Retailers and consumers are being warned about price hikes ahead of Black Friday sales. A survey suggests two thirds of respondents will buy goods in the annual flash sale, with over a third (38%) intending to spend more than $500. Global consumer price comparison website Price Spy's survey finds the price of almost one in ten products listed on its website was hiked ahead of the sales period, only to be reduced on Black Friday. Meanwhile the Commerce Commission is urging retailers to follow the law as Black Friday looms and Christmas creeps up.
