Well thats the con of black friday,you are buying things at a perceived lower value, the only real black Friday sales are the ones in store in the US but due to covid those have been suspendedDMan7 wrote:Nothing isn't on sale that isn't already marked up before Black Friday or there wasn't a huge demand for them and this "sale" is a way of finally getting rid of them.

Not really got a dji mini combo for 299..DMan7 wrote:Amazon is a waste, selling things same prices as before Black Friday sales and notorious for markups before markdown during Black Friday sales too. Waste of time.

I saw a laptop on Amazon go from $680 to $560 for a few hrs Thursday night... sold out, and then the scalpers started selling it for $799 Fri, Sat, Sun. Because it was a 'Top Selling' device at $680, Amazon continued to list it as 'Top Selling' at the scalped $799 price. Sure they made a killing. It's back down to its $680 price now. Feel sorry for the poor sods who got fooled and bought the thing for $120 more during "BFCM" madness.
highly suspect the similar stuff happens down here.
Min. Consumer Affairs should be looking into that.

The local retailer probably had to source forex and ship abs didn’t get the item necessarily at the same price . What does the ombudsman abs consumer affairs have to do with his price if the quality of the item is normal and the buyer isn’t seeking a warranty issues ?

Yup, the Famous Francis Fashions Fake Sale scam.
Should be a consumer protection issue.
