First up, Firefox's newest version is making my computer crazy and I hate it.
Now, let's talk about AG's CM offerings:
The sale went up yesterday at 5PM CST, with sale prices showing up around 4:30 CST. If you were/are a Rewards Member, you could shop the sale. This basically meant the international members (and Canada!) were hosed.
As for the sale itself, please see gif above. The dress I wanted:
never appeared. It's friend the weird color-block dress did:

but no sign of the outfit people actually wanted.
Since that is 100% why I showed up for the sale, I did not allow myself to go nuts and instead limited myself to two items:
Logan's Performance Outfit and this former PWP:
Now, let's discuss what else popped up. Because this sale is... weird? I know every year I kind of hype myself up and every year there's something that goes awry, but this year I can't tell if it's simply my interest and funds are at a relative low or if it's just that this sale was pretty meh.
On the one hand, a fair amount of interesting BeForever stuff is available. If you're into Kit or just her stuff, her desk is on a really good sale and it's a piece I'd recommend to anyone. Like it's just awesome as it is, even if you have no real interest in dolls. Miniature desk love! ♥ But I have it already so there's that. Kit's radio set is on sale and had Logan's outfit not also been on sale, I probably would have gone for it because I've been wanting it but not at the price they ask for it. Her reporter set is also on sale, but at this point I think it would be easier to find a CM/Daily Deals time when it wasn't on sale. So I'm 99.99999% sure I own it already.
Maryellen's punch set is on sale and if I had more money, or Amazon would price match it, I'd be all over it. Ditto her Living Room set, although that I might just skip simply due to space. I like it though. Her diner is also on sale for a spectacular price but I haven't the funds, the space, or the desire so I'm safe there. Her hairstyling kit is on sale as is her school set, but I'm not in the mood for either so still firmly in the "eh" stage.
Addy's School Outfit and her Christmas dress are both up for grabs, as is her lunch set but I own all three. Melody's playoutfit and her hairstyling set are on sale, but knowing that if I happened to live closer to a store I could've gotten that outfit for $10 but now they want me to pay more and pay shipping is vexing. I was willing to do so for Logan's because I like it more, but it ticked me off then, too.
Rebecca's movie dress continues to show up for sales, as do Josefina's summer outfit and her heirloom accessories though the latter might've finally sold out.
Gabby's rehearsal outfit (again, cheaper in store) and her tap shoes showed up and I considered both. Saige's necklace continues to linger, but last night it was $1 and now it's $2, but I own it at least twice over now so... I'm good.
Various shoes that had I more money or had the black dress shown up in the sale, I might've caved for are also around, as are various outfits that I'm not sure were available online previously. I did seriously consider getting Julie's skates and the white sparkle hat but the price along with the other two things I was getting put me over my budget and I'm still holding out for that blasted dress. Mebbe tonight?
Basically, it had a fair amount of interesting things but none of the prices compelled me to throw caution to the wind and buy recklessly. This is a good thing but it feels very anti-Cyber Monday. If you're interested in the sale, two things that might sweeten the pot: 1) if you spend $100+ you do get a flat rate of $5.95 shipping (what this company has against free shipping, I will never know) and also you get double rewards points on your purchase. That one is actually a really nice bonus if you're on the fence, so long as they do actually award you your points. If today did not happen to be CM, I would call and bitch them out for not having called me back or bothered to fix my account in points or email receiving capabilities. But it is, so I guess I wait.
Tomorrow starts the sea of Daily Deals from AG, so here's hoping the black dress shows up tonight. If memory serves, Daily Deals go through Dec 9th this year, so there's that.
