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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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!

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

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.
