| | | Black Friday/Cyber Monday FTA deals?
I guess this seems unlikely since I haven't seen any posts about it, but I was curious if any of the sponsors ever do any special promotions for Black Friday or Cyber Monday? 
On a somewhat related note (Ok not really) what does everybody think about the two Azbox sellers on Ebay? I'm looking to pull the trigger on an Azbox Elite and I figured I'd get one from one of them, but I wanted to get some second opinions.

In the past several seasons, I've partaken of some Black Friday offers at SatelliteAV.
The other sponsors usually have pretty good holiday deals, in general.
Sadoun has recently been promoting his new 6' dish.
Two days ago, WSI Atlanta listed his 8' BUD at an attractive price, and included shipping.
If you don't see what you want listed on our forum, check their web sites...
Or call them up if you have a big shopping list...
Everybody in retail needs to close the year with some sales, and I'm all for helping out our sponsors. |

Thanks Anole, that's good to know.  Everybody seems to be doing a BF promotion these days, but I wasn't sure if that would apply to the world of FTA products. I'm looking to get a new LNBF for my Winegard or the Nova SS stainless steel dish I posted pictures of a few weeks ago. I finally got the go ahead to take the Nova, but I'm still debating on whether or not it's worth the trouble, since there are two black mesh dishes down the road that look to be in good shape and would probably be less painful to acquire. The relative who put in the Nova, which is 9' 6" at the rim, told me he had four grand tied up in the installation.

Thanks for the info qwert, I have never heard of those days before but it could be because our Thanksgiving isn't at the same time as in the US. In Canada the best sales day (at least for consumer prices) is on Boxing Day, December 26.

If our Gold Sponsors have specials we will promote them on our homepage. Its something I wish our sponsors do more often for our members.
