EXPIRED Amazon Black Friday Deals Thread

It works in a similar way to the daily flash deals. You get a description of the item, though it is usually cryptic (well was last year), and a time for it to be launched. They launch them regularly throughout the day, every 10 or twenty minutes last year. Then you fight against everyone else to get it in your basket before the stock is gone, which can be seconds on the popular items. I remember last year the Jamie Oliver cookbook for a fiver and the Little Mix Cd's that the band had customized were 2 popular items. From memory the deals get slightly worse every year.......
Probaly a stupid question, but when you've got something in your basket, can it be taken out before you pay? Ie if I was holding out for two deals could I keep the first in my basket while I wait for the second deal to come up or do I need to complete check out after every item?
I've got my eye on a couple of things, but never bothered with Black Friday before nowMummy to ds 29/12/06 dd 10/2/08 ds 25/5/11:Amy angel born too soon 18/11/12, always with me Emmie Faith:A15 projects in 2015 10/15completed0 -

You have 15 minutes to check out before the item becomes available for someone else to buy and the price reverts back to it's original one.0 -
Reminder to use uk.camelcamelcamel.com to check out prices before buying, see whether the price was raised before the sale and what it usually sells for0

full listings = give it a miss I think!0
