Black Friday refurb sale sucked

[Uneternal]

Did anyone manage to get anything from the BF sale? The sale started at midnight and most of the inventory was already gone before the sale even started. And the rest went in basically a minute. Same for each time they restocked.

I swear people use bots to buy large quantities for resale. Really sad for people who were looking forward to take advantage of the huge discounts. Canon needs to put quantity limits at these sales and lock out accounts that have the same shipping address.

Greetings,

I'm pretty geared up at the moment. I wasn't watching those sales. I did buy a bunch of software this.week.  What were you looking for, just curious?

I was looking for a RF 100-400mm, which was just $350 😞

RF is most popular than DSLR, however, I failed to grab any for my 5D mark iv. EF 70-200 mm F/2.8 or 4, EF 100-400 mm, EF 100mm F/2.8,..........

Thats a great price for refurb.  I paid $499 (new) when it was released.

I feel much better when I read that someone has the same issue with Canon refurbished products BF sales. I had stayed there(online) all night after dinner. I even bought a $99 50mm F/1.8 lens when I was boring. Actually it was dropped to 69 next morning. I did not buy the price reduced one and return $99 one. 

What is the next chance? Christmas or next spring sales.

Christmas will be the next sale, but refurb gear goes in and out of stock regularly. 

Shopping hints.  Watch for reductions.

And if you click on the savings amount, you can see how long the sale is running.

You did not get it. At least, I am talking about the holiday or sales season like spring when the refurbished products are not regularly $100 off, but less than or about half of the normal price. That is why they say "Black Friday refurbished sales Sucked" because those went too fast, in minutes.
