Black Friday (shopping) - Wikipedia

So it has absolutely nothing to do with the previous years/old stock?

As the phrase gained national attention in the early 1980s, merchants objecting to the use of a derisive term to refer to one of the most important shopping days of the year suggested an alternative derivation: that retailers traditionally operated at a financial loss for most of the year (January through November) and made their profit during the holiday season, beginning on the day after Thanksgiving.[8] When this was recorded in the financial records, once-common accounting practices would use red ink to show negative amounts and black ink to show positive amounts. Black Friday, under this theory, is the beginning of the period when retailers would no longer be "in the red", instead taking in the year's profits.[8][27][28] The earliest known published reference to this explanation occurs in The Philadelphia Inquirer for November 28, 1981.[29]

Id think the opposite is true at least overseas,

get rid of old stock for all the newer stock they getting in, so you can pick up a deal, if you know what your looking for,
and dont mind last years model, Hence the Term Black friday.

Locally? just a Joke and not a Funny one, just going mad with all the deals that they can and try ride the coattails of Black Friday,
almost like Christmas Deals, almost exactly the same, if they give anything approaching decent deals they hide them very well.

Nope, not in my experience. I still get better BF deals from overseas and they are newer products. That is what I said above.
