Hi! My name is Witold (pronounced "vee-told") and I am the founder of BlackerFriday.com. After many years working in corporate america, I decided it was time to take a break to pursue my real passion — helping people save money. Ever since I was a little boy selling pencils in the playground to my kindergarden friends, later collecting aluminum cans from all my neighbors in elementary school to support my baseball card addiction, eventually becoming an eBay Power Seller in my older years to support my college education, I had an eye for spotting deals. I’ve taken what I have learned over the years and built Blacker Friday to bring you the best Black Friday rumors, predictions, and news website. Fortunately I'm not alone in this - We have a great team of dedicated folks helping make this site possible.

Updated on Thursday, November 20, 2025: Music & Arts Black Friday 2025 sale is officially here. The event kicked off today, and this year’s deals are among the best we’ve seen. So if you’re planning to shop for student or intermediate-level instruments, or you’re looking to save on music lessons, pro audio, or accessories, then here’s everything you need to know about this year’s sale.
