I don't think so, never really understood what Black Friday was, or why it happens.

Black Friday = extremely good deals on everything you can think of.

Any reason for it? Or is it just competitive?

It marks the unnofficial start of the Christmas season. Not sure why or how it started though.

It's when stores mark down their many of their high demand items to just above cost, at cost, or under cost in order to sell it.

I noticed Amazon UK started doing it, but otherwise no, we don't get it here.
