A lot of the deals on Black Friday are actually cheaper quality products. A TV specially made to be cheaper than the regular model. Less HDMI ports, lower quality parts. And the item/model number is slightly different.
This is very noticeable on Amazon especially. So many “deals” from budget brands or one-off Chinese brands that nobody has never heard of. This is especially noticeable on Prime Day too.
That’s undoubtedly true in general, but there are exceptions. For example:
It’s a little hard to tell just looking at specifications without directly comparing in person, but I think the Costco Black Friday-specific version of the Roland FP-10 digital piano actually manages to be better than the normal version (even before you consider that it’s cheaper and comes with a bunch of accessories). Specifically, it has 128 voice polyphony instead of the regular 96, and the only other difference I can find is that it advertises “a custom selection of tones curated by Roland and Costco exclusively for the FRP-2-ACR,” which I hope doesn’t mean they’re worse.

That’s why I love deal communities like Slickdeals, if the deal sucks someone will be calling it out
