I don’t know if Olympus is “saving” the refurbished cameras and lenses for Cyber Monday, or if they want to “direct” shoppers towards their new condition products, or maybe they actually run out? Their Olympus Outlet store sat out the Black Friday festivities, it remained empty, and it still is empty as of the time of writing. I will be monitoring the situation and post updates as we get closer to Cyber Monday.
“OK, guys and gals, we sold as much new stuff as we could with Black Friday specials. Now repeat after me and get busy; Cyber Monday is coming up fast. So, it’s out of the fancy new-product boxes, into the blue refurb boxes, out of the fancy new-product boxes, into the blue refurb boxes. And hurry.”
Heh. 🙂
LOL it’s probably more common than retailers and manufacturers are willing to admit it! One way to “defend” price points while still having sales.
Exactly. 😉
