While everyone may be scrambling to retail stores to get their new TV or laptop on Black Friday, eBay has a lot of awesome online tech deals that everyone planning to pick up a new gadget for the holidays can't miss.
What's more, a lot of these deals are available right now, so if you can't wait for Black Friday or have no stomach for braving the surging crowds, sit back on your couch and enjoy the convenience of shopping for great deals over the Internet.
Smartphones
A 32 GB Samsung Galaxy S6 is now available on eBay for only $399, probably the best deal you can get for the device. Keep in mind though that it's a manufacturer refurbished smartphone that is locked to Verizon. Still, the deal is so hot right now that the seller has run out of the gold and white versions and the phone is available only in black. If you're okay with not having the newest smartphones, a 32 Samsung Galaxy Note 3, a decent 5.7-inch phablet with a Full HD display and 13-megapixel camera is also available for $185.
Other Android devices currently up for sale is an unlocked AT&T 32 GB HTC One M9, which is now available for $350. It's not the best smartphone HTC has made, but for its price, you'll still get a good deal with a so-so 20-megapixel camera, 3 GB RAM and Dolby Audio surround sound. A brand new, factory unlocked 32 GB Sony Xperia Z5 with dual-SIM capabilities is also available with 24 percent off its original price, or for $604.
And if you're more of an iPhone user than an Android fan, a factory unlocked 16 GB iPhone 5s refurbished by the seller is available for only $220. Currently, Apple sells the two-year-old smartphone for the premium price of $499, so $219 is quite a steal. A 16 GB iPhone 5c is available for $148, and it looks like it's selling better than hotcakes. Meanwhile, if you want to go really dirt-cheap, the 8 GB iPhone 4, which Apple has stopped selling, is available for only $45.
Laptops
The 15-inch MacBook Pro is available right now for $1,799, or $499 off its retail price, which is a much better deal than what you'll find elsewhere. This is the 2015 model with Retina display, Intel Core i7 and 256 GB of storage.
If you're looking for something lighter on the pocket, the HP Envy with a huge 17.3-inch touchscreen display, Intel Core i7 and 1 TB of storage is only $679 right now. A brand new 15.6-inch HP laptop with Intel Celeron, 4 GB of RAM and 15 GB storage is much cheaper at $319, but it also runs on Windows 10. Acer is also offering a dual-core Chromebook with Intel Celeron processor, 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB hard drive for $139.
Tablets
A new, open-box Apple iPad Air with 9.7-inch Retina display and 16 GB of storage is available for $180 off its original price, bringing it down to just $319. It's a first-generation Wi-Fi only model and is available only in space gray. Meanwhile, the new iPad mini 3, also an open-box item, is available for $429. For its price, you get 128 GB of storage and a Wi-Fi and cellular model unlocked for all carriers.
The Surface Pro 3 with 256 GB SSD storage and an Intel i5 processor is also available with Windows 8.1 for $980. Meanwhile, the Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga with 12.5-inch full HD display, Intel Core i7, 8 GB RAM and 256 GB SSD storage is available for $1,139, or $610 off its original selling price.
Cameras
There's a brand new Nikon D5200 digital SLR on sale for only $450, an awesomely good deal considering the original price is $1,100. The older Nikon D3200 is also on sale for $370, which is down $270 from its original price of $700.
Meanwhile, the GoPro HERO with a waterproof body and a head strap is available for $220, down from its price of $400.
TVs
When you're done taking videos on your discounted GoPro, or if you just want to sit back and binge on Netflix movies in full 4K glory, a 55-inch Samsung Ultra HDTV is available for $1,129, a price which eBay says is slightly lower than the current sale price for the item. However, if 4K isn't your cup of tea, and you think full HD is just as good, Vizio offers a couple of 24-inch 1080p smart LED TVs for $169 and $125. They're not as high-end as the 4K TV from Samsung, but then at least perhaps you'll still have some money left for this full-body shiatsu massage chair available for $700 (down from $2,500) so you can really sit back and enjoy your TV marathons.
