  1. Two Targets in North Dallas went 90. ...like a few days ago. At least one of those I asked claimed they did. They told me they had too much Christmas, that their stockroom was full and needed Halloween gone. Pretty much candy corn and those plastic pumpkin buckets. Very disappointing. Not just the store. I always come to this site during the fall/winter seasons, but it looks like activity on this site has gone to a crawl.

    I agree.  This has been my go-to-site for years and I can't believe the lack of posts this year.  Oh well, off to DC area stores later this week to try and score.  Lots of stores to choose from but I hit a home run in Reston VA last Christmas.  :-)

  2. Way late posting here but I stumbled upon 90% off last week in Reston VA.  They had tons of leftovers.  I scored on the following: wrapping paper, bags, tissue paper, ribbon, red stuffing oreos, white chocolate covered oreos, caramel popcorn, pajamas, lights, and last but not least, that cool teddy bear that I refused to pay $25 for.  My patience paid off when I walked out of the store with one after paying $2.50, plus 5% off for using my red card.  I should have bought more of the bears to sell later on Craigslist or Ebay.  Best score in years!

  3. Anyone know what will happen to Neiman Marcus stuff? I really want the carry on luaggage but can't seem to justify spending $60. Will it go 90%

    I noticed that nobody answered. In all but one store in my area, its moving well enough at 70% that I don't think they will have to drop it to 90%. I was reading articles online about how that venture failed and I have to admit that I only saw the first store display a few days ago and that store had just about every item left for sale. Since then, I've seen only a few items in the other store such as the dog bowls, fancy dresses, and furry hats. I'm going to keep looking at this forum and both the Target and Neiman Marcus websites to see if they will dare to drop to 90%.

    Dear customer:

     

    Thank you for contacting us here at Yak Pak. In reference to your order, we'd like to provide further explanation about the status. Your order, as well as a lot of other web orders, has been delay because of the reason the demand was much higher than anticipated and unfortunately we ran out of WEBS-001.

  5. In for two even though they are on backorder. I hope that folks return here and tell what they got.

    My order came in yesterday.

    1 ea YakPak Fuji wristlet bag in the "Navy Swallow" pattern (normally $17)

    1 ea YakPak Catrina hobo bag in the "White Multi Unicorn" pattern (normally $30)

    3 ea YakPak Classic backpacks in discontinued patterns (normally $23)

    1 ea YakPak discontinued backpack with a single shoulder strap (estimate $23)

  6. According to a circuit city manager(personal friend), Olevia has a high return rate.:eyepoppin

    I bought the Olevia Black 37" LCD HDTV w/ ATSC Tuner Inside Model 237V from newegg.com last year as a Black Friday deal and absolutely love it. Newegg.com customers are good at leaving feedback on their Olevia purchases and they are overwhelmingly positive. I would use these as a reference rather than circuit city manager "hearsay".

  7. Stores do the mail in rebates mainly because a large part of the population who are entitled to one either do not send it in, or do something incorrectly. Let's face it, it's smart business. They are in the position of, look u do this and we'll pay you back xx.xx dollars, but hey if you cant or dont or forget to do it, then that is more in their profit margin. Like I said - good business.

    Totally agree. The other big money maker is gift cards that folks either lose, don't use, or let expire.
  8. I just clicked on the link that Gotta Deal posted, typed in my story, and they chose me! I've never been picked for anything before. And yes, it's Eastern Standard Time, 6:30.

    They wanted to see which web sites I visited, I told them only one!

    I'm local and I'll be looking for you!
  9. i never heard of this brand but my aafes sales paper says this brand is specifically for the military. there's no infromation on the internet about the Sabre company.

    I stopped by the Andrews AFB BX this afternoon and their Sabre products were being pulled out of the box for their Black Friday display. There is a URL on the back of the 42" monitor for the company which is http://sabrece.com. There's no indication who is the real manufacturer but this looks to be the new "electronics house brand" for AAFES. The tag on the back of the monitor also says "Made In Korea".
  10. I plan on going to Best Buy but was wondering if anyone in the are knew how early I should get to the local Best Buy ?

    The Springfield Best Buy is by far the most popular one around. You may want to start waiting right after Thanksgiving dinner. If you want less competition, go up to Baily's Crossroads. The lines are much shorter and the management comes out from time to time to take the names of folks in line and make sure that they stay there. You could start there shortly after midnight.

  11. Guitars do come in lefty and righty models. This one is for righty's. I have ordered frequently from americanmusical and music123, two .com websites with a reputation for good prices and wide selections. If you find something that you like on music123, ask them a question about it and they will usually send you back an answer with a bonus... a personal quote that is less than their advertised price!
  12. The link shows that the bundle is still available. However, when you click the "Buy Now" button, you are taken to a page that says that there is nothing in your cart. Also, they cannot deliver by Christmas Eve. Looks like the best options for those that can't find one now are craigslist.org and ebay. They're much easier to find now in stores as well so the prices from these sources are going to be much closer to retail than just a few weeks ago.
  13. Circuit City had them in stock until about 11AM EST today. They listed a bundle consisting of the Premium Xbox, PGR game, Memory Module, and extra wireless controller. However, it let me delete the memory module so that I was really able to order what I wanted, without all of the extras, for $497. The only thing that I had to pay for that I normally would not have was $61.79 for overnight delivery to get it in hand by Christmas. Keep checking http://xbox360tracker.com/ because there are a lot more items available online now that the Christmas delivery deadline has passed for most of the retailers.
  14. um if you arent in line by 2pm on sat i will guarentee u that you wont be getting one, every best buy shouild be getting some, well the ones that get this ad, stores like ohio with their special ads may not who knows till tomorrow

    I am typing this reply from the line at the Best Buy in Bailey's Crossroads VA. I went to the Springfield BB first at 8PM and the line was aready 50 deep. I stopped by this store and was #19 in line. Good news is that I will get one of the 34 premium systems (plus 2 core). The bad news is that it is about 30 degrees outside.
  15. I dont see why people are paying $800 for the system on Ebay when they can spend $200 and get that huge bundle from Gamestop.

    I totally agree. But without knowing about a site like bensbargains, you could drive yourself crazy by constantly checking the popular web sites to find out when they have systems in stock. I hope people are still paying that much when I get mine. If I get it on Friday, I''l have to sell it by Saturday because the market will be flooded by people auctioning their new Best Buy systems on Sunday.
  16. Get in line at 5-8 PM on the 17th... NO JOKE.

    I was all set to park one of my cars in front of the Best Buy in Springfield VA about 24 hours in advance so that my son and I could take turns in XBOX 360 line but lo and behold, gottadeal.com forums came through again. The link to bensbargains led me to the gamestop's web site where they have a $1000 bundle that is in stock and usually ships in 24 hours. Since only one per customer can be ordered, I got one and so did my son. Mine's going on either ebay or craigslist to defer the cost of the other. :D
  17. I just got back from Best Buy in Waldorf, MD. The line was around the front of the store at 1AM. The same thing with the three WalMarts in the area. I'm going to follow the lead of a few others in the laptop thread and try to get one of the $375 laptops online instead.
  18. admittedly i haven't read the first 8 pages of this thread in a few days, but i can't remember this. is the exact model # of the 42" philips plasma for 1799 posted on here? if not, can anyone read it clearly? thanks.

    I don't recall seeing the Philips plasma that you are referring to. Philips bought Magnavox in 1974 and the lines between their products are often blurred. You may be speaking of the Magnavox 42" plasma, model 42MF230A/3, that will be sold at Best Buy for $1799 but $1499 after rebate.
