While you do need to be careful about this bullshit, things do actually often hit lows for black Friday sales. Particularly electronics.
But definitely double check SKUs. A lot of Black Friday products are more cheaply made than their usual counterparts, even if they outwardly seem like the same product.
I've read this for years but never personally seen it.
TVs are a classic example. I found luggage accidentally one time years ago. Was so poorly made I was shocked it hasn't disintegrated in transit. Immediately returned it. When I did some research, it looked like none had ever actually sold off that SKU until Black Friday, and they had a stupid price listed months before hand for that deep discount the day of.
