Title says it all, in the last couple years Black Friday hasn’t been as exciting in terms of deals, that’s why this post, if you stumble upon anything interesting and you think it’s worth it, you can share it with the community here.
Seems like black friday is more of an excuse to raise price in September to slightly lower it in Oct/Nov.
I thought thats just me, but I noticed that Black Friday is not as it used to be anymore. Thanks to various services like camel camel and honey I can see that those “discounts” are the actual prices, and that the price bumped few weeks ago to just get back down now for Black Friday.
With these tools and others, that game is just about over. So many consumers are just done with all the BS, and I think a larger shift is coming.
I’ve been tracking multiple deals on this page.
Hot ones are the WD Red hard drive for $335 - 22 TB storage. They have 10 TB NAS grade hard drive.
Costco has a 14 TB Seagate for $150.
The mini PC with N10 is also on sale for about $109. 8 GB RAM, 256 SSD, and has a USB-C port.
Oh, I saw crucial 2TB SSD for 88, got excited, however the price is back to 150s
I’m sorry pal, I’ll be on the look out for you. Feel free to sign up to the newsletter if you want emails. I’ll reply to your comment if I find anything comparable for similar price.
MXroute has nice deals. I self-host my emails and I use MXroute only for outgoing emails so the cheapest one (least storage) is enough.
I was looking at their policies, and I am worried about the “Forbidden Services” where they forbid “Forward-only service for massive numbers of domains on one account.” I have 5 domains… Any idea what “massive numbers” means?
Also, can you send to an sms gateway a single email?

Bulk email providers need pretty tight and aggressively worded ToS by necessity because they’re a target for spammers & abuse. The owner of mxroute has been around on various forum for years & consistently strikes me as a very reasonable bloke that won’t cause you problems if you don’t cause him problems.

Maybe I’m imagining this so please don’t quote me on this but I vaguely recall hearing them answering a question around what constitutes reasonable in the context of unlimited domains as “if you needed a script/automation to create them then you’re probably over the line”.
[Note that this is purely my impression as long term customer & I have no special insight/connection to them. Legally they can enforce the ToS]
