akuperma,
Black Friday has absolutely NOTHING to do with kratzmach. Noone is buying washing machines as presents as stocking stuffers, yet Sears has a Black Friday deal.
Black Friday, as the name suggests, is when companies who are in the RED from a whole year of poor sales hope to cash in and get into the BLACK. From a negative balance sheet to a positive one. They create this whole hype. They probably hire the first few people to camp outside their stores two weeks an advance, not because they care about what gift you’re buying your mother-in-law, but because they need to balance their books.
Now a kratzmach sale is another story altogether.
