how was black friday 4 everyone?
 

was 'black friday' good for every1 or did you notice absolutely no difference at all?

Re: how was black friday 4 everyone?
 

No difference whatsoever, but now is when it'll start to pick up a good bit :)

Re: how was black friday 4 everyone?
 

not so much in the UK i guess? depends on the categories i suppose.

yeah same here, overhyped greatly imo

Re: how was black friday 4 everyone?
 

My slowest week for sales since November started!

And it's Black week now - it seemed to start on Monday.

My sales have been poor this Autumn/Winter compared to last year.

Re: how was black friday 4 everyone?
 

My sales went wayyyy up :)

Re: how was black friday 4 everyone?
 

Yes, very good opinion. You big buyer

Re: how was black friday 4 everyone?
 

sunday night most people who target xmas sales will see a drastic spike. today, tomorrow and sunDAY is all about box store sales

Re: how was black friday 4 everyone?
 

Haven't noticed any difference.

The traffic was terrible and I had to wait an extra 25 minutes for an over cooked egg and burnt sausage at Wetherspoons.:en:

Someone should of gone to jail for that atrocity!

Re: how was black friday 4 everyone?
 

Wetherspoons should be banned for poor food and overcharging, period!

US$55 for light meal for 3 that was dumped in the trash is wrong.

First and last time I will go to their Gatwick Airport dump, oops place.

:noidea:

Three products caught on absolute fire. The rest sold normal. Must be the go-to thing for this season.

Re: how was black friday 4 everyone?
 

Definitely a nice day, lots of traffic to each account and nice sales. Good to see a spike in views , watchers, and sales on my BIN listings that I have going till cancelled and keep up when it gets to 0 inventory.

Those listings will probably be strong with the increased views and watchers that will just continue to carry over in the months after the holidays.

I used to not like BIN listings going till cancelled I'd always do BIN as 5 and 3 day.

But with the system eBay has it seems better in the long run to keep listings going , it seems to keep bringing traffic in as your viewers and watchers increase.

So anyway good day in Sales hopefully it continues for the next weeks ahead to the holiday

Re: how was black friday 4 everyone?
 

As a seller, my sales were up - nearly double what they normally are.

As a buyer, I was kinda disappointed. I was busy all day with something else anyway, but I didn't see too many great deals out there, except on big screen TV's. But there is already one of those in the living room and each bedroom in the house. I offered one to the cats, but they passed on it as they are much too intelligent to watch TV.

I saw a few nice deals on Amazon.com but they don't ship to Canada (electronics I mean)

Re: how was black friday 4 everyone?
 

Sounds like they saw you coming! Every weatherspoons I have been to in the UK, it's been pretty decent and the price is really good. Maximum £5 for large breakfast.

Premier Inn breakfasts are £8.25 for all you can eat, that's a winner!

Re: how was black friday 4 everyone?
 

For me black Friday was the best day I've ever had and I didn't even run any promotions!

Re: how was black friday 4 everyone?
 

I was not paying.

I kindly let the miser brother open his wallet.

:pound:

Re: how was black friday 4 everyone?
 

Quite interesting. My sales went really down from like august, even though i even did cut in the prices.

Re: how was black friday 4 everyone?
 

I hate getting bufu'd at a restaurant even if someone else is paying. And I don't mind picking up the tab, but I would like to get some value for my money, not paying $50 for 3 people for breakfast and then you walk away hungry. Or the food is lousy.

Re: how was black friday 4 everyone?
 

Great job targeting this market buyer!

Re: how was black friday 4 everyone?
 

I did not notice many more sales actually, I find this time of year the small items go like crazy though, low priced stuff, probably for prezzies......maybe

I went shopping with my little girl on friday, and was stung for alot of clothes, nail varnish, hair accessories, shoes etc.....I have been assured she will 'act surprised' on christmas morning when she unwraps....

Re: how was black friday 4 everyone?
 

haha my friend went to wtherspoons once and got some soup and said it was the worst place about, its kind of like nandos, you either love it or get criticized for not loving it despite the fact it is terrible

Re: how was black friday 4 everyone?
 

Found some decent deals on newegg. However my card got flagged (unusual activity) and was never notified. So I lost out on those "deals"... For some reason I don't feel bad about it.

Re: how was black friday 4 everyone?
 

Perhaps competition outplayed you?

Re: how was black friday 4 everyone?
 

generally sales lower, however i tested one listing with a black friday promo and it was a little higher, but taking into the discount overall it was the same takings, the only benefit is i had more hits

Re: how was black friday 4 everyone?
 

sales have been down. I thought they would pick up yesterday for Cyber Monday. I dont think I sold a single item yesterday. smh
