My phone was on its way out so I got something with better translation features and support for my move to Germany. Was it expensive? Yes. Is it less expensive than it will be? Also yes.
I wouldn’t be surprised if this causes scalpers to start hoarding goods again like they did during the pandemic. Artificial scarcity but still cheaper than the official price on Amazon or whatever.
Companies are pre-buying goods and laying off workers already, so why wouldn’t the citizenry?
I’m aware. Been following that as well. I still trust Germany more than I trust the USA. I unfortunately can’t really move to one of the larger cities as it’s pretty cost prohibitive until my wife could find a job. We are going to live in a less populated town for a while and ramp up culturally and see how everything goes. She speaks Spanish fluently, so we may end up in Spain after some time. It’s hard to say.
Things like this take a while to finalize, so you’re good for now. Just wait until Black Friday to buy anything, since it’s so soon and lots of computer stuff goes on sale.
Amazon show a “lowest price in 30 days” badge if the price is the lowest in the past 30 days, so companies that sell their products on Amazon will sometimes raise the price 30 days before Black Friday.
Some companies will make units specifically for black friday. Usually cheaper, less features, and sometimes less reliable.
This has always been the case. Same with outlets - some items at outlet stores are specifically made to be sold at the outlet.
Fuuuuuuuck me I wanted a new PC & a new laptop. How much time do I have before this hits?!

Just so you know: Germany’s government basically imploded yesterday. Has been a long time coming, really.
Also, if you move to any of the big cities (FFM, Hamburg, Bremen, Berlin) you won’t need to speak German.

FYI: companies will do 2 things to make black friday kinda suck these days
Prices will go up before black friday so they can have an exagerated sale/discount.

Figure out what you want now.
It’s before Black Friday now :P
