not worth it... bt previous years were really hits bac to bac.

in other countries, yeah it is

I don't buy on impulse, never. Nigeria is the definition of dishonesty, they give with left hand take with the right hand.
Even if it's an expired product, they would rather change things he label than reduce the price . The more you look, the less you see

I just called a Friend, who is General Manager of a company and very IT-savvy. When I asked him about BLACK FRIDAY, he hissed. He told me it was an anti-climax. The popular companies completely lost the spirit of this concept imported from UK, EU and USA. Many of the sellers "did 419." They jacked up prices beyond normal and announced percentage reductions... no real bargains at all. At the end of the day, you ended up buying an item for its same old price, with virtually no price reduction. Is this true? Please, share your BLACK FRIDAY experience.

Which one is black Friday

StoneLucifer:
It was a big scam despite the hype and its just going to be the way MMM will give people cardiac arrest very soon..

Black friday? is it an event

Well some black friday offers really worth it, E.G Whogohost 75% off on all orders

cococandy:
In U.S yes.

My favorite sites had online sale even though it wasn't cyber Monday yet. Kate spade bag for 75% off. Could have asked for better.

Louis Vuitton bags on huge discount. I sneakily pointed him towards that direction. Hoping to get a 'surprise' for xmas.

Waiting for cyber Monday too.

Sorry about your bad Jumia experience. Nigerian sellers are not really known for looking out for the poor masses.

I didn't see the direction o....abeg repoint

MVLOX:
It was overly worth it.... As a sales consultant with one of the online markets I was able to help customers get products at outrageously beat down prices

Shut the hell up.

You are just an agent of those scammers - jumia and Konga

It didn't make sense at all.. With all the 1% reductions I was seeing here and there. Its not surprising tho.. Judging from the country's financial state. Its impossible to get a proper black friday

I thought I was the only one who ever noticed this since 2 years ago! That's just why I stuck to aliexpress and amazon cos their black Friday sales is just what it should be. I never was a fan of the Nigerian market when it comes to shopping online.

waylz:
I still wonder why we enjoy scamming each other in this country. I notice we derive joy from it.

You are absolutely right bro.

Stupedinluv:

Yes, it was true. I checked the price of Innjoo Halo X on Jumia twice in the past. Then, on black Friday, I checked again and I realised that the new price was still the same but they put old price there by adding something like N5000 to it. If I didn't know the price before Friday, I would have thought that they reduced the price by N5000.
But I ordered another phone when they sent me a voucher of N1200 twenty minutes to twelve midnight. At least, that would pay part of their shipping charge.

1. Not every item is up for discount.

2. Item A = N1000

On Black friday, the ad reads like this:
Item A:
Original price:N1,400
Now: N1,100.

The seller rips you off. But you believed you got a bargain. The reduction in price of popular products is to lure customers in for the kill on other items. It is all psychological

Companies are in business to make money not to be father Xmas.

Are you related to seun egbegbe?

2dugged:
NO, would have been worth it if my dream phone htc 10 was sold for #50k

I got blazers of 25k each for 4k each! Worked for me

wanted to buy Iphone 6s Plus from amazon America(US). i added different variety of the phone to my cart.10 days before Black Friday the price keep going up and i was notified of price increase on the items on my cart.the prices never came down.because of this i refuse to Buy the iPhone till any time I'm comfortable.Black Friday is not applied to all product e.g electronics.

SweetJoystick:
If it's not on Amazon, Ebay, Walmart, Alibaba and the rest.... then it's not black Friday, unfortunately I couldn't participate because NGN card wasn't working for foreign transaction.

The same thing happened to me. But now, I know better. One can easily use GTBank naira card to pay dollars into one's aliexpress pocket. If you don't have GTBank account, you can use that of one person close to you.

black friday suppose to be naija police remembrance day

my one cent

fücking scam
Fake discounts . makes you think they're doing you a favor.

11/11 on aliexpress is the best .. . I don't buy things on Jumia or konga, ....

Try aliexpress, and you will give glory to the lord

I will update my GTBank account and get the atm card ready for next year. Lack of functional account and inexperience made me missed all the items I already picked including Xiaomi redmi 4 prime.

It was worth it Abroad , but in Nigeria, because of our greedy nature, it was not really worth it.

mcemmy0z:
Nigeria and copy cat

Assuming this is true. what should now happen

It wasn't worth it. I'm happy I bought a phone on Ali express on 11:11:2016. That is when they slash their own prices. And I know how much the phones goes for, and how much I got it for. Totally worth it I tell you.

Scam Friday

I just posted my comment before seeing this. I got a phone. A phone worth about 50k was worth I got for about 25k.
