I periodically keep tabs on new HDD prices in my area. Black Friday hasn’t had the same deep discounts it once did.

black friday died when it became a normie holiday for sales. part of the reason why black friday worked before hand was that buyers are 100% aware of the product theyre buying and how much it is valued. anythings a “sale” if you’re selling it to an audience that doesn’t know what it was normally priced.

When stores started marking up the “regular” price to hit bigger percentages is about when I started price tracking things I knew I’d buy later down the road. Looking at you, Best Buy!

My favorite story about best buy is in the late 90’s early 2000’s, a family member gifted me a $20 gift card to best buy, which unbeknownst to them, I had stopped shopping at because it got too expensive and I started buying from newegg instead. Anyway, I walk in and am thinking 'well I don’t really need anything big right now, likens full PC, laptop, etc. Maybe I’ll just get a DVD’s or something. Even with a $20 gift card, Best buy prices were so marked up, they were either still more expensive, or the same price as other stores. I think other stored were selling DVD’s at like $15 (none new-releases) and best buy was $35. I’m shocked they’re still around to be honest.
