Black Friday/Cyber Monday Question

[RAM555789]

With Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales coming up next month I was wondering what kind of prices drops you guys have seen in your past experiences shopping. Is it only certain products line SSDs and GPUs or do you see drops across the board?

Now that block chain isn't as popular, I can see graphics card going as low as 35% off. Maybe 50% off on SSD's.

@RAM555789 don't you have a website in your country that show you the prices across multiple stores, so you can see where's the cheaper one?

In Europe almost every country has such website, and they have a price history graph that you can see what were the prices every day, and going back to the last BlackFriday, the prices drop considerably ... 

 

 

Maybe you can track that

You can try to use Wayback Machine to check sale pricing. Or watch LTT video for US drops.

Just google Black Friday 2019, they always leak the ads ahead of time. You may not see every e-retailer but it will still give you a good idea of what you can expect.

And across entire Europe. geizhals.eu is one of most useful ones. If not for anything else, you can find stuff that you couldn't otherwise by "googling".

This year will be the worst weve seen, for the US in the tech sector, as the Tariffs are going to greatly impact the "low low" prices we typically see.  At this point I see previous generation products that can be sold at a very low price will be, but for new tech that costs more to bring into this country - there just isn't as much room in the price margin to go super low and still remain competitive and profitable.  

 

I think we may see some impressive sales on previous generation stuff though to keep the Black Friday "clicks for revenue" happening

Depends on the year, really. Some years are really good (always seems to be the ones where my bonus cash is tied up in other ventures) and others have been pretty shit. Last year there were excellent deals on the last gen Ryzen products, I imagine we'll see more of that this year. SSDs are already pretty low, so I don't think you'll really see amazing sales on those, and if you're in the US tariffs will likely affect any other deals. Especially if they do end up raising the tariff to 30%. Which, I find hilarious.
