I said the same thing to my sister two days ago. If their annual profit turns from red to black during Black Whatever, couldn't they make even greater profit selling at these prices year-round?

That may have been the case 70 years ago but not anymore. Black Friday used to be a way for brick and mortar stores to clear out overstocked merchandise. Most of these items were clothing, jewelry, furniture, decor items, toys, etc that was very high markup back in those times and even at slashed prices the store was still making a decent profit on the item. Today with internet shopping and efficient inventory control pricing is at near cut throat pricing every day and not a lot of room for massive price cuts. Today's retailers certainly are not in the red until black Friday either and IMO that was largely a myth even back then with some exceptions for maybe very small mom and pop owned specialty stores. I find it interesting that Amazon has an awful lot of "Black Friday Deals" where the prices are the same as their usual prices LOL.

Noco's a top name in jump starters. I just bought the GB70 for $123, a few weeks ago I was looking at it for $199. There are youtube vids of a guy starting several cars that had been sitting for months with no batteries in them.

I got my son a set of NOCOs and they have worked great when he had a parasitic drain somewhere in his car which killed the battery often.

He doesn't use it much now that we finally found it, but it cranked his little rice burner multiple times on a charge, I'm talking from dead ass outta juice.

What you and Sigfrieund said. It still is, manufacturers give the retailers a deep discount on very large orders......to get old models out of the inventory before year end and make room for the new models to be built.

Take Samsung for example. I'm sure they'll offer Costco 50 semi trucks of TV's for a better price....Notice that some models are deeply discounted and others in their lineup are not.......this clears out their warehouses in the U.S. of models they've changed or dropped, makes room for new models that are probably already on ships heading this way.
