APMEX pulled a used-car sales trick.  I, like everyone on the list, received their BF (Black Friday) email telling us that their sale will start 7 am eastern time.  
I decided to wake up early to see and it was about as disappointing as hunting on the US Mint site.  There was nothing, though the web traffic was slow, which shows me that others were also looking. 
A few hour later, I clicked the email again. Every single BF deal apparently "out of stock".  
Nice way to advertise something that you really don't intend to sell.  They still have "random" gold eagles for sale, but not at spot.  
They probably saw spot drop and thought... oh no, we can't give them THAT good of a deal.  Thanks for nothing!

It was mayhem out there, mate!
That 10oz bar took me dozens of refreshes, both in the landing page and in the cart(both crashed several times), and in the end, after I had paid the order, it didn't even give me a confirmation or order number...got the confirmation on a separate e-mail they sent manually after I contacted the customer service 😅

Is anyone else not impressed with "Black Friday" PM deals? 
APMEX had a "flash" deal yesterday on a tube 2020 Eagles. 
Granted, that was probably an okay deal for APMEX because they usually charge a high premium, but I did the math including tax and felt underwhelmed. 

The best deal is the SD Bullion round at spot, but you can only buy 1 so it's more of a lure for you to buy more because free shipping doesn't kick in til after $99.  
I shall see tomorrow if anyone comes to play because none of these are "deals" if the spot drops to $20 USD. 
Really hoping gold goes under $1800... where it's been hovering a little over for the past few days. 

I just grabbed the 10oz bar at spot Black Friday deal, there was one for Kilo bar(Perth MInt Koalas!) as well, but first time ordering from overseas(I'm in Europe), so wanted to try this out.
