Products that are not bad enough to remove from assembly/stock but not as good as the average item.
I guess one can't generalise for all items on sale but there seems to be an element of luck in picking up the right quality product.
I do not know about the quality .... but I see products like laptops with lower configuration ( for example a lap top comes with 4 GP RAM instead of 6 GB when in normal price) , with low speed processors than regular ones which many customers either don't know or do not care or products of older versions or models that were stopped for further production ( GPS, Tablets etc)
I was not looking @ but was following up on TVs ( per my other thread ) and what I observed & posted , most of the latest 3D / smart TVs from major brands were available in 240Hz @ deal price ...
Sure there were some lower configuration ones also - 60 Hz ones .... but that's where your analysis and timeliness comes in .... I am sure in laptops also , there would be some real deals , though few and only for early worm catchers ...
Electronics on Boxing Day - nearly all of the hot deals are finished by 26th morning and those not so hot ones remain later during the days .....
Just to add on IPad and Ipad mini were both @ 100/- - 60/- gift card discount @ Target and guess what .. it finished soon .....
There was a Toshiba 50" 120Hz LED TV for $500/- and finished in 5 mins ..... 32 GB micro sd card / sd card for $13/- .... Get me the price any of the regular days / events throughout the year and I will conceded that Boxing Day is passe .
