Amazon Black Friday: 99% of all deals are rubbish – the 50 top sellers

Less is sometimes more, but that probably doesn’t apply to Amazon’s Black Friday week, as hundreds of thousands of products are being offered at lower prices. There is often a lot of Chinese junk and many of the products on offer in the low euro range also ensure that there are many offers but only very few top-class deals. Now that Black Friday has been running at Amazon since November 18, 2022, we took a look at what has been bought particularly frequently since then. The 50 top sellers are therefore an indication of which deals most users find particularly attractive. So let the list inspire you if you are considering purchasing a product yourself or are still looking for an inexpensive Christmas present. Above all, Amazon products such as Fire TV Stick 4K Max and Echo Dot are among the absolute top sellers again this year. Below you will find targeted deal lists from PCGH on topics such as SSDs.

An overview of Amazon devices on Black Friday

The various Amazon products are already frequently represented in the top sellers. Here you will find a clear list of all Amazon devices. The Echo Dot in particular is very popular alongside the Fire TV Stick 4K Max. However, many users are very critical of the Echo Dot for data protection reasons, after all, the device is constantly listening. Therefore, this is not a very suitable Christmas present if the person in question is rather sensitive. However, the convenience of the smart speakers ensures that the devices can be found and purchased in more and more living rooms, and not only on Black Friday.

Black Friday: Where to Check Prices?

With all Black Friday deals, of course, you shouldn’t always strike blindly, but should compare the prices before you buy. Each price comparison also offers a history of the last prices, so you can check whether you really save a lot of money or whether the supposed offer price is actually valid for almost the whole year. For research, we recommend the PCGH price comparison.

Which stores have good Black Friday deals?

Anyone interested in PC hardware is certainly at alternates, Caseking and Mindfactory In good hands. If you are planning to buy larger devices such as TVs, you should MediaMarkt and Saturn look closer. Also ebay is good for a surprise every year, because there are often voucher codes for a large part of the offer.

Will prices continue to fall after Black Friday?

You probably have the best chance of getting good deals before Christmas on Black Friday. However, if you are on the lookout for specific products that are not currently discounted, there is a good chance that there will be other sales where your desired product is discounted. In some cases, it is also quite the case that there will be further price reductions after Black Friday if the manufacturers were not able to sell their stock as planned.
