Oxylabs tracked public available pricing data from 9714 unique products using US locations.
Out of 4645 discounted tech products offered on Black Friday day , only 2786 met the main criterion — they were sold in the marketplace for at least 90 days during the observed 3-month period.
75% ( 2099 tech products in total) didn’t meet the main legal criterion — their advertised former prices were not regularly offered for a substantial period of time before the discount.
A recent study by originality.ai showed that during Black Friday , almost a third of product reviews from major ecommerce platforms, including Amazon , Best Buy , and Walmart , were likely AI-generated.
The European Commission inspected Black Friday sales, revealing that around 25% of price reduction announcements were inconsistent with EU law.
