Dunno. I get the idea. But it's not like Black Friday is the only scam. Cyber Monday is the same crap. Just like Prime day.
(And most of the other days too, when the price is actually the same as on these "holidays", but without the fanfare)
- mulmen 2y agoI don’t follow. There’s lots of discounts on Black Friday. Are you suggesting the prices have been inflated so with the discount it’s “normal” price? How is Black Friday a “scam”?

- lovich 2y agoThat or it’s different skus and lower quality product that was binned just for black friday
- birdiesanders 2y agoThis literally is the method of pricing used on Amazon and many other retailers, raise the price 20% and then offer a 15% discount is actually common as well.
- mindslight 2y agoIf you're just buying things without knowing the general price of them, then Black Friday is the least of your problems. And no I don't mean just checking Camel^3, which is also thoroughly gamed.
- xnx 2y agoI love camelcamelcamel. How is it gamed? I trust it when I see a long and varied price history of an item.
- mindslight 2y agoCoupon codes, exclusive pricing (business, prime, etc), different product listings - all not reflected in the history AFAICT. Never mind that for many products, Amazon has consistently high prices. CCC is handy, but it's just one data point.
- Fire-Dragon-DoL 2y agoSo, what's the expectation. People can't know the price of everything, checking software seems a good approach
