You can’t escape it. Black Friday is almost here. But that’s not stopping online retailers from getting a head start at throwing discounts your way. Well, eBay is no exception.

Rolling out this week, eBay is introducing “Better than Black Friday” deals. It’s pretty self-explanatory really. The company is offering up tasty discounts that are, um, well, better than Black Friday prices. These include discounts on things like AirPods, TVs, gaming c0nsoles, and even a rare discount on Red Dead Redemption 2.

The gist of these deals is that eBay is giving holiday shoppers early access to Black Friday savings this week (as opposed to the day after Thanksgiving) by beating (and matching) Black Friday Deals ahead of the Thanksgiving weekend. Competitors include Target, Walmart, Macy’s, Kohl’s, JCPenney, BJ’s Wholesale and Costco.

The sad news is that these deals won’t be around for a long time. According to the company, these discounts will be available until November 18, rolling out at 5 a.m. PT / 8 a.m EST daily at ebay.com/BetterBlackFriday, available while supplies last.

Here are some of our favorite picks, but again, be sure to head on over to ebay.com/BetterBlackFriday for the complete list of deals.
