Every "Black Friday" sale ever

(Also: when did "Black Friday" last from November to January? ๐Ÿค”)

When manufactures started making black Friday specific items. They are cheaper and worse quality than average, designed to look like but offer lower tiers of high demand products. TVs are a great example, they make versions of regular TVs that are worse quality but look like the year round product. Made to be sold during sales. But of course that creates a floating stock of stuff that will never sell for the price of the regular product, and also have to be made and ship a bit before the actual sale dates, extending the sale over time.

For sales on Amazon you can check the price history on Keepa. They have a browser extension but avoid it, it's problematic privacy wise.
