Yeah, Apple is likely not concerned about any of these shenanigans in the slightest. Their job is continue executing their business plan.

Anyone thinking Apple is going to start beefing with Musk is an idiot.

On top of all the decent deals I saw, the parking lots were PACKED. I had to walk forever to get into the shops, and then had to pack shit out back to the car, walking 10 minutes back in strong winds lol.

And hey, no one broke into my car to get the shit out either, so I guess things aren’t that bad out there.

I bought quite a bit of stuff. Normally I don’t, but the deals seemed pretty good tbh. Not like the OP is suggesting.

I found some of the best deals I’ve seen in 5 years easily. Lots of good stuff out there. Companies need to clear it out. Possibly they’re significantly overstocked?

Still, no way I’d be so cynical after seeing the deals I got.

Not all the stuff I saw. Some stuff was indeed a headscratcher. I was floored by some prices. Other stuff was ridiculously low priced. Like as if one of the bean counters was thinking; “we need to clear all this crap stock or we’ll be holding onto it all until next year.”

Lots of 80% off sticker price, and the sticker price wasn’t crazy unusual. This one store sells pocket knives at the exact same price they sold them for the last 5 years. Again, could be overstocked, but they’re so cheap I bought 20 of them. My partner sells them online at a decent markup. Bought a $10 power bank. Never seen them that low for an 8Ah battery pack. I’ve bought a few of them before, so I know it’s a good brand. Decent little unit for $10, and not too big either (only 30Wh)
