Batesville, In. — A report from consumerworld.org/ says Black Friday shoppers may have been victims of a new tactic-products produced specifically for the holiday shopping event.
The report says the 55-inch Samsung 4K TVs that sold for $499 weren’t televisions that sold for $999 before Black Friday, they were manufactured expressly for the holiday sale. The report says the TVs have fewer HDMI inputs and stripped down remotes. The quality is not reduced, but the company takes steps to reduce the cost of production.
Samsung placed a suggested retail price of $699. Most major retailers sold the set for $499 on Black Friday.
