ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI- After losing many of their possessions, including household and electronic items following the passage of hurricanes Irma and Maria two months ago, it is hardly surprising that residents of the Virgin Islands are capitalising on the various deals for Black Friday, today, November 24, 2017.

One of the biggest sales is being held at Cash and Carry in Pasea Estate and residents have been flocking that establishment since doors opened around 6:00 A.M.

Many have been seen purchasing electronic items, including televisions, laptops, music systems and kitchen appliances and of course generators.

The sale is being dubbed “one of the biggest sales the island has seen” and seems to be on its way to living up to that hype.

Added to that Flow has teamed up with Cash and Carry and have been giving some amazing deals, including on Samsung Galaxy S8, S8 Edge and Samsung Galaxy Note 8.

Other businesses that have Black Friday sales include One Mart Superstore, VI Motors, which is giving 20% off on all items in the store, and Five Girls Limited.

The sales are being seen as a much needed relief for customers hard hit by the recent hurricanes and the jacking up of prices by some businesses.

While the Black Friday sales are welcomed Consumer Protection Legislation will still be welcomed too.

    Great.. They can't stop Rite Way..This was good. Sad that they had to layoff those workers. Today they didn't had enough workers.

    Consumer legislation prevents competition. What we need is to abolish the need to have a trade license and then prices would come down as a result of competition.
    Did you hear the chairman of one of the taxi associations complaining that unlicensed taxi drivers are charging less than the prices that licensed taxi drivers are ‘required’ to charge. Licensed taxi drivers are not required to charge any price - they are simply not allowed to
    Charge more than the maximum price. They could lower their prices if they wanted to but then they would have to work harder and spend less time lining in the taxi association booths. The rip off taxi prices in the BVI are a direct result of the consumer legislation that applies to taxi drivers.
    It is mad to think that consumer legislation will bring prices down. It drives away competition and reduces levels of service. It is mad mad mad.
