What to
look out
for when

Even days before the start, companies like
Amazon, Apple or Saturn are
luring people
with rich deals.
Some providers have declared a whole "Black Week" or, like Amazon, a "Cyber Week".
Media Markt
even advertises with an entire “Black November”.
Amazon has also been advertising its numerous “Black Friday” and lowest price offers since the end of October.
But are the alleged "hot deals" really worth it for customers?
"Black Friday" offers on Amazon, Apple and Co .: do not have direct access
This question cannot be
answered so easily with yes or no
, neither for
online retail
nor for
stationary retail
.
It doesn't just depend on the retailer, but also on the respective
offer
.
If products are advertised on Amazon, Apple, Saturn and Co. on “Black Friday” with “Now 70 percent cheaper”, customers should listen carefully, but not take advantage of it.

Some providers have even set up special
“Black Friday” landing pages
.
If retailers have raised the prices before their discount campaign, only to be able to present them as significantly cheaper afterwards, the “top offers” often no longer hide good deals, but rather so-called
discount traps
.

"Black Friday" lures with offers: tip for bargain hunting at Amazon, Apple and Co.
Stay
realistic
when
hunting
for
bargains
at Amazon, Apple, Saturn and Co.!
High-tech offers that are
suddenly offered 70 or even 80 percent cheaper
on
Black Friday
are usually not really good offers.
Sometimes the prices were raised significantly before the discount campaign, sometimes countless negative user reviews show that a product is not really well received by customers.
Discounts
of 20 to 30 percent are within a range that you can expect on Black Friday without having to fear a catch.

Hence the
tip
: Don't just buy straight away, just because high percentages lure you to “Black Friday” with “unbeatable offers”.
Think carefully about what you really need and start now to compare the price and see how it develops in the
"Black Friday" week
.
Then nothing stands in the way of a real bargain in the discount week.
