  1. Our walmart still has some of the Black Friday Samsung 32" around. I think they were going for around $275. YMMV
  2. I think this is the one that will be in the Thanksgiving day paper. That is usually a 2-3 page teaser for the big one.
  3. When I worked retail, we always looked forward to the "given" days off. Christmas, Easter, and Thanksgiving. The managers are salaried. During the holidays they work 80+ hours per week. Hourly people work random shifts which may include overtime. If they call in, they get written up or fired. I know of a pregnant woman who had a miscarriage due to how she was worked. And unfortunately, this is common. I know that they can "go find another job", but that shouldn't be how a company treats it's employees not to mention, they may not have any other option open to them.
  4. Does Dillards do a Black Friday ad? I didn't see it listed in the prior release dates and I can't find the 2010 ad via google.
  5. Does the Garmin 40 LM actually have traffic too? Or should I just go for the 1350LMT that I know has traffic?
  6. Got mine today! Thanks Brad!
  7. I went last year on BF later in the day. The lines weren't as bad as the midnight Walmart one. I guess it depends on when you actually go.
  8. Looking for either an elliptical or a treadmill. (Opinions?) We would like to purchase soon, but should we just buy it now, wait until Black Friday, or wait until January when all the exercise stuff goes on sale? Which has the better deal normally?
  9. Totally agree with you. The retailer is making a PROFIT from the $25 shipping. Not loosing money. I don't have anything against them making a profit, but I just wish they would be honest about it.
  10. Woo Hoo! Thanks Brad! Maybe I should buy a lotto ticket today.....
  11. We should post a link to this ad whenever someone posts the "This year's ads suck" comment. It really puts into perspective how much electronics have come down in price.
  12. I don't think that BB is worried about Walmart or any similar chain. After all, you can't walk into Walmart and get someone to explain why x TV is better than y TV. BB's only competition is really local. Fry's Electronics has very few stores nation wide. Same with Microcenter. If either of these chains became big, then they would give BB a run for it's money. The only reason why Walmart and Target are taking money from BB is because of the economy. Walmart is a "low price" leader and has marketed themselves as such. They do well in poor economies because people are trying to save money. They perceive Walmart as a cheaper alternative to BB.
  13. I wonder how long it will be before he starts receiving it with white-out smeared across the date.
  14. Good deal from Newegg on the deals page. The Acer is much better than the one suggested above. Well worth the extra $50.
  15. Laptops seem to have decent deals all year round. You should check out Fry's electronics if they are in your area. Their big ads come out on Fridays and they usually have some decent laptop deals in them. Much better than Walmart's. They are also online at Frys.com. If you Google "Fry's ad" and pick the newspaper that is closest to your area, you can usually figure out what is on sale online. http://www.frys.com/product/6531463?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG Matches what you want with a 14" screen sub $400. If you are very mobile with it, the weight savings on the smaller screen will seem like a godsend.
  16. Right now, you can purchase a new vehicle with rebates that will make it cheaper than a 1-2 year old of the same model. Remember that the car price is NEGOTIABLE!!! Check prices on the vehicle (same year model) from Edmunds.com and KellyBlueBook.com. They will give you the "invoice" price and the average price that people purchased it for in your area. Go from that. KNOW your rebates!!!! Some dealerships won't tell you about them...you have to ask. Some dealerships are not "full disclosure" and will be difficult to negotiate with. They WILL keep your trade-in keys to keep you there. You have to repeatedly ask for them back. You can negotiate dealer added extras like tinted windows and running boards, too. BE READY TO WALK OUT IF YOU DON'T GET THE [reasonable] PRICE YOU WANT!!!!!!! Be a hard-a$$. They are NOT your friend! 2010 vehicles that are still "new" will be discounted heavily. Catch one if you find one still available. First hand example: In August I purchased a 2010 Chevy Silverado Crew Cab. Sticker was 37,000. I went in on a Friday night and the dealership was a "full disclosure" dealership. They told me all the different discounts I could get. Ex: Extra 1000 for trading in a Pontiac, if I had an account with a credit union -->$750, finance thru Ally -->$1000, Plus the standard "cash back". Once I was in "financing", I asked if it was the best they could do and they gave me a "coupon" for a lower intrest rate plus another $1000 off (this was after the dealership had closed and the managers left. The finance guy wanted to go home as quick as possible.) Total price ended up being 27,000. Cost of a "used" 2010 Sliverado Crew Cab on their lot was 33,000. Go figure.

    Dillards ad?

    Am I just not seeing it? Are they so bad off that they aren't doing black friday this year?
  19. They really aren't heavy and fit just fine in a basket.....Then in your back seat!
  20. For some reason, I don't think that the "headlamps" fall under the "digital camera" in the listings. I would rather have the scan up first before you fix it tho.
  21. Target: $199.99 XBOX bundle $159.00 Garmin 1450LMT $ 39.99 Disney Talking Princess Kitchen Best Buy $99 Nook Total $497.98
