Black Friday not as good this year (2020)
#1
Am I going crazy or is black friday not as good this year. I swear in previous years things have gotten cheaper but all the memes about raising prices before black friday 2020 are honestly true. 

Such a scam imho.

yeah prices have gone up not many good deals



#4
I mean to be fair, the economy in the United States, at least, dropped hella. So im guessing prices are higher this year when compared to other years just because COVID has really made budget's tight for businesses



#5
I play a lot of videogames and yeah, some of the sales are meh at best. Switch eshop has decent ones though



#6
This is my first Black Friday (just got my first job), and I managed to get a Switch + game for €320. Generally a Switch by itself goes for that price here, so I think it was a pretty good deal. But I haven't seen any crazy deals.

They usually do that, the previous weeks they rise the price by a percent and, when the time arrives, they say "Ey it's the cheapest time now" but it's not... 

There are some websites that helps you to track prices from some products but, from my point of view this year has been rough for everyone  so I understand the "scammy" prices

Yeah not great.. looking at an online PC retailer offering 25 bucks off laptops and desktops which cost at least hundreds, if not 1000+
Not really had a look around Amazon but would love for someone to prove me wrong.



#9
My biggest issue is everything being sold out. Makes it harder to buy gifts for the holidays.



#10
TBH What you expect with a worldwide pandemic?



#11
More expensive than a few months back on some items I've found



#12
Businesses have reduced capacity limits, meaning they can't cram in customers, meaning they can't offer "door buster deals." The black friday logic never made any sense anyways, and they've been expanding the sales into Thursday and Saturday for years.



#13
Yeah prices were way to high for me, honestly probably was tge worst one in the past few years.

It was really bad this year.



#15
Yeah production stalled so consumers buy less too. Businesses are doing what they can to stay afloat



#16
Game theory has made it a year round/random time type of thing and less so on the day. especially for electronics



#17
Didnt even bother getting anything



#18
tvs were going cheap



#19
best deals were on 11/11 instead of BF honestly



#20
Yeah black friday has become pretty shitty
