Techbuyer's Black Friday Deal

The truth is we've all done it, some more than others – treating Black Friday like an Olympic sport!

We can't be too critical; we're all seduced by the same things – usually an offer that seems too good to be true. But for a lot of us it isn't long until we're filled with that all-too-familiar feeling of buyer’s regret. Was it worth it? Did I need it? Is it massively overrated?

Before we know it, the delivery driver is on first-name terms with us, and the living room looks like a warehouse clearance.

Every year, as soon as the deals start appearing, we get caught up in the excitement – that irresistible mix of “I don’t need it, but look at that price!” and “What if it sells out?”

That's right, with Black Friday just around the corner it won't be long until our inboxes are filled with all manner of tempting deals, and despite our best efforts, sometimes it's just too hard to say no. But we're not here to say you can't buy something, or that you shouldn't even – because we've all done it, right? We won’t pretend we’re immune to a good deal ourselves.

We are, however, very invested in sustainability; in fact, it's at the heart of everything we do. So, it goes without saying one thing we really, really hate is e-waste – if you're new to Techbuyer, you might not have seen our 'zero-to-landfill' pledge, or read our latest Sustainability Report – but that's not why we're here.

No, as the title suggests we're here to launch 'Techbuyer's Black Friday Deal' – don't panic; this hasn't been some elaborate ruse to trick you into buying products from us. Our 'Black Friday Deal' is just our way of asking you to ask yourself a few questions before you next click 'buy' on that “too good to refuse” offer you've seen.

The Questions…

  1. Do I have a genuine need for this product?

    Buying more than what we need or investing in something that isn’t going to do much for us isn’t what Black Friday’s about – but using those discounts on something that’s going to have an impact on our lives is fair game.

  2. Is this something that I’ll keep hold of for years to come?

    Keeping products in use for longer helps us keep materials out of landfill – make sure that whatever you’re buying on Black Friday is built to last.

  3. Am I sure that refurbished isn’t a good option for this product?

    Refurbished is often a good option, particularly when buying technology. With reduced prices against new technology as well, it’s like Black Friday every day on a refurbished storefront! And not to blow our own trumpet, but Techbuyer’s refurbished hardware is thoroughly tested and comes with a three year warranty.

If you've answered yes to these questions, then who are we to stand in your way? We're just here to ask that you spread the message, consider the environmental impact of any future purchases – especially around this time of year – and ask yourself those questions listed above.

But Before You Go

Ethical Disposal of Used Products

Replacing things on Black Friday is a great way to get the most for your money – but do you know what to do with the goods you need to dispose of? Getting some more info on where you can ethically dispose of redundant goods helps us keep materials out of landfill. Find your nearest e-waste bin here.

Learn About Earth Overshoot

Earth Overshoot Day is the day of the year when we have used all of the resources that our planet can naturally replenish within the space of a year – once we pass this day, we’re in a debt to our future selves, using up supplies that can’t be recuperated as quickly. In 2025 this fell on 24th July – you can find out more about Earth Overshoot Day here. By keeping materials and goods in use for longer we can push this date back!

So, what do you say? Do we have a deal?
