Was Black Friday Worth All The Hype? by JKisOK(op): 9:17pm On Nov 26, 2016
I just called a Friend, who is General Manager of a company and very IT-savvy. When I asked him about BLACK FRIDAY, he hissed. He told me it was an anti-climax. The popular companies completely lost the spirit of this concept imported from UK, EU and USA. Many of the sellers "did 419." They jacked up prices beyond normal and announced percentage reductions... no real bargains at all. At the end of the day, you ended up buying an item for its same old price, with virtually no price reduction. Is this true? Please, share your BLACK FRIDAY experience.

Re: Was Black Friday Worth All The Hype? by Tolzeal(m):
I regretted waiting for Black Friday to pick up some offers.

That Moment Jumia and Konga Be like :-

Original Price : # 99,500
Black Friday Price : #99,400

The remaining #100 is the MB price.

WTF undecided

Black Friday is only meant for Americans, you can buy an iPhone 7 for $500 which was originally $1000


For Nigerians, it's not worth it

But in the USA, you can buy a 50 inch T.V for just $150 but you have to go to the stores, and the only way you can buy anything without fighting is to go on Thursday night and buy stuffs, if you wait till Friday, you will fight till your last breath to buy just one item

I'm not foolish enough to go to black Fridays

People fighting at Walmart for $100 off

These people don't even know about cyber Monday when you can get 70% off of any purchase

Re: Was Black Friday Worth All The Hype? by Realist5:
Black Friday is a concept stolen and adopted by some companies in Nigeria to milk those gullible people that believe in it dry.
As such, the following are the features of Black Friday in Nigeria:

Black Friday is Overrated
Black Friday is False
Black Friday is a deceit
Black Friday is a Scam
Black Friday is Corruption
Black Friday is Fraudulent
Black Friday is Reckless
Black Friday is a Trick

Believe Black Friday at YOUR RiSK.

Re: Was Black Friday Worth All The Hype? by sofadj(m): 7:28am On Nov 27, 2016
What is black Friday?


Is it the day stores trick people to buy things they don't need OR
the day many cheap substandard goods are pushed out to unsuspecting greedy customers OR
the day prices are returned to normal after previously increasing them to make them look like they've become cheaper?


I will start doing black Friday deals when they start giving out those goods freely.

Before, who is going to sell below cost price. Did black friday buy d goods for dem... Black Friday is a scam... You are buying the normal price if not more. Forget the deceitful discount
Re: Was Black Friday Worth All The Hype? by TVTKOKO(m): 7:29am On Nov 27, 2016
Pure scam! Something that sells at maybe 20k before, the foools would now put the previous price at 40k and then slash it down to the normal 20k so it looks like you're buying it cheap..
Then some over sabies would be like 'i bought this, i bought that @red Friday' mtcheeeew
