Not only is it November and Black Friday deals a plenty, with Trump winning the presidency and his plans for tariffs, you need to buy what you can NOW! He's stated a 20-300% tariff on Chinese goods which means many of the things we use, especially electronics are going to go through the roof on price. And if you think he won't do it, he did 25% last time just on electronics and people freaked.
BUT TARIFFS ARE PAID BY THE CHINESE!
No matter who pays it initially (the importer does), if you have to pay a 20% tax to import something, you're going to charge the end person an extra 20% to cover it or you won't be in business long. So regardless, your price will go up to match. A 100% tariff means the your keyboard, switches, GPU, motherboard, RAM, SSDs, power supplies, cases, lower end key caps, mice, Xbox, Playstations, etc. are all going to go up by that amount over the current price. This will also have an effect on the used market.
Other things to go up but not as much, clothes/shoes, cell phones, food, pet food, tools, TVs, furniture, refrigerators, washer/dryers, farm equipment, gardening, pots, pans, glasses, silverware, etc, pretty much everything really because almost everything now has something in it coming from China and those parts will go up. Services that rely on all of this will also go up, I.T., auto repair, farming, restaurants, etc...
This isn't the win some people think it is.
Tariffs are meant to promote domestic production, not penalize. No one wins a trade war especially the end users.
