    Sales are incredibly offputting if you think about them. You’ve been overcharging people this whole time and this is a real price? I doubt they are selling for a loss the vast majority of the time.

      The “true meaning”* of Black Friday is clearing out old stock that didn’t sell and getting it off the books before the New Year.

      You used to be able to get some decent deals, but now it’s just warmed over crap produced specially to be sold at a discount.

      *This is meant in a parallel to the feeling of “the true meaning of Christmas”. Not the literal meaning.
