\"Amazon's<\/a>Black friday is around the corner and it’s become a shopping tradition at Amazon.com to make the craziest deals available in a democratic fashion.<\/p>\n

They have 18 crazy deals to propose organized into 6 rounds. Amazon users get to vote on each of these rounds for their favorite offer, what will you vote for<\/a>? <\/p>\n

Then a limited number of customers are selected at random to participate in the buying round<\/a>, where they race to buy deals for that round. <\/p>\n

This year’s potential winning deals include a Samsung 46-Inch 1080p HDTV<\/a> for $699, an ASUS Eee PC 900 Netbook<\/a> for $129 and a KitchenAid Professional Stand Mixer<\/a> for $69. See the Product Pricing and Availability section for the full list.<\/p>\n

It’s different from last year<\/strong>
\nThe biggest difference is that this year, Customers Vote is a race. Amazon will invite more customers to participate in the buying round than they have available deals.<\/p>\n

Amazon recommends selected customers sign in early on the buying day, as deals are sold on a first come, first served basis. (Check here for the buying days calendar<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

Another difference is that customers selected to participate in the buying round will be able to buy any (or all) of the deals, not just the one they voted for.<\/p>\n

And remember, only customers who voted can participate, so vote now<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
