I'd done a lot of clever shopping on the latest vendor sales (can't remember what you called them) at 60-70% off. Those sales were supposed to run four more days.

But those discounts are gone, replaced by the 50% "black Friday" sale. That sale is supposed to run five days, so it seems like it's totally steamrollered the four day sales. I enjoyed shopping for those sale items: there was strategy, and there was the chance to look at some unfamiliar vendors in depth. Even without those things, there was my time, which appears to have just been flushed down the drain.

At least I have two Prime Flash items that don't seem to have been affected by this. But there's another eight-ten items that I'm not buying now because this "sale" raised the prices. Are you going to give us back those four days of vendor sales, after the black Friday thing is done?

I shouldn't have mentioned the Prime Flash items. They jumped to 50% soon after.

All topsellers "Gobble-Up" Sales ended at midnight Nov.25th - before the Black Friday Annual Sale has started.

All Exclusive Vendor Releases that allowed up to 60% off were also ended by midnight Nov.25th. Last one was DTHUREGRIF's that run 22-25 (3 days as the event requires).

All non-topsellers group sales that allowed up to 70%.. in this case the last & third group of "All The Trimmings" Sale run from the 18th to the 22nd so I honestly don't know what you're complaining about as all was planned in advance.

If you were expecting a 4th group of All The Trimmings Sale up to 70% there isn't one. All vendor submissions were divided in equal groups of 3 that ended in good time for the big event as they should.

As for Prime Flash Sales (which is always a handful of products).. I think everybody can do with the inconvenience of a few items at 50% off in comparison to an entire store on sale at their disposal!

I'm sorry, but you are mistaken. I placed an order on the 25th for several items that were expiring that night. There were still multiple items in my wishlist that were showing 4 days 1 hour left when I placed that order on the 25th.

This included items by PainMD, and 2 of these 3 (uncle808us, forester, Darkworld). Probably others (I did not bother to memorize the entire cart).

They were still adding Gobble-Up sales on the 24th. Possibly even the 25th. It simply does not make sense that they would add sales for some vendors that would only get a fraction of the time other vendors were getting.

(Normally, I would have said something clever about you being upset because only 4 of the 1167 items I've bought were yours, but I'm not in the mood to tease anyone, and you're probably not in the mood to be teased. Some other day, perhaps).

FWIW, there are still multiple Prime Flash items showing 55-70% right now, with expiration of 11/29 or 11/30. Including kaleya's "Amore", Disciple3D's "Kung Fu Master Outfit", (which I would get except that I missed out on the hair).

Sorry, but I am part of "everybody", and I'm not going to "do with the inconvenience". For the most part, I don't bother with 50% off. You have so many storewide (black Friday, March Madness, Year End) and vendor specific sales that put items at 50% off that you've established that as my expectation).

Anyway, it appears that the answer to my original "yes or no" question is "no", so I'll just wander off now and keep an eye out.
