Cyber Monday

[cubancigarman]

So did anyone fall in to the cyber monday trap? Personally I didn't buy anything today but there's still time. I saw that quite a few of the online Cigars retailers are having sales. Anyone find anything good?

Nothing to do with cigars, but I bought a 2 TB hard drive

Nada for me...

Nothin' here. Picked up a couple new sticks from the b&m, but that was it.

Bought some stuff, but nothing having anything to do with Cyber Monday.

Black Friday online I bought a leapfrog for the kids. There is a code that took 15% off.

I asked quite a few people this same question today. All of them had the same answer. Nope! Is it the economy or hype?

Probably a combination of both.

Then again, I might have missed out on a new tv.

I've been searching for the elusive 60" OLED for $900 :halfgrinw

You just talked to the people that didn't buy anything is all... from the news I saw, there was a lot more buying/spending this year than the last couple.

That's good news if it's true... But don't trust the media :headroll:

Well, probably neither...

Cyber Monday was named as such NOT because the historical internet shopping day falls on the Monday after Black Friday, but because it used to be that internet connections were much faster at work, so consumers would wait until they got to work on Monday to do their shopping.

Now that internet connections are universally faster, sales have dropped considerably on "Cyber Monday"

Interesting...

Makes sense that surely is true. Brings up a good tech topic..

I looked some, bought nothing. I typically just go to a large local mall with a list of things to buy for the wife and stick to that. She takes care of the rest of the shopping.

There were some sales and deals out there but nothing that really got me excited. Could be that i only have two young nephews i buy for and nothing stood out, and if experience has taught me anything you can find pretty good deals a week or two before xmas when stores are desperate to get rid of inventory. OH and the best deal is on xmas decorations and wrapping paper after xmas, min 50% off.

We always (ALWAYS) get our wrapping paper, tags, greeting cards etc... a year ahead of time. You gotta take advantage of the day after clearances on xmas paper goods!!!

on that note, we buyy a ton of next years presents in January. We also grab B'day presents for the coming year at this time as well. If something is 80-90% off, buy it , and it'll go in a gift bag for someone in the next year.

Will you trust CNN at least? They said it was the biggest online shopping day in history!
