reflexus Posted November 25, 2020 Posted November 25, 2020 I noticed Game and Makro are having a black friday month. Am curious to know whether we will even see a black friday this year, given the covid crisis. Wouldn't that be a little irresponsible of the retailers to cram so many people into their stores for one day? The marketing guy from Pick n Pay was talking about this earlier in the week and saying they have gone for more deals every day during the week to try and alleviate big queues in the stores on any one day.They'll still have some big specials on Friday but will try and manage the distances between people etc.
Mojoman Posted November 25, 2020 Posted November 25, 2020 Is it me or are we not seeing too many bike and bike part specials out there?Been looking for some new tyres and a spare BB but I might as well wait till the new year by the looks of it... Sid the Sloth 1

Prices stayed the same with only rrp that increased on " black Friday ads" . Hairy 1
WW87 Posted November 25, 2020 Posted November 25, 2020 I normally stock up on tubes and tyres on BF, but this year already seems disappointing thus far. I know supply chains have been disrupted this year and the USDZAR has blow out, but this year seems like a non-event for bike shops. Hope I'm wrong and we see a mega clearance sale on Friday

reflexus Posted November 25, 2020 Posted November 25, 2020 I was in a bike shop last week and overheard a customer asking about any upcoming Black Friday specials. There appeared to be a number of reasons as to why there won't be too many bicycle related Black Friday specials (suppliers dictate the items to be deeply discounted and they aren't forthcoming with too many deals, older stock would normally be discounted but this store wasn't holding too much stock as there had been a run on spares etc during lockdown and they didn't want to run at a loss just to make sales). Hairy 1

lechatnoir Posted November 25, 2020 Posted November 25, 2020 last year i used black friday to unsubscribe from mailing lists. it was painful as there were many it seemed. this year, from my inbox activity, I'm wondering if there is even a black friday this year Grey Hubs, MORNE and slickjay007 3
Cookie88 Posted November 25, 2020 Posted November 25, 2020 Any deals on an Eagle XX1 chain that anyone has seen?
