At the end of the year there is another bargain event: Black Friday 2023 is coming up and many shops and providers are offering attractive sales promotions. The actual Black Friday takes place on November 24th this year, but there are numerous advance offers. TECHBOOK therefore presents you with the best deals and reveals what you should pay attention to when buying.
Just in time for Christmas, the Black Friday bargain event will take place on November 24, 2023. Tech fans in particular can get their money’s worth and save a lot. There are lots of sales on this day at both the popular online shops such as Amazon, MediaMarktSaturn, Ebay and Co., as well as at other providers – but also in advance. But not everything that looks cheap is also a great bargain.
Important to know: High percentages do not necessarily mean a high-quality technology offering. The starting price is often based on the manufacturer’s recommended retail price (RRP) in order to make the discount appear particularly attractive. However, other retailers often offer the device at similar or even cheaper prices. Therefore, TECHBOOK only considers offers that offer the lowest price among all retailers.
Black Friday on November 24th
The cold season is just around the corner and Christmas is getting closer and closer. Many people are already thinking about their first gifts for the holidays. Bargain events like Black Friday come in handy. But even before November 24th, there are plenty of advance offers that are definitely worth it, because November itself is considered a sales month. Bargain hunters should therefore mark these days in red on their calendar:
- November 11th: Singles Day
- November 24th: Black Friday
- November 27th: Cyber Monday
Now back to Black Friday. Where does the name even come from? The origins lie in the USA. There is no fixed date for the shopping event, as Black Friday is always “celebrated” on the Friday after Thanksgiving. Since the Christmas shopping season begins this Friday, many companies are in the black. But it is not proven whether the name became established for this reason.
This is what you should pay attention to on Black Friday
As already mentioned, there are some sales days or promotions in November. The so-called Black Week takes place from November 20th to 26th, while Black Friday takes place on November 24th. Cyber Monday also continues on November 27th. Since the promotions continue until December 1st, this week is also called Cyber Week. As tempting as this all sounds, you should still be careful.
Consumer advocates advise users not to accept all deals. Among other things, you should keep a cool head and always compare offers. In addition, you should not fall for fake shops and be careful. You can find out more tips on what to look out for on Black Friday at TECHBOOK.
The best advance offers before Black Friday
Below we present the best advance offers to you. As a reference price, we do not use the RRP (recommended retail price), but rather the cheapest known price of the past 12 months, according to Idealo*, and compare this with the current sales price. In this way, TECHBOOK determines whether the promotion is really worth it or whether the product was already available at a significantly lower price.

This is what you need to know about Black Friday deals
Technology offers come and go very quickly, many items are only available in a very limited number. Even if the offers are advertised for a while in brochures or advertisements, it may be that they are already sold out beforehand. When shopping, also pay attention to possible shipping costs, which will be added to the purchase price. Not all retailers generally offer free shipping. Online shops and retailers always adjust their prices. A look at a comparison portal can help if you are not sure whether a deal is worth it.
