Black Friday Central

@Silver / @Rob Fisher - Think I know the answer, but are we allowed to post Black Friday Specials that non supporting vendors have?

No hard rules about that @baksteen8168 , if your post can help others then why not
Hopefully the vendor concerned can consider becoming part of and supporting this forum down the line
 
I’m on the lookout for an iPad Air, anyone have any hot tips?

Only hot tip I have is stay as far away of Takelot as possible. I have never done the takelot thing or the black friday thing, but this year Im looking for playstation for my son.
So Playstation SA announced their deals about a week ago. These deals you can get at any place that sell playstations, I guess Playstation SA supply it cheaper for black friday. Makro, Toys r us, CNA, Game etc etc everyone same specials.
So Spiderman game is R299 (black friday)
But wait Takelot has it at 44% discount R499:eek:(the 499 is after the 44% discount)

Also Ps4 1tb console with fifa 20 black friday R5999, announced by playstation SA
Takelot black friday Blue dot sale R6499:eek:
 
I have succumbed to Black Friday... Blckvapour's special of 20% off is applicable to items which were previously on sale as well, e.g. CAP Vanilla Custard V1, R19 for 10ml, minus 20% makes it R15.20. Could not resist that.
 
Do vape shops also inflate prices before black friday to cover discounts? Wanted to buy something from a wellknown vendor. They have a % off all purchases for black friday. I never bought from this vendor so dont know their prices. The item is R90 but Sir Vape sell it for 55( normal price, no special). So was wondering if this Vendor is just expensive or if its just temp inflated prices.

I agree with you. This is not only the case with vaping vendors. I was looking at BidorBuy today and there are several similar cases to what you described. I guess what some vendors do is they choose a recommended retail price and "discount" it from there.

I guess it boils down to doing research before you buy. I saw items on Black Friday which are more expensive than other vendors charge any time of the year.
 
Basics of shopping on sales period is to know the usual retail prices for what you want. So shop around different retailers 2 or 3 weeks ahead. In other countries no products are allowed to be put on sale unless they have sat on the shelves for at least a month before the sales period kicks off allowing the customers to have an idea about the original prices and to prevent retailers from selling low quality goods brought specifically for the sales period.
 
Well, at 6am some chop decided to try do a U-turn at the intersection by my house. Not usually a big deal, but this champ was driving a truck full of castle lager bottles (don't worry they weren't filled yet). Needless to say he tipped his load. They took around 8 hours to clean the mess up and I couldn't get out to do any kind of shopping.

This photo does no justice at all. But it's all I took.

Eventually managed to pick up some DIY liquids at Blck. And honestly, I'm a bit thankful that I didn't spend much today.

Damn , imagine those bottles full . You would'nt need to buy beer for a year and the run off would have been good for the garden ,
not even brown grass in winter and big happy flowers !;)
 
This has to be the worst BF ever. So called specials was a joke. Not just vape related but Makro/Game/etc as well as the gigantic f up at takealot
 
Yoh theee worst BF, needed a fridge there were hardly any, needed a new washing machine, also nada, mostly good deals on clothing and tvs which I was having none of.

I'm a slam-owe man so in my case, the redbul and a father of 3 so the biggest party I throw is in my bathroom, blowing clouds after a triple s, eish.
 
Didn't buy any Vape related stuff on Black Friday. Picked up all my juices during the week from the shops running Black week specials
