Is Black Friday the best time for deals on tablets?

Black Friday can offer good deals across a wide range of products. However, that rarely means these are the best prices you can find all year. Price trends can fluctuate throughout the year depending on the brand, when new models are being released, and other factors. This means Black Friday tablet deals might not actually be the best value for money.

The average discount on Black Friday is 37% off the RRP. When you shop at Back Market, you can expect average discounts of anywhere between 15% and 50%, depending on the product you want. So, even on Black Friday, tablets may still be cheaper on Back Market. Do your research before grabbing what looks like the best deal – you may find that it is not the case.

Back Market offers you a stress-free buying experience all year round, thus avoiding the crowds and panic buyers looking for Black Friday deals on tablets and other tech.

Rather than wasting hours comparing sales prices on one day of the year, you can rest assured that you’re getting a great price whatever time you buy with Back Market. 

Black Friday can also tempt people into making purchases they don’t really need, luring shoppers in with false promises of great discounts.

Plus, buying refurbished is the environmentally responsible choice – less e-waste and less impact on the planet.

Black Friday prices may seem like the best deals; however, a study in 2022 found that 98% of Black Friday prices were not actually at the cheapest that those products had been available at, looking six months either side of the sale. In fact, many retailers artificially raise prices prior to the Black Friday sales to make their discounts seem higher. Prices also fluctuate at different times of year, so if you’re looking to buy a new tablet, Black Friday may not be the best time to do so.
