  1. I usually get to staples about 90 minutes before they open and I'm within the top 20 in line.
  2. I'd be skeptical of any RCA tv. They are one of the most returned brands.
  3. Every store has their items laid out differently. Grocery action alley is a popular area for items to be located. I kind of doubt any supercenters close, they should all stay open.
  4. A good deal at sears is 20% off. I believe I got 20% off all of my appliances from there.
  5. It really depends on the games he wants to play. I would head over to newegg and pick out a card with good reviews within your budget. It won't handle the top video cards out there but it should be able to take a card that will play most games. I'm 99.9% sure that is a PCIe slot.
  6. Vostro 200 Mini Tower Intel® Pentium® Dual-Core Processor E2140 (1.60GHz, 1MB L2 Cache Genuine Windows® XP Home Edition 1GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM 667MHz - 2DIMMs Dell 19 inch E198FP Analog Flat Panel Monitor 80GB1 Serial ATA Hard Drive (7200RPM) w/DataBurst Cache™ 1 Year Limited Hardware Warranty2 with Next Business Day On-Site Service3 I've setup a couple of these and so far I am fairly impressed. Dual core with 1gb and windows xp w/19" lcd is a very good price. These are basic no thrill systems without all the normal extra crap that I hate. The lcd's are nothing special. The build quality isn't spectacular but it's not bad either. Overall you can't beat this and no one could build a computer this cheap from scratch.
  7. That's walmart for you. I'm sure there are plenty of walmart workers watching gottadeal (waves at them, hi). I'm a happy former 6 year associate and couldn't be happier to be away from the evil company.
  8. I will pull many monkeyshines without looking hinky while wearing my luxurious gottadeal t-shirt pushing people out of my way.

    Story on WM

    Layaway closing has not hurt walmart like everyone is thinking. By getting rid of layaway walmart is doing it's part to help teach American's financial responsibility. There's no reason to have the system.
  10. See the problem with having such a huge company is that policy enforcement can be hard thing to do.
  11. Layaway affected some sales but the expense that goes into layaway will be tons of $$ saved. IMHO they do not make enough off the layaway sales to break even with all the costs of running it. You people have no idea how much of a pain layaway is and how much the storage of all the merchandise costs the stores.
  12. They sure got everyones attention so they probably deemed it a success.
  13. Yeah there won't be rainchecks for these. It was a one time deal. Sounds like supplier issues to me.
  14. You should have just looked at the truck list and you could have easily seen what was on the truck.
  15. RCA was the #1 returned TV during my years of employment with walmart.
  16. Yeah I wouldn't buy that. You should be able to get a brand name tried and true one for $10 or less more. Durabrand = walmart crap made by whoever would make it the cheapest
  17. They could have a deal on one, who knows. Lots of times something like a camcorder is an assembly item and not normally stocked in the warehouse. This means it can take 4-6 weeks or longer to get it in stock. I highly doubt walmart would pull to prevent price matching. Walmarts goal = move merchandise

    Rollbacks????

    Yeah, mom is right. Rollbacks won't be happening.
  19. I'm usually in the top 15 in line at staples. I get there about 45 minutes before they open. This year the goal is to be there 1 hour before. It's more of a rush beating everyone there.
  20. Most of the items are in action alley (the main isles). Nothing will be stocked on a normal shelf in a department.
  21. I really find it hard to believe that there are signs up saying no price matching. Price matching is like a golden rule at walmart and that as long as the item is the exact same (items currently on the shelf are not going to be the same) they will match them.
  22. Official Policy: All coupons, buy one get one free, $xx after MIR = not honored Rebates are not guaranteed by any means and are often a scam unfortunately so it's only fair that they do not honor them

    Walmart Returns

    You guys need to look at it from another perspective. Do you realize how much walmart gets scammed on returns? I don't have numbers but they are huge. Save your receipts, its not that hard of a concept.
  24. Just like the others have stated, 99% of the BF items at walmart are unique to BF. They could be the exact same item in a different box with a different UPC. Sorry but it's not going to work.
