Doorbuster or dud?
Ten real deals from last Black Friday. Some were real. Some were never really the price. Make the call, then see the 90 days of prices behind the tag.
55-inch TV
Amazon, Black Friday 2025. Real deal, or a dud dressed up as one?
The 55-inch TV is a real deal.
Check a real one before Friday: paste an Amazon link into camelcamelcamel, or search the item on Google Shopping and look for the price history.
Three moves before you buy
Look up the price over the last 90 days. Paste an Amazon link into camelcamelcamel, or search the item on Google Shopping and look for the price history. Both are free.
A deal on something you weren’t going to buy isn’t saving money. It’s spending it.
Pick your total before Friday and stop when you hit it. Doorbusters are built to make you forget the number.
How this works
Every price is real. These are Amazon’s own prices around Black Friday 2025 (Nov 28, 2025), read from camelcamelcamel’s price history. The “was” price is the list price Amazon showed. Prices read off a chart can be a few dollars off, and the dotted stretches are where the price changed too fast to read.
The pictures are drawings, not product photos. Brand names belong to their owners, and none of them sponsor this.
The patterns are real. Some stores raise the “was” price for a few days before a sale so the discount looks bigger. Some products hit the same sale price every month. A real deal is the lowest price in a long while, not the biggest percent on the tag.
