hpowers Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Wait!!! It's hard to do but I make myself do it every year. If your afraid it will sell out, buy it and take it back if it goes cheaper later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndreaInNC Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 If you wait, you also stand the chance of not getting the toy. If you see it, buy it now. You can always return it if you find it cheaper later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Momto32003 Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 I always buy early and keep the receipt. If the particular store I bought it from wont PM, I return it and but it at the cheaper price. Makes all the last minute shopping a little easier plus I don't worry about the toy being out of stock. I am already having a hard time finding one of my items and we still have a couple weeks before Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2apples Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 I just put 4 items on layaway at Wal-Mart that I think will go on sale BF, so if they do then all I need to do is go up there before 11:00 and get them to change it. SInce layaways can't be placed after Nov. 8, there should be a very small line on that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kellylumbard Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 I am having the same delima.I am trying to decide if I should do layaway now while I can (since they are getting rid of it) or wait and try to save money and get the items on bf.

L_G_A Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 The door buster items will have a special upc#. The identical item that they normally carry will have a different upc#. They will NOT honor the door buster price for the item you have in lay-away. If it is a normal item that is just on sale, you should be fine. Another thing: they pull some items off the shelves several days before BF that will be on sale at their store and at competitor stores (price matching). They watch this website, too!

ellen zachariia Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Just a thought. Last year's TRU holiday book had some great early prices that expired before BF. I bought my son a V-smile cheaper then the prices on BF. If you can I would wait until at least the end of OCT or beg of Nov til that book comes out. Unless it is a mega hot item like Elmo Tmx, Barbie Elmo Tmx or some hot video equipment that has very few quanity. I know I bought Elmo TMX at reg price and I was so glad I did not wait.

vonnyb Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 I asked this very same question on this forum last year and found that it was best that I went ahead and bought the toy ahead of time, when I was able to get my hands on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewleyp Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 I had the same question the other day ... Kohls had the glitter wings Barbie for 40% - I knew that my daughter wanted it, but should I hold out? Nothing stinks worse than waiting and then not being able to find it. 40% and a gift off the list - Buy it now if its important - Not so much , let it ride !!!!

I think if I found something for 40% off and it was reasonable, I would go ahead and get it especially if it's going to knock something off the list and your daughter wanted it too. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
udratherbme Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Buy now save later... if it is @ a good price now or even if its not, its not guaranteed to be on that deep of a discount on BF, but if it is, buy it then return the first one w/ the reciept... you know Wally World take anything back w/ a reciept... i know i save receipts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1angelnhvn Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 I've been battling the same issue! On one hand, I'm buying like crazy now and know I always overbuy! But I also don't want to be left without the item either!? So, I buy buy buy and will look later to see what all I have and return stuff-especially if something is cheaper! Although, you do have to watch those places that have a short return policy-some stores only give you 30 days now! (Can't tell you how many times I have fought over that issue)! But most give 90 so you should be ok! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elena_398 Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 I started buying items now. I would kick myself if I waited and if it didn't go on sale as I thought OR that it sold out and on back order, etc. So if you are sure your kids want it, I'd get it.

RossMAN Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Just to be on the safe side, I would buy the toys now. Do not open them, keep the receipt in a safe place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
