[Got a quick question about hard copies of BF ads]

In my paper the ads are usually in the wednesday edition. The Wal Mart ad though is sent to my house in the mail and it actually arived today so thats one ad down for me.

[.99 Lattes and Cappucinos @ Dunkin Donuts]

I will be hitting up dunkin donuts for a mocha swirl tomorrow. I just hope this promotion is not replacing the free iced coffee day they had last year.

[How many rebates are you waiting on?]

I waiting on a $30 rebate from staples for a laptop I bought just before christmas. I submitted it online (why can't more companies let you do rebates this way) a couple of days later. I'll hopefully get my check in 2-3 weeks.

[walmart secret sales?]

For that price that laptop is not really a good deal. If if was 50-75 dollars cheaper I would go for it but I think I'll pass on this one.

[walmart secret sales?]

I am really intrested in the Gateway laptop. What scares me though is it says it will not be available in all stores. I hope my local Wal Mart has it available.

[is it ethical? (reselling tickets for hot items)]

I really think the reselling of tickets and gettingickets just to sell thestuff on Ebay is wrong. But until Best Buy cracks down on it nothing will change. What I think needs to happen is anybody caught scalping a ticket needs to have all of their tickets taken away and be forced to go to the back of the line.

 

I also think Best Buy needs to change their policy when it comes to the desktops and laptops an black friday. I think there should be a limit of one computer per person. Not one ticket for each computer available but one computer period. This will eliminate the people who are just there to get all the computer tickets just to make some money on Ebay and let those who legitimately need a new computer get one.

[How fast would the 22" lcd's run out at?]

It depends on the store. Last year I got the 22" westinghouse for $199 and there were probably 30 or so left after I grabbed mine. They were located near the checkout and I noticed when I was checking out an hour or so later there were maybe 6 left. So at my Best Buy they lasted about 2 hours.
