black Friday by having extra deals? I'm in the market for a diver but not sure if I should wait or not...

    I bought a v6 for exactly the same reason.

    Arrived yesterday and car is nice and tidy inside now.

    Yes, you can use your home hoover, but I never did!

    Yes, do you get much discount on watches?

    They did last year. I bought a nicely discounted Omega de Ville from Beaverbrooks online and then got a short email 24 hours later to say they didn't actually have any stock and had refunded me...………..

    I am holding out for 50% off an Omega Speedmaster.

    12% off at Jura via quoted code on website. Some very tempting offers on Grand Seiko, can I resist?
