Black Friday 2011 is starting to wind down as retail stores try to recover from the masses of shoppers that came in, bought items at rock bottom prices and sometimes got a little carried away. A press release from Comscore claims that in terms of online sales, Black Friday 2011 generated $816 million in revenue in the US, up 26 percent from Black Friday 2010.
But that could be small potatoes compared to the online sales for Cyber Monday. The Monday after Black Friday has now come to be known as the single biggest day for online-only sales as people return to work and still find they have some holiday shopping to accomplish. It"s expected that $1 billion or more in revenues could be made in Cyber Monday 2011.
In fact, Cyber Monday has already started for a number of retail web sites. Here are just some of the deals that can be found right now:
Walmart - The retailer has a number of electronics and gaming items up for sale from now until the end of the week on its web site. That includes an iBUYPOWER Black Gamer Extreme 925D3 Desktop PC with and Intel Core i5-2500K Processor, 8 GB of memory, and a 1 TB hard drive for $699.99.
