Over the years, eBay has gone from just a peer-to-peer marketplace, to becoming an internet juggernaut in its own right, replete with its own list of Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals.
And while eBay may not be the premiere destination for video games, this year the company does have some excellent deals on 4K TVs and video game consoles. The below lists include all the big tech and video game deals, but I’ve bolded the ones that should be of particular interest to gamers.
Let’s take a look, starting with…
Black Friday:
- LG 34” Ultra-wide (2560X1080) Gaming monitor – MSRP $599.99 – eBay BF deal price $249.99
- DJI Phantom 4 – eBay BF deal price $949.00
- Canon PIXMA MX922 Wi-Fi Inkjet All-In-One Printer + Corel PaintShop Pro X8 Bundle – eBay BF deal price $65.99
- Samsung Galaxy Tab A 9.7″ 32GB tablet – List price $399.99 – eBay BF deal price $149.99
- Dell XPS 13 Touchscreen Notebook Computer, Intel Core i5-6200U 2.3GHz, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, Windows 10 Home – List price $1399.99 – eBay BF deal price $899.99
- Asus K556UAK Notebook Computer 15.6 Full HD, i7-7500U, 8Gb RAM, 256GB SSD – List Price $799.99 – eBay BF deal price $549.99
- Samsung 50” 4K UHD TV – List price $1049 – eBay BF deal price $399.00
- Samsung UN55KS8000 55” 4K UHD TV – List price $2199 – eBay BF deal price $997.99
- Samsung UN65KS8000 65” 4K UHD TV – List price $3499 – eBay BF deal price $1497.99
So, out of these the LG widescreen gaming monitor and the two Samsung KS8000 TVs are the best deals for gamers.
The LG is a well-reviewed monitor that’s “ultra-wide” which gives you a much better field of view in games. It also just looks cool. At $250, it’s a screaming deal, though it’s not as high-resolution as some of the competition.
Meanwhile, the KS8000 TV sets are some of Samsung’s best 4K screens, and really some of the best and most affordable TVs out there for gamers.
They boast color-enhancing HDR technology and have a really low input lag and high brightness rating. These are all important qualities for gaming, and make both the 55″ and 65″ models excellent choices.
At under $1,000 the 55″ model is a terrific buy.

Again, another great monitor deal from LG. 27″ might be a little smaller than what some gamers want, but 4K at just over $300 is none too shabby.
The two console bundles are fantastic, though. A PS4 Pro costs $399 regularly, but here you can get it bundled with Watch Dogs 2 and Street Fighter V for the same amount.
You can find some Xbox One S bundles for $299 right now, but this is the first I’ve seen with the excellent Deus Ex: Mankind Divided.
Basically, if you pick up the 55″ KS8000 and the PS4 Pro bundle, you’ll have a great 4K/HDR setup and two games for under $1500. Sure, that’s still a lot of money, but it’s a lot cheaper than buying these items at MSRP.
I’ll update this post with other great eBay deals as they come in.
