Amazon.com's Black Friday "Customer Vote"

Posted on 15:33 by Unknown

"Black Friday" (the Friday after Thanksgiving) is now a big event for on-line stores too.

This year, even Amazon.com will be promoting deals.

They set up a Black Friday web page, and they plan to promote hourly deals, and put thousands of items on sale.

They are also doing an interesting "customer vote" feature.

They have 18 potential product deals.  For 6 days, people can vote for the deal they want, and one deal will win each day.

Thus, 6 of the possible 18 deals will happen. 

After a deal is selected, they will randomly choose some of the voters, and allow them to purchase the item.

Here are some of the deals they are offering:

  • 1,000 Nintendo Wii Game Systems (see prices on Customers Vote page)
  • 500 Panasonic 7.5MP Digital SLR Cameras, $499 (*normally $1,149.95)
  • 1,000 Razor E100 Electric Scooters for $29 (*normally $89.99)
  • 500 TiVo HD Digital Video Recorders, $89 (*normally $253.48)
  • 500 Magellan Maestro 3140 Portable Auto GPS Systems, $99 (*normally $247.00)
  • 200 Samsung 46" 1080p LCD HDTVs, $719 (*normally $1,899.98)
