A gaming laptop that I purchased on sale in February this year on Amazon is listed as a Black Friday deal at the same price point: $599

Companies make product lines specifically for Black Friday so they can save on the sales.

I’m sure you know, but I want to add to this in case others do not.

These product lines are usually really poor quality. They might look like the original and have a similar model number, but a TV, for example, will have less ports, lower resolution screen, or a lower quality screen.

So, if it is an electronic, look up the model number and if you can’t see a lot of reviews for it, then this is why.

I mean, there’s still a ton of deals at a time when you’re shopping for gifts. The article is saying that of the black friday deals, these aren’t the lowest prices of the entire year for most items, but they’re still lower than normal.

As a vinyl collector, I see labels and stores offering flat 20% off deals off everything which you don’t see that often. Also seeing other types of deals on other direct to consumer brands.

If you know what you’re looking for, and not looking at black friday deals to look for what to look for, I think it’s a pretty good time to do shopping.
