Anon Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 It's ********. A scam invented by marketers to induce poor people to smack the **** out of each other to get their hands on crap no one needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BathRam72 Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 If you had the chance to visit certain places like the NAVEX (US Navy Exchange) or B-EX (US Air force Base Exchange) at thanks giving, then you could really bag yourself a bargain over most products. In this country it is usually a loss leader where only a couple of bargains to be had (first come first served) or they are just getting rid of stuff that they have an abundance of and can't sell.

"I actually bought this product when it was on sale. I can safely say it performs, looks and feels amazing. I make and put coffee in this in the morning. It takes me the morning to finish the coffee and this flask keeps to warm throughtout. A quality product." I've got a cheap, plastic one from Boots, had it years. I can put coffee in at 11.30 am, do my afternoon out, and what's left is still warm at 7 p.m. £120? They're 'avin' a laarf. Having said that, I did buy an extremely expensive DeLonghi Prima Donna bean-to-cup coffee maker on Black Friday a couple of years ago from John Lewis, at about 40% of List price, which actually went up £20 after the sale. Brilliant machine. Not only that, a few weeks later, as part of the deal, I received a stainless steel coffee bean holder, with a battery operated vacuum seal, for free. so not all bad.

GeneralRam Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Got to be careful with some of the main "deals". Manufacturers will make models specifically for Black Friday as a way of getting rid of old components. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
