Too bad most people are not on a computer they’re on a smartphone not sure why you didn’t look into some of the apps on the smartphone that would be helpful

do people still camp out? Seems like since maybe 2018 it isn’t a “thing” anymore. I did it once in 2009 to try and get a wii…froze my buns off for nothing. Gamestop had like 6 and I was #7 in line.

Good energy, Sir.
Does Keepa track web users’ activities? How to turn it off?

Why complicate things so much Ayaz?? No one is going to use these complex extensions just to get a good deal. Agree with the scam part. People have to beware.

I don’t expect great deals this year, tariffs are going to make stores unable to give big discounts

As far as I can tell, every day in the month of November leading up to Thanksgiving is an “early black Friday” sale now. It’s pretty pathetic.
