The Friday after Thanksgiving is arriving soon. This “huge” buying day, however, is growing past the single day. Online retailer Amazon has currently declared some of their Black Friday 2010 offers. How Amazon is able to offer affordable prices, though, is a sticky issue for many states.
Black Friday deals 2010 at Amazon
To sell more during the holidays, Amazon has declared some Black Friday 2010 offers already. The company wants to get going on it. Amazon plans to undercut all the Black Friday specials from other companies with Black Friday 2010. Amazon is adding new Black Friday 2010 and Cyber Monday 2010 offers throughout this week. In general, the prices on Amazon.com tend to be between 5 percent and 20 percent below most other retailers.
Issues from buyers over Amazon Black Friday 2010
Now that Amazon has declared its Black Friday 2010 deals, shoppers have already started their complaints. The majority are mad the Amazon Black Friday 2010 offers aren't staying long enough. They sell out too fast. Since the price only lasts a few hours or minutes, the majority are saying they are not really "deals" getting sold. The items are being sold so fast that those with slower internet connection cannot get what they want. Many say this is "discrimination" in Amazon.
Black Friday 2010 causes gross sales tax at Amazon
The prices that Amazon is offering for Black Friday 2010 and the holiday buying season seem a bit unreal. Individuals are able to get affordable prices for a reason. It’s sales tax that makes the difference. In all but a few states, Amazon does not have to charge gross sales tax. The final price of a product will go down almost 10 percent sometimes depending on this. A "use tax" is intended to be paid by people. This is if product sales tax isn't charged on the product bought out of state. Generally consumers do not have to do this. The use tax goes unnoticed. Amazon could be cheaper almost every time. This is since the gross sales tax required at all stores doesn't have to be paid at Amazon. For consumers, this ends up saving them money on Black Friday 2010. Budgets are going into the hole for states! because of the costs that the states are losing.
