November is a great time to buy tech, but avoid inflated discounts and scams. A Which? study of 175 products found 83% were priced the same or less outside Black Friday sales. Bitdefender reported 53% of Black Friday spam was scams.
Check price history with tools like CamelCamelCamel or Keepa instead of just the discount percentage. For Amazon, Alexa for Shopping shows 365 days of price history. Be suspicious of sellers you don't recognize—fake storefronts and phishing emails impersonating retailers are common.
Always check web addresses, reviews, and return policies before buying.
