Ask HN: Are retailers raising prices ahead of Black Friday?

Is it possible to gather data at a large scale on whether retailers have been raising prices in advance of Black Friday, so they can have big "sales"? I just noticed that a tshirt I was looking at on Woot went from $15 to $19. I had been watching the price to see how much it would be discounted next week (typically they can be had for $6 if you order a couple at a time), and was interested to see that the price went up in the last few days. I realized this is probably happening all over the place and wondered if it is possible to measure the prevalence on a macro level to see which stores/companies/sectors do this the most.
