As the year comes to a close, the biggest bargain event is approaching: Black Friday 2023. TECHBOOK presents the best deals and reveals what you should watch out for when making a purchase.
Just in time for the pre-Christmas season, the Black Friday bargain event takes place, where tech fans can really get their money’s worth and save significantly. On this day, there are plenty of sales at popular online shops such as Amazon, MediaMarktSaturn, eBay, and others. However, not everything that seems cheap is a top bargain. Below, you’ll find the top pre-offers selected by the TECHBOOK editorial team. The sale includes projectors, consoles, Echo devices, smartphones, etc.
Important to know: High percentages do not necessarily mean a high-quality tech offer. Often, the starting price is aligned with the manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) to make the discount appear particularly attractive. However, other retailers often offer the device at similar or even lower prices. Therefore, TECHBOOK only considers offers that provide the lowest price among all retailers.

What to Watch Out for on Black Friday
As a reference price, we do not take the MSRP (manufacturer’s suggested retail price) but the lowest known price of the past 12 months, according to Idealo*. This way, TECHBOOK determines whether the promotion is really worth it or if the product was significantly cheaper before. Many offers on Black Friday are not “real” bargains.
Consumer advocates also advise users not to jump on all deals. Among other things, you should keep a cool head and always compare offers. You should also watch out for fake shops. For more tips on what to watch out for on Black Friday, visit TECHBOOK.
