Hello everyone! As we all know, today is Black Friday! The day when many items are "discounted". I don't think anyone has made such a thread for this, so I apologize in advance if such a thread already exists. To start things off, I think I will go to eBay and purchase some nicely discounted test equipment. Hell, I already have! A very nice Tek 314. Looks like JLCPCB also have some black Friday coupons so might as well order some stuff from there for my projects. But I'm going to stay away from Amazon because as a lot of us know... they're not really discounted. Most of them are discount floofed. |

On my way home from the swimming pool I went into an electronics store because I needed network switch, noticed the line in front of the cassiers (which are super slow in that particular store anyway), turned around, went home and ordered the switch online. |

I browsed around on a Dutch IT site for deals.. they have automated product lists with "actual" discounts (e.g. it tracks price hikes in the months before). But honestly, most deals on there are average at best. 10% or 20% off on random product X? Sure.. I'm not denying discounts are bad, but honestly its not going to trigger an impulsive buy from me as I feel such "discounts" can be had on any other day of the year. And besides, for tech stuff, if you wait long enough it will eventually bottom out anyhow! I'm actually feeling fairly optimistic that I can score as good of a deal in January instead, as that are usually the slowest few months of the whole year for many shops. |

So I went to aliexpress to get a 7-segment LED voltmeter module and some solder wick braid and ended up ordering a small bench-top drilling machine for PCBs, a CO2 sensor module, some miniature AC/DC PSU modules and, somehow, a digital laser tachometer which I always wanted but never really needed. I should probably add the following to /etc/hosts: 127.0.0.1 www.aliexpress.com |

I was thinking of getting an OLED TV, but looking at pricing history for the one I was interested in... it's no cheaper than it was, just raised by £200 the month before and dropped again. So I'll wait, no rush. |
