That’s why in (I think) whole Europe stores must say the lowest price of product in last 30 days.
That’s why you follow price history graphs.
Also, that’s illegal in Europe.
Bless Europe for real.
Don’t forget the “SPECIAL OFFER FOR A LIMITED TIME ONLY!!! ONLY 2 LEFT!!” in big red letters.
I used to work at a big computer store in England and this was a common scam. Throughout the year prices would creep up £10 here, £5 there… and come Black Friday all those increases would be removed **”Oh look aren’t we generous”.**
Black Friday is mostly a scam.
Black Friday is one big hoax. It should be forbidden.
Man ~~ this is why i love steamdb very much.
unless you lazy to search the price history.
you never fall to the trick like this.
~~$799.99~~
$519.99
Well at least where I am in Europe, most of the time I’m super jealous of US prices so you get awesome deals anyway the whole rest of the year.
I preshopped and then watched a GPS watch go up 50$ for “Black Friday Week”… Definitelysome predatory deals out there.
I feel this deeply. Been eyeing the LG 38wr85qc on Amazon and the lowest I’ve seen is $899 some months ago. It was $949 last week.
For Black Friday week it’s $999. Same at Best Buy too, and I highly doubt it will go lower.
i love that in my country some awesome people have set up free websites that track the prices of products over up to 2 years, so you can get a feel for if you are getting an acutal deal or not
Black Friday was and will always be a scam, just ignore it everyone
I thought this only happens in my 3rd world country.
In the Netherlands we have Tweakers.net to track price history of tech and give us genuine deals. It also has filters for pretty much everything, has reviews on many products, and has all tech news lined up on the homepage. Tweakers.net is the goat.
In germany, Geizhals.de is your friend. Always shows lowest price and other shops and also has a price history for everything listed
It should be 549.99 discount
Cyber Monday: $299.99
That’s why I use price trackers. Save the shit you want to buy, st the alert for when the price is lowest and forget about it.
This is thruth about price drops in the markets.
I’d say in 27 it probably cost $449.99 xd.
Isn’t that illegal?
How cool! I’ve only seen this meme 100 times this week and it keeps getting cooler!
Big savings!!!
Yes!! Do this because then you can sue them and get your money back 🙂
Yeah, I’m pretty skeptical that I actually saved even $50 at microcenter yesterday. Anything saying hundreds of dollars off is a lie.
For amazon stuff just use [https://camelcamelcamel.com/](https://camelcamelcamel.com/)
i only know this from europe is it the same in the usa?
I found a monitor and the price is so good

47% off ……… ^(RRP)
Checking the price of laptops, assembled desktops, GPUs, in Europe prices have never been so high during Black Friday. Lowest price of product is often fake, nobody cares or knows about this EU directive. You can save a few euros/dollars, but this BF is such a scam.
Report them for illegal marketing, so that they can get that 100 million dollar fine per item.
The FTC’s Guides Against Deceptive Pricing generally require that a seller offer an item at a price for a reasonable, substantial period of time in good faith, and in the regular course of business, before advertising that price as the former or regular price (16 C.F.R. § 233.1). The FTC considers it deceptive to offer an item for sale at a higher price for a short period of time in order to support a claim that an item is discounted when the price is then lowered. This practice is prohibited.
Of course enforcement is varied and depends on jurisdiction and whose on charge of the FTC.
Also a number of states have laws that ban the practice. California for example makes it illegal to raise the price to put a thing on sale, and had been fairly aggressive in enforcement of it
EXACTLY 💯
Price manipulation is a felony in EU
Americans being happy about being scammed all the time will never be not funny af. Freedom guys! 🇺🇲
