Are we allowed to talk about this? I feel like we need a thread of great Black Friday deals. Most of what I am seeing is notreally deals. Youse?

Have to be careful. Companies have figured out how to exploit BF. They now produce a lot of products (TVs for example) just for BF. Lower quality and missing a few key features but at a “great” price. This formula has been around a while. Outlets used to have real bargains too. Now, not so much.
It’s not new thing either. I remember getting super pumped about buying a Nikon camera from Target for what I thought was like $200 off MSRP like 10 years ago.
I bought it - few months later go to look for firmware updates - the camera doesn’t even exist on Nikons website. It was a specific model made for a single year to sell only at Target locations for black Friday. Now that’s some sneaky shish.
Correct ,most of these will have an additional model indicator if you look.
When I worked at the now defunct Microsoft store they just pressed higher prices immediately leading up to BF on items they needed to get rid of. Then the deals looked great come BF. But the vast majority of the deals were just shitty things that never sold.
