I’ve learned my lesson. I bought a graphics card and a monitor a few weeks ago. They were the kinds of desirable purchases that were never going to get discounted on Black Friday.
If you happen to be in the US, better to make those sorts of purchases now before prices go up under tariffs.
Been watching a new GPU for the last week, waiting for my paycheck to come in
35% discount, steepest in it's history according to CCC, holds right until this morning, payday, now it's a 5% discount
Its not the usual scummy price shit but I'm def pissed off
May as well wait just a little longer..
If you have to wait until payday to buy a discounted graphics card...yeah, I'd say so.
Idk, I bought a 4k 240 hz oled monitor for $300 off for black Friday, the lowest price it's ever been. I think deals are still out there.
Deals are there, many are not worth the wait and the real (good) deals are often less desireable items.
At least from what i've seen myself.
But i always hope the more expensive stuff gets a discount so i can get something better than what i would've bought otherwise.
Right now there are a couple 4080 super's discounted but it's only like €80 difference for a model i would only buy if the difference was larger, so i almost ended up buying a non discounted 4080 super model.
So it was a 10% discount ? /s
I bought two hard drives when Trump got elected.
They're still the same price.
