On November 15, 2026, online retail platforms across Germany launched competitive discounting ahead of the upcoming shopping events, with Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) listing a popular Dyson (UK: DYSON) vacuum cleaner at 500 euros while eBay (NASDAQ: EBAY) offered a certified refurbished model for half that price, according to ntv.de.
The core issue involves the Dyson V10 Absolute, a cordless vacuum cleaner that features up to 60 minutes of run time and hair-detangling technology designed for households with pets. While Amazon prices the unit at 500 euros, eBay lists manufacturer-refurbished units for 260 euros, backed by a one-year warranty and a special discount code. According to ntv.de, more than 1,600 units of this refurbished model have already been sold on eBay.
Refurbished Dyson V10 Units Undercut Amazon Prices
- Refurbished Dyson V10 Absolute units on eBay sell for 260 euros, undercutting Amazon’s 500-euro price point for new stock by nearly half.
- The discounted eBay inventory consists of customer returns and exhibition pieces that have been technically tested and certified by the manufacturer.
- Pre-Black Friday promotions include large discounts on Samsung TVs, Apple devices, and Makita chargers on multiple websites.
Expanding Refurbished Inventories on eBay
The price divergence highlights a broader shift in consumer electronics retail, where certified pre-owned merchandise competes directly with brand-new inventory. eBay positions these items with a one-year warranty, matching the baseline protection offered on many new appliances.
Beyond the V10 Absolute, other Dyson models receive similar treatment on the platform. The Dyson V12 Detect Slim Absolute trades at roughly 100 euros below its new retail price, featuring five attachments and a flex pipe, ntv.de reported.

PC Games Hardware said that Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) priced the Dyson V8 Cyclone at 249 euros, marking a 14 percent reduction from its 90-day average price of 288.59 euros. Meanwhile, Netzwelt reported that MediaMarkt offered the Dyson V12 model at 399 euros, alongside a refurbished “Motorhead” variant priced at 296.10 euros using the voucher code RSTRCW26.
Additional Tech and Appliance Reductions
The pre-holiday pricing competition extends beyond floor care into entertainment and kitchen technology. eBay’s November catalog includes Samsung’s 55-inch 4K Ultra HD television priced at 349 euros, undercutting competing retailers by 50 euros. In the audio segment, the Anker Soundcore Boom 2 Pro reaches a new low around 200 euros, while Apple’s HomePod Generation 2 refurbished model offers a 112-euro saving compared to standard retail prices, according to ntv.de.
The Samsung Galaxy S26 FE with 256 gigabytes of storage dropped to its lowest recorded price on the platform, featuring a 6.7-inch 120-hertz display and a triple 50-megapixel camera system.
