1. MOST things on sale are not worth buying at any price.
2. The sale price is closer to the actual market value of the item. Instead of viewing sales as a boon from retailers, it's more accurate to view retailers as price gouging the rest of the year, or charging a convenience fee to not have to wait for a sale.
3. It's commonplace these days for retailers to simply lie about normal prices in order to pretend an item is on sale, when in fact it is simply being sold at the normal price. That TV is always $300, but today it's "<strikethrough>$500</strikethrough>$300 (40% off!)".

You're making the point that Black Friday/Cyber Monday etc. are not scams, but are in fact the most reasonable time of the year to buy things. 3. Well then it really doesn't matter when you buy it, so Black Friday is as good a day as any.
