Black Friday Scuba Sales

[ams511]

Is it me or are others disappointed in this year's Black Friday offerings? It seems retailers were much more aggressive last year than this year.

Nope, it's not just you. I'm still doing my rounds, but it's looking like I'll be holding onto my money this shopping season.

I feel bad because I talked it up to Buddhasummer and except for a few deals there is nothing. :depressed:

Just what were you looking for or expecting? I have some great deals on regs, wings, etc.. And did you bother to call the places you looked and see what else they may have that is not advertised?

I expected a bit more. Seems like the only gear on sale is gear no one wants.

I agree. Scuba wise, looks like hog/edge gear is on sale for a price preset by hog/edge (all the hog dealers are selling for exactly the same price). I did see Lights & Motion lights at one LDS for about 50% of the normal price. If I hadn't already bought lights I would have been on it like stink on fish. I was hoping to see some deep discounts for scubapro or preferably atomic stuff, but I was disappointed.

Maybe the online sites will have some deals come cyber Monday.

I noticed the same thing. I was hoping to get a deal on a few scubapro regs. The only deals I have seen are edge/hog gear.

I agree with the exception of HOG, you are having some smoking deals, Jim! Hubby will give you a call when he gets some time away from work!

Which LDS?

I agree. Overall I was disappointed, there are good deals to be had but not to the extent of the last couple of years. The extent of my Black Friday scuba shopping will be a new edge reg from Jim.

I noticed a similar statement about calling for non-advertised specials from Scubatoys. Are the various Scuba manufactures that aggressive about controlling the 'authorized’ dealers pricing?
