Candy Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 OK..here is the thing....I LOVE BF....but....there inever seems to be butt a dozen hot items that available per store. I have worked Wal-mart and others..and even if you get there an hour or more early...especially electronics...its almost impossible to get the item because soooo many people are in line and waiting.I really would like the laptop..but I'm betting there will be less than a dozen actually available...ggrr...anyone know for sure?(I worked there and never knew this answer)
erh12275 Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 I doubt anyone will be able to answer you specifically. Mainly because different stores get different amounts depending on demographics...etc.
RossMAN Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 The door busters are always in limited supply and the amount is published in the ad.
Ron Lowis Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 Makes no fiscal sense for retailers to keep big quantities on hand. Half the battle for them is to get you in the door. If they run out of one item and can get you to trade up for another few bucks to the next like item, (odds are you will since you have already invested the time and opportunity to be getting a deal somewhere else), they win.
erh12275 Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 Makes no fiscal sense for retailers to keep big quantities on hand.Walmart(at least near me) had tons left last year cuz their sales were not good. So I am bettin they have less this year.
Candy Posted November 2, 2005 Author Posted November 2, 2005 Yes, I do know our local Walmart had ALOT of tv's left over last year..they had really over calculated for those....but usually..the electronics dept where I live is saturated with so many people you can barely move.
Guest Deals4Me Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 My experience is, you want that badly, be sure to have your butt in line no later than 3
Candy Posted November 2, 2005 Author Posted November 2, 2005 yep....my hubby is off today and I am already grilling him on how to divide and conquer..lol. The girls already know this routine..lol.
