Well, here we go again. Groupon keeps pumping out deals that aren’t deals. These non-deal alerts are turning into public service announcements to keep consumers from getting ripped off.
In this case Groupon isn’t ripping you of, it’s just plain old deception. They market themselves as a limited time “discount” seller, but they don’t actually offer any discounts. Their business model is simple: gain the trust of consumers then take advantage of them.
In short, don’t purchase the Samsung Gear VR from Groupon. Instead pick it up from Amazon.com where they always sell it for a “deal” @ $99.99.
Deal Alert…or Not: Groupon’s Samsung Gear VR Sale is Nothing Special
