Shopper who can’t wait until Black Friday to get in on the deals don’t have to hold off any longer. Online retailer eBay (EBAY) is offering shoppers a “Better than Black Friday” sale that promises to match or beat its competitor’s sale prices.

Not sure who competes with eBay? Try Target, Walmart, Macy’s, Kohl’s, JCPenney, BJ's Wholesale and Costco on for size as this is the main competition for the e-commerce site.

While eBay has a large array of products that it will be slashing prices on, these tech deals are the real focus of Black Friday or before in this case. Customers will have to act fast if they want to get in on the 32-inch Samsung Smart LED HDTV with 720 p resolution, selling for $175. This is a $4 savings over Target’s price. Also matching Target prices is the Google Chromecast 2nd generation HD Smart Media Streamer with voice command, selling for $24.99. This is 50 percent off of eBay’s regular price.

Consumers will find new tech deals every day including the Nest Thermostat E that is selling for $119.99. This is a $20 savings over Target’s listed price. Other tech sale items include Apple AirPods for $149 - $10 saving over Target prices – and the Call of Duty Black Ops 4 game for $43.99 – a small $1.01 saving over Target prices. This game will be available on Saturday at 8 a.m. PST.

“Black Friday is all about the amazing deal that can’t be found anywhere else, except now you can. eBay customers will have advanced access to some of the lowest prices this season right now,” he added.
