Show HN: No Black Friday – A directory of fair-price brands
no-blackfriday.comThe idea came from noticing how many brands inflate prices only to discount them later. Some companies refuse to do that, and I wanted a place to highlight them.
If you know a company that doesn’t participate in Black Friday or similar discount events, please add it or share it here. I’d love to grow the list with help from the community.

Camelcamelcamel is a great tool for checking to see if a current price is good in the context of price history
I adore camelcamelcamel and check them often. Does anyone else notice that their data has gotten much lower quality ~lately?
Anecdotally, in ~2018 it felt like CCC was in sync with amazon's listed price (including sale prices) nearly 100% of the time, and often had price data going back 5+ years. These days it's common to see that a sale price hasn't propagated to CCC, and that the chart only goes back 12 to 18 months.
My assumption is that there's hostility / volatility from amazon re data availability, combined with things like sellers delisting and relisting items to get a new ID (and thus a blank slate on price history).
Regardless, big thanks to CCC for the work they do on price transparency.
There's nothing there besides scam apps.
