rOtring 800 is down to $20. Lost mine a couple weeks ago and was really bummed.
Where? I found it listed on the rOtring site (https://www.rotring.com/pens-pencils/pencils/rotring-800/SAP...), but they don't clearly give any option to buy that I can see.
For those of us old enough to remember when holiday sales really did start on the day after Thanksgiving, in my area, most of the shops started their Black Friday sales on Monday. If you waited until today, you missed out on a lot.
Many things only dropped today. At least in Canada
Bought myself a Razer Core X (Thunderbolt 3 eGPU enclosure) for CAD$109.99 a few days ago. Was a discount of 71% off from an original price of CAD$389.99. Not sure if the US site reflects the same kinds of savings. https://www.razer.com/ca-en/gaming-egpus/Razer-Core-X/RC21-0...
What's the use case for a device like this? E: Thanks for all the replies. I have a XPS 15 that was, maybe 5 years ago occasionally reliable for playing Doom 2014 at 1080p for half an hour before the gpu would shut itself down, maybe I could have benefited from one of these + a desktop GPU...
The GPU equivalent of an external hard drive.
Someone compiled a big list of deals on apps, SaaS software, utilities, books, courses, etc and seems to be taking PRs: https://github.com/trungdq88/Awesome-Black-Friday-Cyber-Mond...
I wonder if marketers ever think about how black friday sales annoy customers.
PragProg has 40% off with a potential additional 30% off on a future purchase. The coupon code is on their blog.

AMD slashed the price of the Ryzen 9 series CPUs this week. A 7950X now goes for $550, down from $700. That said I'm not sure if this is a Black Friday deal or a permanent reduction to be price-competitive with Intel Raptor Lake.
Companies release products 6-12 months in advance. On the day of their release they are at their most valuable. Every day that goes by they slowly lose a little bit of desirability. For practicality, and human marketing reasons, companies do not adjust their prices every day to reflect the reduction in demand. Instead they gather all the erosion into one big clump and release it in a frenzy on Black Friday.
So are there "deals" on Black Friday? Not really, in the sense that you are buying a product that is of truly lower value. At the same time, many people don't care about the newness of various products, so are happy to trade that time for money in their pocket. In short, Black Friday is about segmentation than it is "deals". It's a way to charge the most eager top dollar at the beginning of the curve, while also cashing in later with the rest at the end of the product lifecycle.
Thank you.
