Thousands of online retailers will discount their stock for Cyber Monday — the online version of Black Friday — now in its sixth year.
Last year, Cyber Monday sales topped $1 billion in the United States, making it the biggest day for online retail to date.

Online sales this past Friday were up 24.3% compared to last year, according to an IBM survey of 500 retailers.
