Commerce is mad these days. Either a race to the top, profit-sucking monopoly, a race to the bottom, to give stuff/services away --- just so long as we aren't getting them from someone else.

Or both.

Not that I object to a good bargain, of course!

Yeah I don't think anyone objects to a good deal either :P But when people start buying mostly during sales, companies abuse this by inflating MSRP to try moving huge volumes during "sales" (where the "sale" price is usually the price it's really worth).

It's tiresome, and I'm starting to appreciate companies that just don't play the game (like schiit) and just sell good value products at the price they're worth.

It's satisfying sometimes hunting/waiting for a good deal, but Black Friday is just stupid anymore. Schiit has it right.

I forget the details, but it was a day on which really bad economic things happened, right? Bit weird to celebrate it.

No, it's the day that their budgets go from red to black. As in finally profitable.

It's their financials rather than their budgets. Sorry, accounting OCD kicking in.
