Sooo... Any good 2024 Black Friday deals we should be keeping an eye out for?
- Thread starter USP45
- Start date
Has anyone seen any deals on the InReach Messenger Plus? or any sites offering 15% or greater discounts on Garmin devices?
Lowest price I found online - https://deleonrxgunsandammo.com/product-details?id=92611531
What is best price you found and are wanting to beat?
It really is, at some point there's only so many times you can screw up a website sale before you have to wonder if it's a human experiment 
Can't blame them though, it's probably ridiculously expensive to get enough resources to autoscale to such an event. At work just one small program can drop $100k a month in AWS costs. I'm sure next year we'll hear they have it all sorted out again before the sale too! It's practically tradition now.
They should have fun with it though, release stuff randomly during the night/day, make some stuff more expensive than normal just use red text to make it look on sale, mystery boxes, etc. Do like the car dealers with high demand cars they get in trouble for selling over MSRP and use ebay to bid for a place in line to shop the sale!

Garmin Xeros aren't on sale anywhere are they?
I see $540 at one place with google-fu, but never heard of them.

Got a double pull from Brownells for $663.37. Whatever, still not a bad deal on a double pull. And finally got through on MDT's site to snag a few 6br mags at $53.97 each which isn't bad. But overall I would say that MDT lived up to their BF tradition since by time my cart actually loaded I had 3 single pull blems in it. Of course they were all gone by then.
Since I don't know where that is, maybe I'll roll the dice with AliExpress for $420

What is the code again? I tried almond and it didn’t work, must have overlooked the real one
Lame. I was hoping for some grenade side rails or something. But hopefully someone will nab a cheap chassis and be happy.
Snagged a dasher die, couple mandrels and a bushing. Now if I could get boretechs website to take my money, I'd be set.
Does anyone know the difference between KRG Tikka enclosed forend gen 1 vs gen 2? Both are on sale for BF and I don’t want to buy the wrong one
If anyone is looking for Hawkins Hunter bottom metal and the matching Hawkins hunter flush fit magazines, Arrowhead Rifles has extremely good prices on them right now.
I ordered 2x Hunter DBMs and 2x Hunter LA mags from Altus yesterday using the 15% off coupon thinking it was a decent deal, and if I had waited until today the same order would have been almost $90 cheaper at Arrowhead...

Not really black friday related, but how do people feel about this new trend where stores try to "fear bait" you into paying for shipping insurance saying that if your order is lost or damage you are SOL if you don't pay for insurance. Ever since I can remember goods getting to the buyer safely has always been the responsibility of the shipper, regardless of if the buyer paid extra for insurance.
No idea what the legal standard would be, but I really doubt a credit card dispute is going to side with the store because you didn't pay extra for shipping insurance.

Bruno has their McM's on sale. Model selection is somewhat limited though.

Holy smokes. $100K a month on a small program? I target as the ceiling a half cent per dollar of cloud for the entire CI/CD ecosystem per dollar of revenue for our online portfolios. That works out to $80K/mo for a $20M/mo in revenue for a mid sized retailer for example. Another does $1.5B for about $4M in cloud spend. AWS and GCP offer little means to bend the cost curve for B2C when they charge so damn much for outbound network traffic. We moved off them years ago.
I know little about MDT's IT ecosystem, but I will say almost all firearms industry B2C/B2B firms use some type of online store for online presence. And have locally optimized IT systems, rather than globally optimized systems. The plant or plants has one system, the inventory system another, finance another, web analytics another, shipping another, B2B another, and then the online catalog yet another. The older the firm, the worse it is. Classic legacy industry IT sprawl. Then there is the age of the systems and the age of the IT staff. Kimber got publicly hacked. And a few others were but it's not public.
It’s the sellers responsibility. I have won charge back situations where I had to click a buttom saying that I understand I’m not buying the insurance. It didn’t matter at all
Yeah it had to be, I got to the checkout with a XRS second and dual pull bipod but it told me they could not ship the items to PA. It took another half hour before I could get back to the checkout and of course that stuff was long sold out.
Their facebook thread is amusing, there's a lot of company response of avoiding the obvious systemic website issues with "Well seconds go really fast, and there's a lot of demand, better luck next time!" They don't go really fast when you can't checkout for an hour...... That said, they are updating their website so this won't happen again
Every year they get caught out with something unexpected......I wonder if they could crowdsource testing it. A week before black friday put out a call for everyone to test the system out for an extra 5% off or something and run a mock black friday sale system load test. Seems like folks would be more than happy to step up and do it for the chance of a smooth black friday sale.
Honestly I'm actually surprised they can't simulate system loads for retail sales sites with black friday like traffic, esp. when they know what the traffic volume looks like from past years, we system load test various other systems all the time with simulated testing.
