Disclaimer:
We do not claim that all products offered as part of Black Friday promotions are inferior or different from regular models. The article shows only the common practices that take place in the market, and which may influence your choice. We encourage you to always carefully check product specifications, price history, and reviews before making a purchase to make an informed and profitable choice.
“Black Friday” is a day of massive discounts that attracts millions of shoppers. But, in addition to attractive prices, low-quality products are often hidden behind sales. Some brands produce so-called “derivative” technologies that resemble expensive models, but have simplified characteristics, such as a small number of HDMI ports or a weaker processor.
While most consumers know how to score good deals by knowing exactly where and when to look, or by setting up a price tracker, manufacturers and retailers also have a few tricks up their sleeves to help them turn a profit.
“I learned something when I repaired a Sharp TV that I bought used. […] It was made specifically for sale and had different internal hardware and firmware than a normal Sharp Aquos of the same size and identical appearance,” wrote one user on the network, shedding light on one of the secrets of “Black Friday “.
Sellers can also manipulate prices by raising them a month before a sale to create the illusion of discounts later. Sometimes products get new serial numbers, which makes it impossible to compare with other retailers. Consumers often experience a high rate of returns when shopping for electronics during Black Friday. The main reasons are product defects, impulsive purchases or inconsistency of characteristics with expectations.
Shopping on “Black Friday” is profitable, but only if you carefully analyze it. It is recommended to check the serial number of the product, read the reviews and compare the characteristics. A skeptical approach will help you avoid disappointment and purchase a quality product at an attractive price.
