deelite Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 What if Walmart intentionally did not put a laptop in the "leaked" BF paper, so that people who have bought one from them already won't know until it is too late to take them back!! Some people might look at the one from BB and say well it is not that big of difference so I'll keep mine. While in the mean time Wal-mart is waiting for the 15 day return period to run out before they put out the entire ad. IT IS A CONSPIRACY I TELLS YA!!!! Just playin'.......or am I.....

deelite Posted November 9, 2006 Author Share Posted November 9, 2006 well ya know... I hope you are right.. cause the only reason I was going to go to Walmart first this year.. was for a laptop.Under the store specific forum, one lady claims her sil said that Wal-mart actually did leak the ad so that everyone would get off of their backs. She also claims that a couple of days before BF, Wal-mart is going to drop a REALLY big bomb against the competition! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daz Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 I asked the store manager here about the 15 day return, he said all I have to do is bring the receipt back before 30 days and get it PM'd. I would think it would be a corporate policy, but it appears each store is different. But in either case it has to be the EXACT same laptop, which it will not be.

Last weekend's Laptop is history! If they do another laptop deal it will be a different model. Even if it is the same, they'll change the model # by one digit, or it will be the same price, so there's no price adjustment to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deelite Posted November 9, 2006 Author Share Posted November 9, 2006 Mine is in layaway until December 8th, so I get so see all of the goodies and then make mt decision. I know for sure I am not going through what all CC wants you to go through to get a $99 laptop (I hate a lot of rebates!). We'll have to see want everyone has to offer before making a final choice.

Aaron Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Last year they did have a copied piece of paper in all the stores with some special "last minute" deals, but I don't think they'd put out a fake ad. That takes too much time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abentley Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 The only thing that may back you up was the phrase" We aren't done yet". Of course it could mean anything, but this year was awful for me being able to find anything I wanted to buy. I do think they will pull a rabbit out of thier hat, and I cannot wait to see the week long ad that is mention on the bottem on the bf ad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laffnatu Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 I hope they aren't done because so far it looks like I'll be camping out with my hubby and my brother at Best Buy. I was hoping I would be in a nice warm Walmart instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigdogofftheporch Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 i hope that they will have a better deal on the lcd tv because i'm looking for a 42" with at lease a 1200 to 1 ratio all i see is 800 ,1000;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leefamily23 Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Well, I hope it's not a total fake there are a few things at prices I really want. That being said there was no "WOW" factor to the ad. I was really suprised, so I wouldn't be suprised if they came out w/ something more in the end.

jskarp Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 I believe that there will be an additional ad for Black Friday. I bet they will do what they did last year and put an additional piece out the day or so before :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they might actually add some more items (including a cheaper laptop) and drop some of the prices like they did last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amdskip Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 Yes it has to be a pre-release ad. I am 99.9% sure that the laptop that they should have will be a unique UPC # on BF. You won't be able to pricematch with the BF price even if they are identical specs unless you find a stupid manager or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I hadn't already bought my 6 yr old neice's gifts, there may be a few other things.Someone got my son the hummer last year, and the truck the year before. They were pieces of junk. Really cheap plastic, and they just fell apart. Many places run sales on the better ones so they are about the same price. Circuitcity.com has a really nice truck on there now for 19.99.. free shipping over $24.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
