The Black Friday sales may have started weeks before the official date (29th November) this year, but don't expect them to hang around for as long afterwards. Indeed, if you have been hovering over that 'add to cart' button, we are now in do-or-die do-or-be-disappointed territory.
Routinely hot on the heels of Black Friday, Cyber Monday came and went yesterday and several retailers, such as Amazon, have now ended their sales events. That said, some of the specialist audio and hi-fi retailers who have delivered many of the best deals I've seen over the past weeks, such as Peter Tyson, Sevenoaks and Richer Sounds, are still going strong with their sale promotions.
According to its countdown timer, Richer Sounds' sale ends tonight, when the clock strikes midnight. I imagine Sevenoaks's sale will end sooner rather than later too. Meanwhile, Peter Tyson posted on its Facebook page yesterday that it is "preparing for Cyber Monday and a whole week of more great deals"... so perhaps the end isn't so nigh over there.
Since Cyber Monday officially ended, I've gone back through my (and my colleagues') favourite hi-fi and audio deals from the past weeks to see which ones appear to be sticking around a little bit longer. I've plopped them just below for your perusal. There's everything from headphones and wireless speakers to stereo amplifiers and whole music systems here, from as little as £64 to as much as £769...
