What are you buying on Cyber Monday


I’m currently not planning on buying anything. It seems to me that the deals aren’t great anymore and can be had later in the month if you want them.

Nothing. Cyber Monday like Black Friday is nothing more than Marketing without any actual price cutting or value add.

I was hoping to buy a new GPU, but stock levels still haven't recovered, at least in Canada. I'm not going to pay $1000+ for an RX 6800. I guess I will be waiting until December when the 7900 series releases and see how stock looks then.

I agree. The concept of "black friday" is not the same anymore and most of the best deals can be found on the days prior to the actual date. For example, NordVPN is running a discount offer (in fact, VPN services run discounts most of the year but whatever) for a 63% discount. A week ago, they already had a "black friday special offer" for a 68% discount. So, probably check those offers before the actual day.

Related: the German version of bookdepository has a feature that show the lowest price of the last 30 days. Probably has to do with some German legislation, but it's awesome
