Black Friday in Finland had normal discounts. Many electronic stores increased their prices a month ago. So the price discount showed larger.
But it was "Scam Friday" from my perspective.

That's not all that uncommon.
Disappointing, but perhaps calling it a scam is pushing it a bit.
But I agree with you, it does cross the ethics lines at times.

They analyzed the data, and they increased the price about +30% before the Black Friday.

In Finland we have a Law. That every company has to show the prices from the previous 30 days.
But yes, not everybody is doing this, but here is very good example how this law shows this in this product:
https://jysk.fi/ruokailutila/ruokap...uoli-jonstrup-musta-keinonahka/luonntammenvar
Right know the price is 24,- € each.
Before the Black Friday and 30 days ago the price was: 30,- /€(-20%)
Normal price is: 59,99 /kpl (-60%)
But Jysks shop is responsible shop but electronics stores don't do this.

Very sick. I think in your country, the people are pissed about what they are doing. This kind of behavior doesn't improve the functioning of society. If people are screwed over at this level. It certainly affects them mentally in some way, when you can't trust anything.

The experts completely missed the mark because they underestimated how much AI tools and mobile apps are streamlining impulse buys.
That $11.8B record proves consumers will still spend if the friction is removed, so I wouldn't be surprised if Cyber Monday easily smashes the $14B prediction too.
