    What the title says... I have to say that I did but a few things.

    2x 200gb micro Sd cards which will possibly go into:
    FiiO X5 ii
    V-moda M100 (again... Don't ask me why)
    Fostex THxxx
    Some nice monk strap shoes (lol)
    Guitar Hero Live for PS4

    I'm probably missing some stuff but yeah...

    Anyway, how about you guys!? :p

    Nothing. I got my HE-560 for $699 weeks before any sales were even on the horizon. Black Friday is just commerical marketing noise.

    Thanks! Yeah, I got really lucky. The used bookstore near me has a dozen never-opened Tallis disks for $7 ea. instead of the usual $20+.

    IIRC, the original Black Friday was a time of economic slump that saw the retail trade in real problems and having to slash prices.

    What happens in our crazy world? It becomes something to celebrate and repeat annually!

    Anyway, bargains, bargains... bring them on and lets enjoy. Let the vulture shoppers (I am one; it is a good thing I am not in USA) have a feeding frenzy :piratemug:

    Next week I am moving to a lovely quiet new home so finally open backed headphones are viable. I checked Amazon shortly after midnight on Black Friday and found Sennheiser HD 598 Special Edition for £75. Yes! I also paid £1.99 for next day delivery to a locker today. It didn't arrive. Will be calling amazon tomorrow for delivery charge refund and to indulge in some non-specific, diffuse field, attention seeking, broad spectrum, general whining with a view to progressing to throwing a tantrum (I love this thing where they call you back at their own expense and you get to complain - it's a real incentive to buy stuff he he he).
