Was anyone else finishing their shopping 5 minutes before midnight last night?

I was about to check out and noticed one of the items had gone up. Then when I checked the others most of the rest had too.

Very disappointing!

      I can't see an issue with bargains being made available for a fortnight instead of 3 days.
      Helps people get their xmas shopping done a month earlier and not on week 3 of December.

      Black November more like for most

      And ‘usual Amazon discounted price’ for many others lol

    Most BF sales ended 2nd of December.

    Very disappointing!

    Should've done it earlier.

      If it wasn’t for the last minute, nothing would get done 🤣

        procrastination is the precursor to innovations

    I'm with you OP. For a high value item, oof the pain is real.

    Why would you leave it so late, there is variance, maybe the time you thought it was is not the time amazon has on their servers. 5 minutes leeway is pretty ridiculous when you think about it in terms of expectation for when it ends. Like why even risk missing out on the deals you want by doing that. If you need to be disappointed, be disappointed in yourself for making that decision.

    Yes I know I left it late - I have a life other than collecting bargains.
    No, my clocks are not wrong - surprisingly, I'm not an amateur when it comes to time.

      OK downvoters, up to how long before midnight should the sale end without notice?
      Or is the problem that I am not a full time OzB'er, in which case I respect the downvotes?

      Optimising your life's priorities within 5 mins is impressive.

    • DingoBilly on 04/12/2024 - 10:25

      Not an amateur re: time.

      Loses out on a deal because they decided to do all their shopping in the very last 5 minutes of a 1 week sale.

      🤔

      • McFly on 04/12/2024 - 11:40

        This is heavy.

    I'm interested to know what item had a sale price that was outside of the normal pricing fluctuation.

    • ForkSnorter on 03/12/2024 - 15:28

      I got a few deals at prices I haven't seen all year.

  • tenpercent on 03/12/2024 - 15:21

    Report them to the ACCC.

    • McFly on 03/12/2024 - 15:35

      I already did that by 11:59. Twice.
