Once the Blue Dot Sale stock is sold out the item reverts to its original price. In some cases there is limited stock of an item. The company says it is possible that one seller is not part of the Blue Dot Sale. Previously, Takealot defended its pricing, telling TimesLIVE that in some cases there are two different sellers for the same product on the site.

However, both faced backlash for allegedly inflating prices or offering no real discounts. Over the past few years, retailers such as Takealot and Clicks have been hyped as the ultimate Black Friday extravaganza. On Twitter, the hashtag #BlackFriday trended as customers expressed their grievances. Unhappy shoppers flocked to social media on Friday to complain that discounts offered were “not actually” discounts. Yet again, SA has been disappointed by the “scam disguised as Black Friday".
