QOTW: What did you buy on Black Friday 2018?

[DaMoot]

A new 4K, 3D passthrough, Dolby Atmos A/V receiver.

For $400 off original price, I might add!

[spacein_vader]

Nothing.

There was nothing I was specifically after, and most of the "deals" I saw were very ho-hum, yawn.

The one or two that were so good I might have jumped despite not intending to buy were gone by the time I saw them .... or were never real, but were bait 'n' switch come-ons.

In any event, the net result was nothing.

No raspberry pi deals to build redundant Pi-Hole DNS machines?

[philehidiot]

I bought a brand new combine harvester.

I keep losing the key so I bought a few.

A hot water dispenser...

What? It's tech I tell thee

Noooooooooo - boils a cup of water at a time.... instead of a kettle lol

[Ozaron]

Nothing, but I'm considering picking up a better MicroSD for my phone. Still on offer.

2x crucial SSD's 1tb+512gb and 2 roku 4661's for $99 About all I needed I guess. Already bought the PC crap eariler (8700k, 1070ti, board, mem etc way earlier this year). Christmas came pretty early this year I guess..LOL. Black Friday was kind of a dud for me I guess. Vizio 5.1.2 soundbar ($299 deal from costco) also, but again that was just a normal costco ad, not really black friday. Still on the way, but not BF. Oh and an 8TB seagate also from costco (LOL, love that place), but again, just drove and picked it up last week, not really BF. I don't order drives anymore ONLINE (beat the crap out of them). Since I stopped doing that my drives last for a decade in externals. I have 3TB externals from 2007 with <400hrs on them. Almost bought an echo, but decided against having a spy in my home...ROFL. I still might get the dot3 just for kicks, but I doubt it will be on much when anyone is talking. $25, who cares how much I use it...LOL. Weather and news maybe in the morning while eating or something, about it, then off for the day. It's a toy at best, for giggles. Maybe more uses with all the apps they have now once explored. But I hate bezos.

N O T H I N G

I know, even I do not believe, but nothing...

[ik9000]

Me neither! Work was crazy. Didn't have time!

Was abotu to pull the trigger on a ton of LEGO, then I saw they are releasing new BLUE VELOCIRAPTORS in the next wave of the Lego Movie 2 so I got to save for those.

[deejayburnout]

I bought a Gen 2 Echo dot for £20 and immediately got in trouble for it as i believe my wife bought me one for Xmas.

[davesom555]

I felt like I got some good deals...

Samsung 27" 144mhz QHD (Freesync 2) monitor for £399
RX Vega 56 Pulse for £299
Samsung 970 Evo 500gb m2 nvme for £83 (or £86?)

These were deals before black Friday though... On the day it was just junk or amazon devices (junk too?)

[Phrontis]

A Milwaukee 16G angle nail gun. :-))

I got a Philips Hue starter kit, and some Hue bulbs on a separate order... I've received the bulbs but the starter kit is on backorder potentially until mid-January, which is frustrating!
