Comments
May as well just remove the Samsung products from that list.
Well, it's about time we had some Spongebob discounts. This links to waterproof cameras though as do some of the others.
This is the problem with the Amazon sales is that they sell things so cheaply normally that the sale is pretty much trying to get rid of junk you wouldn't normally buy the rest of the year. It would be better if they just did select sales of things people actually wanted like sell 1,000 iPod Touches at half price or something. It would cost them some money but they'd make it up with the added traffic.
The links don't work properly. I clicked on the Nikon D3200 offer (with apparently a 2-lens kit) for under $500 -- which would be an amazing price -- and I end up with a full page of waterproof camera offers.....
Could be your typical Amazon bait-and-switch. (Thank goodness that site gives me a headache, so if I don't right away get to page I want, I simply leave).
Nah, it fits in with the rest of the cheap junk, and that's how Black Friday works: volume over margin.
It has a Seiki 50%u201D TV for $229.00 - That deal DOES NOT EXIST%u2026
TAKE IT DOWN !!!
You people are not seeing some of the deals, because they're time limited.
Maybe they haven't gone live yet, or maybe the deal that you were looking at is already done.
Calm down. The article says that the items will be on sale at various times during the week, not that they're necessarily on sale right this instant. (Supposed to be in response to Bwinski... Hit Reply instead of Quote. My bad.)
No, a lot of the links are in fact broken. I think they're supposed to point to search URLs for the various items, but there's a lot of duplicate links - for example, the first five all take you to the link for the first product in the list.
If there is a link, it is natural to presume that the deal is live at present, not in the past or in some possible future.
It would have been more honest to simply link to a generic 'please check back often; this is what's going on now' page, and have the list of deal items without hyperlinks, don't you think?

Some of the links in the article are obviously not correct.

You'll see the limited time deals there, which ones are active, which ones have expired and which ones are coming up.
I dunno, blackfriday.com offers links to every product being discounted on every store right now. The idea being that you’d bookmark it if you wanted it and come back to it when time appropriate rather than having to scramble to find that link, day-of, and miss a limited supply deal.
Might have been live at the time it was posted but no guarantee it'll be live when someone reads it.
If you plan on buying items from Amazon anyway like I do for my supplies, please consider buying through http://smile.amazon.com/. Amazon will donate a small part of your purchase (0.5%) to a charity worthy of your choice.
It's not a large sum from your purchase and doesn't cost you anything, it adds up with millions of daily transactions

Temporal bait and switch.
Lol, isn't all bait and switch temporal?
The links work for me now. Try again.
We’re actually after a 50-55” ourselves. We don’t give a flying frick about the interface because we’ll be plugging in an Apple TV and never touching anything but volume and power on the TV’s side of things.
There’s LG, Panasonic, Sanyo–we’ve trusted all of them in the past–we even have an old Ölevia that has really stood up to the test of time. It’s, oh… maybe ten years old now. Granted, I think they’re bankrupt now, but still. Refuse to buy Samsung and Sony. Vizio used to be a no-name but they’ve really stepped it up in quality recently, and then Westinghouse makes decent mid-range ones.
If you want a particularly thin one (depth-wise), I think LG does those best.
Panasonic Plasma, LED makes everything look like an episode of Yo Gabba Gabba.
