[QUOTE="Sethamus, post: 913197, member: 71999"] It stems from the increased consumer purchasing during the holiday months. Where companies would begin to be in the black on their accounting sheets after a slow summer season. It has been around a long time and evolved since I worked at Circuit City in 2007. Typically you see a slight run up of prices a month or two ahead so the additional 10% off doesn't actually affect the revenue as much. As well of having specific models for sale that are a lower cost but marketed as an equal to the regular model. Ex. - They would have specific model TVs set aside for the big sales on Black Friday that were very similar...but imo cheaper part and picture quality. Same reason we could not price match walmart TVs back in 2007. Same TV to the average consumer but different model numbers. For someone who looked for small differences every day selling them it was noticeable. [/QUOTE]
