So I’m looking at these Black Friday deals over here in the States. Honestly? It's a joke. Most of them are barely even discounts—like, maybe 10% off if you're lucky. And half the time, they’re just dumping stock on people that nobody actually wants to buy in the first place. I even stumbled upon a few "sales" where the fake "original" price was actually way higher than what they normally charge anyway. Just total nonsense.

I've seen "discounts" where the original price is crossed out, but the fake price is actually way higher than what it should be. Honestly, it's pathetic.

We're always ten to twenty years behind on everything, including these sales.

What's the deal with this one? And I guess, how does it even work without a heatsink? 🤷

I mean, I'm seeing maybe 80% 😁 of what you experts see... is it just marketing hype or 🤷

If that actually happens, I think the people working at Walmart will be the ones picking it up.

Honestly, you can't get anything done online, like, seriously nothing. It's kind of the same everywhere in the US—the prep work and the execution are just zero. God forbid you show up in the morning, browse their discount list, grab what you want, and expect it to arrive in a few days... yeah, there's just no way.🙄

Isn't that basically how it works with an Amazon gift card?

Zachary Nguyen2 said:I guess it's not worth it for the shipping fee, right?

Well, it looks like it is, so I guess we should just leave him be.🙏 🙏

Zachary Nguyen2 said:Wait, isn't it the same thing for the local retail stores?

From what I can gather, you can actually check which specific store has certain items in stock. You just search for the item on the standard American online shop, and if it shows up there, it should be available for purchase. As for that Ryzen chip, I think I saw someone mention on Newegg that they have three units left at that price.

Give me an R7 1800X for a decent price, people! It’s basically a pipe dream at this point. Every single year, it's the exact same story with their Black Friday sales—it's all just empty hype. Everyone drops the Links, companies run massive ad campaigns, but let's be real: nobody actually manages to snag anything during those big promotions.

Check out this absolute steal:

GTX 1060 3GB $150.
GTX 1060 6GB Two hundred bucks.
GTX 1070 8GB Three hundred bucks.

Shipping to the US is only $15, and they handle all the import taxes themselves—so you won't get hit with those extra customs fees like you sometimes do on Amazon.

Got an 860 EVO 500GB for $83 including shipping.

In my opinion, it’s not even worth the hassle since you can find it for just a few bucks more right here at home.

Around here, the cheapest $704 I can find is located
Downtown. $553 It’s sitting at $230, which basically means

Honestly, it's a pretty sweet deal if you've got someone heading over to Germany who can grab it for you. $150 No real

It's sitting at $250 there, so $553.
Pretty sweet deal if you know someone traveling through Germany.
$150 differences.

There you go, cheaper, and you don't need a connection in Germany.

Here’s an actual deal for you:

GTX 1060 3gb - $160
GTX 1060 6gb - $215
GTX 1070 8gb - $325

Shipping to the US is $15, plus you have to handle the local sales tax; unlike Amazon where it's usually handled upfront.

I don't see those prices on the link... did you just make them up?

analogtiger19 said:Look, it's cheaper this way and you don't have to deal with anyone over in Germany.😬

*edit - just realized that one on Amazon is the 4GB version while the one on Newegg is actually 8GB
When are we finally gonna get deals like this here in the States? 😁

Those were the prices yesterday, anyway.😵
