Havic Posted November 5, 2006 Posted November 5, 2006 I have 2 walmarts in the area and the one put the Laptop from the recent sales ad Out at midnight lastnight and there where people waiting in line at 8pm Not sure this laptop is worth that much trouble yeah it is a good deal but for another $100 you can get a P4 or a AMD 64bit processor The stores close each had 20 laptops which the one store is really small and the other is a huge super walmart. If the deals happen like this I will wait for BF bad enough to have to wait in line that day let alone 3 weeks of doing it each sunday morning
angelicswtnss Posted November 5, 2006 Posted November 5, 2006 It was a great deal! I went to the Wal-Mart in our area in IL this morning at 6:30am. I was number 10. I bought one there after the store opened at 7am walked around for 15 min then realized that I could go to another Wal-Mart and get one. I drove 10 min to another Wal-Mart which had 6 left behind the electronics counter. I asked for one for myself and a friend that was in the parking lot and the clerk handed me two. My friend showed up and we ended up getting 2 each!!!!

Havic Posted November 5, 2006 Author Posted November 5, 2006 Ok so I gave in today I left work at 10am and the doors at the super center wal-mart opened at Noon I then stood in line for 2 hrs they then just opened the doors and the race was on I was the second person standing in line so that wasn't so bad I then got in line they gave me a number I ended up being number 12. So I got the laptop I will see if something better is offered because I just put it on layaway so that if they offer a better one in the weeks to come I can just drop this one and grab the other one. Good job getting more than one but in this town people go crazy for a Sale and there was only 37 of them they where gone within 3 mins of the doors opening. If was kind of fun we told people that where coming to stand in line that they had them in the lawn and garden section... Which the maintence guy told us they where in the layaway area.
oscar1961 Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 You got to put it on layaway? not here, manager told us at 9pm no layaway and people left, there were 50 laptops but people were mad also, all 50 were sold by 12.
angelicswtnss Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 I can't believe they let you put it on layaway. They had a sign on the front door before they opened saying that the laptops cannot be put on layaway.
J_Man Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 That's what's bad around my area. Some, if not most, did that from what I heard. The idea I heard thrown around is that they were putting them on layaway until Black Friday. If they got a better deal they were going to cancel the layaway. Meanwhile people that COULD have bought it today didn't get a chance. It will make all stores that let layaway happen not let people do it next year I bet. I went today just to see what I could find, or find out.

skytrain Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 I couldn't believe it I bought one of these laptops at 1 pm. I was still in the store when they sold the last one at 2pm. Don't ask me why they still had some left that late. I think it is because it is the only non super walmart in the area so everyone went to the super ones.
Chuquita Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 Does anyone know what they will do with the laptops that are in lay away and returned or not picked up? Will they offer them at the same sale price?
