carla0922 Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 hey there does anyone know if Micro Center does any big sales/doorbusters for BF? Link: http://www.gottadeal.com/goto.php?http://microcenter.com/images/specials/friday.sale.pdf RossMAN
H_Hancock Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 hey there does anyone know if Micro Center does any big sales/doorbusters for BF?Considering MicroCenter is always running sales year round, I cannot help but think they, too, will have some BF specials. In Atlanta, they're going up against all the big electronic/computer stores, BB, CC, Fry's, OD, OM, Staple's........so the area is ultracompetitive and they'd have to have some BF sales or not compete. Everywhere I've seen a MicroCenter, there's also at least a BB, CC, and a few other elec. stores......competition is great, sometimes!!
edubbrulez Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 They had some deals last year. I didn't go - but I saw the ad.
carla0922 Posted November 3, 2006 Author Posted November 3, 2006 Do you think that the ad will be posted here before BF?
Adamtanderson Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 Micro Center only has 19 stores nation wide, but they are all over the country. http://www.microcenter.com/at_the_stores/index.html
lindabacker Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 Micro Center only has 19 stores nation wide, but they are all over the country. http://www.microcenter.com/at_the_stores/index.htmlDont have one near me, but they do have some pretty good prices.
LSoldevila Posted November 4, 2006 Posted November 4, 2006 I am very familiar with Micro Center. My first experience with Micro Center was on a BF three years ago. They have coupons that they hand out for the different items. Over the years the lines have been getting longer but they are never as long as they are at the Best Buys or Circuit City. THe deals are usually very good.
Ariwo Posted November 4, 2006 Posted November 4, 2006 Micro Center always have great deals on Plasma/LCD TV. I bought a Syntax Olevia 37" after $300 rebate last year. The problem is their ad was difficult to find last year. Please post if you have this year BF ad.
oclj30 Posted November 5, 2006 Posted November 5, 2006 I really hope they have a 1 gig SD card this year for cheap... I leave for Europe on the 1st of Dec and would really like to have to only use 1 card to take pics the whole trip
dgleason Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 Our Sony camera has 2 slots - compact flash and memory stick. We spent a week in Europe this spring and had a 1G in one slot and 512MB card in the other slot and they didn't last the whole week without downloading - luckily we had brought a laptop with us. I'm hoping they have 2G cards at amazing prices.
Rebirth Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 They some good deals. Alot of people were buying LCD TVs last year.
roger899 Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 Micro center had the 42" Olevia posted on their web site when I looked a few months ago. The next day it was gone & hasn't been relisted. Sent them an email but never got a reply. Supposedly their deal was better than Targets (typically 10% off sale price & free delivery). Looking for the 542i (new 42"). Hopefully will be able to buy for $1000 after rebate etc. Olevia typically has 1 week rebates of up to $300. Watch their terms and submission requirements as they are very restictive. Have the 32" & its great. My friend has the 30" & old 42" & they work well.
bobsoji Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 I would like to see copies of this years ad as well. If anyone gets them, please post em
shoppinggirl Posted November 12, 2006 Posted November 12, 2006 they seem to be pretty restrictive in sharing BF sale information - my husband & I have shopped there for yrs and the approach is different every yr., last yr you had to be in the store the day before or a couple of days before and then arrive at 8 a.m. to stand in line to receive a limited number of coupons that they hand out at door..YIKES, this was daunting to the most seasoned shopper. This year I am on the mailing list (email) - maybe that will make a difference. My store is in Illinois - Chicago location If anyone finds anything out let me know! Funny a regular customer not knowing???? By the way the salestaff is pretty tight lipped or they really dont know - this is not a huge suprise. Shopping Girl
bjohnson33 Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 I really hope they have a 1 gig SD card this year for cheap... I leave for Europe on the 1st of Dec and would really like to have to only use 1 card to take pics the whole tripThe MicroCenter in Chicago has been running an ongoing special for a generic 1GB SD card or 1GB USB flash drive for $15 out the door. Don't know if you mind the generic or if you think $15 is cheap but I thought I would throw that out there. If you don't mind a $15 rebate and can use Google Checkout ($10 off $30 purchase at buy.com), you can have this Kingston 1GB SD card for $5 after rebate. (Note - gottadeal won't let me post links so search Kingston 1GB SD at buy.com)
artie852 Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 I live in chicago and the microcenter has great deals year around. I wonder what they have for BF.
rickjs Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 Uhm, My microcenter is doing BF so I think others would. Why arent there any ads here?
itztrue Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 i saw in the paper today, they had a "day after thanksgiving preview"// they had a 32in LCD HDTV for 380 after rebate, as well as a 42in LCD HDTV for 799 after 200 mail in rebate no brand names given but that is not a bad deal at all
igneous Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 Yeah I saw the tv ad up on another BF site today
elena_398 Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 Is that a store? Never heard of it if it is
projectorsrule Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 Micro Center is a national chain of Computer superstores similar to CompUSA but much better. It started in a small storefront in the late 70's in the back of Lane Avenue Mall near Ohio State selling Apple II's. They now have 19 stores nationwide and have been named at the best computer retailer by consumer reports. Locations are • CA - Santa Clara • CA - Tustin/Irvine - Construction News • CO - Denver • GA - Duluth/Gwinnett • GA - Marietta • IL - Chicago • IL - Westmont • KS - Overland Park • MA - Cambridge • MI - Madison Hts/Troy • MN - St. Louis Park • NY - Westbury/Long Island • OH - Columbus • OH - Mayfield Heights • OH - Sharonville • PA - St. Davids/Radnor • TX - Houston • TX - Richardson • VA - Fairfax I started going there when I was in Junior High School in 1978 when it was just the two owners working. They also have X-Box 360 premium for $299 in store after $100 MIR.
forcedtoregister Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 MC is great for electronics and things and, at least at the Mayfield Heights, OH location is looked over for BF because of it's location. I LOVE IT. MicroCenter, CC, TRU, Target, WM, BB, CostCo, and Michael's all in the same shopping center or w/in .5 mile. It's like BF Mecca
mhissticobra Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 What's wrong with the Mayfield Height's location? I am thinking about going there for a TV.
forcedtoregister Posted November 20, 2006 Posted November 20, 2006 I was praising MC in Mayfield Heights, not slamming it. It's just that it's not a HUGE national store like the places right around it. So, when people go they line up in front of the other's like CC and BB while leaving MC alone. It' not that MC is bad, it's just know as known so it leaves great treasures to be had for those of us who take the time to go on BF (or other days). What's wrong with the Mayfield Height's location? I am thinking about going there for a TV.
mhissticobra Posted November 20, 2006 Posted November 20, 2006 ohh, ok-I gotcha now! That 42" for $800 is looking better and better as I look at it! What time do people start lining up for MC since it is overlooked?
