Interesting, sir.

I'm just trying not to be left out on the curb and end up spending 1K, and then everyone else is like Oh didn't you see the amazing deals, I just got a sweet-ass desktop with an i7, 16g of RAM, 2 TB hard drive, free 27" IPS LED monitor and I spent 100 dollars total. Oh, you missed that? Sucks for you. Lol.

Dell has a couple 20% off not great
Amazon best bet for savings plus everything free shipping
Best buy has a few that are 150 off but not very powerfull is it gaming your looking for?

I totally agree with the OP on this. Was looking for deals on a variety of different things... 20% off is a deal? I wrote down a few prices about 3 weeks ago on select items.... if anything... 5-8% was knocked off. That's savings? That makes a consumer run up a credit crd?

As a consumer... you still have to do your homework. Write model numbers down... check different websites... some are free shipping... some are tax free.

I haven't purchased one item yet for anyone.... I didn't see anything outrageously special... to JUMP ON IT.

Consumers are stupid. Can't believe people wait in line... buy meaningless sh#$ and act like they got an amazing deal on it?

Capy... I'm not a huge fan on DELL but they might have a deal.... and also HP. Usually the lowest when it comes to computers.

Thanks, guys.

Harry, no, not a gamer, but I do want a reasonably powerful machine just because why not? You never know how much multi-tasking you may be doing, so the faster the processor, the better, and the more RAM to handle the tasks the better, right? Why not? I'm also not a big "changer" -- once I own something I own it for a LONG-ASS time, lol. I'm writing to you now on my WORK laptop because my HOME desktop is a Dell from 2006 believe it or not which is now coughing up blood and on life support. Served me fine but is toast now.

So while I don't need a crazy-awesome machine, I'd like something solid. Like Best Buy had some doorbuster deal I guess that I missed out on that seemed good because it was an HP with an i5 I wanna say, with good stats, AND it came with a free 24" monitor and the whole thing was like 599. But missed out on that.

There is a Micro Center not far from where I live. Was gonna buy there before I started thinking about Black-Cyber-Friday-Monday BS. Maybe they have special deals too.

black friday cyber monday for sheep

people are buying just for sake of buying not even getting that great deals

Figure out what you want - go to ebay to get the best deal - PERIOD

Only buy from sellers with high ratings, you CANNOT go wrong - better CS than any brick and mortar retailer.

Amazon was pretty solid today. had firestick and fire tab for 30 bux. perfect for a few xmas gifts. they had a 50 in. tv for $145, but only the early birds got that. if u don't mind a grade a refurb pc with decent stats go to tanga.com.
