Sales: November 20th - 27th

The Black Friday sales last year were announced on the 27th of November and 2023's sale was announced on the 22nd. Silly to get angry at ssg for not doing a Black Friday sale before then. Strange to get upset over this when you can literally search the forums and see their history with sales. SSG always does black friday sales. People complaining about there not being a Black Friday sale because they haven't posted about it yet are just fighting ghosts. Just be patient and wait :)

Your forum post does not change anything about my comment. I do not care if you think that sales should be held earlier, that is not what my comment was about. Reading your post though, I can see why you maybe took issue with me talking about having patience.

If you want to spend money on SSG's sales, you know that SSG does a Black Friday sale every year. I believe it is on you if you feel like other things were more important to buy and chose to spend your money on something else. It is not secret information when SSG puts out their sales (you can see the history of sales in the past 3 years on the forums), if there is something you want to buy but you don't want to pay full price for, wait until it is on sale. It is weird to me to act like you are entitled to a discount and the discount must come at the best time for you. I would more understanding about your complaint if SSG did their Black Friday sale a week or longer after Black Friday, but you can check the forums and see when they have posted for previous Black Friday sales, which they have done before Black Friday.

If you are unable to buy anything during the Black Friday sale this year, don't worry, there'll be another sale for whatever you're looking to buy at some point in the future (SSG do sales very often, they have sales of some form every single week if you could believe it).

I do not believe that SSG has any obligation to put out sales, they are pretty generous in the sales that they do put out and the frequency of their sales. I think that it comes off as pretty whiny and arrogant to tell them to release their sale earlier or else they won't get your money. I'm sure if SSG was concerned that they needed to make more money off of big sales like Black Friday, they would put sales out earlier and for longer.

This a clearly an irrational point we are arguing. I would not bother wasting too much attention on it. Some people are very invested in the idea. This itself doesn't bother me (I too would like good deals that last long time! - but I recognize it is not my decision to make). But it could communicated more respectfully to show decency. Well, I guess it got people's attention . . . though I am not sure if it is in the good way.

Hilarious to see so many people who think everyone else is American or should know everything there is to know about being American.
Hilarious to see people not seeing how many people are complaining about a lack of Black Friday sales on this thread. You know, that thing that Americans do and done by American companies and certainly not something Google could help with.
