We are after a new Tv, 43”. Got a 20% off code on eBay and it would apply to this, which brings the price down by another £60, so tempted, but should I keep my powder dry and wait for Black Friday, or new year sales. More often than not, limited products seem to be halved in price,

That panni is a Hitachi unit 7/10 sound is poor on them

@crazy-legs

Oh and if anyone sees a decent offer on a small Chromebook (like really dinky, very lightweight), please let me know!

Just ordered one of these :-

Reviews are pretty positive (actually most of the reviews are for the first flip cm3 with a less good processor, so hoping a bit better again). I was after a dinky 2-in-1 and decided a 3:2 ratio screen was the thing to have. I’m not expecting rocket ship performance at that spec/price but it seems like it should tick all my modest boxes.

Ah, right. I’m not that clued up on tvs so how about this.

Both will benefit from another £60 off.

We are sort of restricted by the stand type as it will sit on a sound base so one big foot, or quite a narrow stand is needed. Cant really accommodate stands with individual legs at each end.

Worx 40V cordless mower with 2 x 4ah batteries and dual fast charger for £150. Will do nicely as a replacement for my aging LIDL one and the batteries will double up duties with the other Worx things I have.

Not bad for normal telly again the sound won’t be amazing but if you have optical in on your sound system no issues.
What are you watching your tv through?
Stb or digital roof antenna

@crossed yes please

We’ve got a denon sound base with optical in. Sounds great.
Signal is just from a roof aerial. No sky, subscriptions or what not. Fire stick currently used which may be redundant.

@Daffy

A set of Santoku knives to replace my Global ones which keep breaking.

Where did you see a deal on these ? About the only thing I’m interested in this years Black Friday, is replacing our global knives.

Rockhopper, the 20% off on eBay comes round all the time. I’ve bought a couple of things this year using it. I reckon once a month maybe.

yep, i also grabbed a set of Vel wheels from sigma sports
23mm alloy gravel allroad thingies.. was after comfort not speed so much 🙂 look nice, considering the money

Anyone seen any deals on Tado radiator valves?

I just saved $1200 on a Commencal Meta TR Essential. Glad I waited as I nearly clicked the mouse 10 days ago when they discounted $600
All this discounting does make me wonder what the mark ups are as presumably there is still a significant profit on the cost price.

76projects sent out a 30% off code for those already on their mail list… Was working on already discounted items earlier so I managed to pick up a pair of Exposure Trace / TraceR Lights for just over £50

£49 at Exposure’s own outlet store.

Bikester one’s worked great for me, I wanted another dynaplug so nabbed one of the kits, and they’ve got my favourite odi grips in it too so I’ve bought, er, 5 sets.

All this discounting does make me wonder what the mark ups are as presumably there is still a significant profit on the cost price.

yep the bikester 70% one is an eye opener.

(The woho bikepacking kit is actually very nice,you can never have enuff bags 🙂 )

That Bikester PSA is one of the best ones I’ve seen for a while.

Ordered a WTB Volt titanium rail saddle from them when it was 60% off but now they’re down to £30 each with the 70% That’s an insane price.

Funny you mention as the distributers are sending email with “70% markup” in their titles.

Funny you mention as the distributers are sending email with “70% markup” in their titles.

As above, reports of overstock.. so probably trying to liquidate as much as they can before things really tighten.

Example:

Tifosi Offers – Up To 65% Margin

Discounting stuff by 70% doesn’t mean there’s necessarily enough markup in there to make a return on it at that.
It could very easily push it to below cost.

Anything sat on a shelf is costing money, especially if you’re in the volume game. It’s better to sell at a loss than not sell at all, and it can be better than throwing it away depending on how you account for it.

Tifosi Offers – Up To 65% Margin

Yes but no.

Sure the glasses cost eg £10 and have an rrp of £29 but you’ve got to pay rent, power, wages, tax, shipping, packing and so on. So by the time you’ve sold that pair of glasses at rrp (or more likely rrp -20%) you may only actually make £0.50, so yes the headline numbers sound big (and 65% Margin for a retail rrp is about right, historically it was about 200% markup to rrp back when retail meant highstreets) but the actual profit/return on that can be very small.

dangeourbrain

Yes but no.

Well exactly.. hence I haven’t even opened the email 😉 just copied the subject line.

if you look at the 70% discounts on bikester, most of it is on odd sizes, colours, etc. stuff that’s been sitting on the shelf for a while.

Didn’t stop me placing 2 orders though! (one at only 50% off though the rotters)

I went through 30-odd pages when it was a mere 50% off, seemed to mostly be ladies’ swimwear past a certain point.

Luck of the draw as to whether you find something useful. I ordered 2 Dynaplug inflator kits, 2 spare (bare) Fidlock bottles and a couple of Magura bleed syringes. With the discount it was worth having them spare for when needed.

Brand X Ascend droppers are £70 on CRC. Good price for a reliable budget post.

Garmin Varia 40% off. Light version has 20% off too. thought I’d give it a try to add to the Fly6

For random day-to-day stuff; as an immaculately groomed, almost Beckham-esque metrosexual I just popped in to boots to pick up some smelly stuff and their Black Friday offer is half price on lots of deodorants and shaving stuff, so I’ve just bought about 2 years worth of toiletries and shaving whatnots. Result! 😃

Climate change is terrible, why won’t somebody DO something??’

‘Oooh, shiny gee-gaws! Take my money!’

This.

However, any Whisky deals, Speyside, then let me know

Master of Malt has some deals but to be honest the best discounts are usually on Amazon. I’ve had plenty of decent mid-priced stuff from them before.

This one is worth a look:

For me that’s a bar of soap and set of new blades… don’t use shampoo except when I get grease in my hair from working on the bike/van, minimal soap so a bar lasts 2 yrs and can get a set of blades to last until they rust using the electric hair/beard jobbo.

Good deal on these Mavic wheels. £300 for crossmax XL 29.

2 years out of a bar of soap? Are you sure it’s not been swapped for a stone?
