Black Friday rip-off

I ordered a washing machine from Curry's in the black Friday sale.
It had 10% off which brought the price down £40 supposedly with free delivery.
I ended up paying £9.99 delivery as the free one was nearly 2 wks away.
Anyway, checking the website a couple of days later found the same washer had been reduced £100. (After the sale was over.)
The next day I cancelled.
It has taught me a lesson to ignore all future black Friday sales.

Never associate with idiots on their own level, because, being an intelligent man, you'll try to deal with them on their level - and on their level they'll beat you every time.
Being hated by idiots is the price you pay for not being one of them.

In what way is this a "rip-off" ?
There could be any number of reasons for a further price reduction, the most likely being that they had over-ordered /lots of stock left after the initial reduction and wanted to shift them quickly.0 -
Is it a rip off, a case for buyer beware I bet.0
