I don't think so. Target usually has some good ones on ad before Christmas & not necessarily on bf for around $88. I got one for my husband 2 Chrismas' ago for his shed. It's a 20" Memorex I think & it works great. They had a good amount of stock too, it was just in their normal Sunday ad on the cover. HTH

limabean -- first off, welcome to the forum!

 

No, I wouldn't camp out. Let's say your looking at a TV that retails for $175, and is on sale for BF for $100.

 

Is it worth camping out for 12 hours and enduring the madness and waiting in line for an hour to check out to grab a TV to save $75? In mathematical terms, $75/13 hours (12+1) = $5.76/hour.

 

And you might be enduring weather to make that $5.76/hour... Depending on where you live... http://s23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/Marcster2005/Smileypad/Weather/28_2_3v.gifhttp://s23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/Marcster2005/Smileypad/Weather/28_2_6v.gifhttp://s23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/Marcster2005/Smileypad/Weather/28_3_1.gif

 

It comes down to what's your time worth?

 

However, consider places that are less popular, like Staples, Officemax and Office Depot.

Yay! We think alike when it comes to Mathematical terms. I am a math/education major :cheesy: . I might hit the stores after they open to avoid the rush of people.

If a SD TV is the only thing you are looking for, then I would not bother with being at a store super early on BF, as there is very little demand, and there may not even be a sale on them. Everyone will be knocking the doors down for some Plasma or LCD deal.

Rather than wait in line of BF, you could also possibly spend that time filling out envelopes for the McDonalds Monopoly game and get a great deal on a TV at Best Buy.

But I thought Best buy wasnt involved with the Mcdonalds monopoly game this year? Dis I miss something?

You didn't miss anything. Brad posted that prior to the release of the 2007 McDonald's Monopoly game rules. Best Buy isn't participating this year. McDonald's 2007 game partners are Toys R Us and Foot Locker.

 

Best Buy will still have some great prices on TV's on BF. I'm in the market for a 37" LCD HD...

anyone expect 42" and up to be under $700 this year?

thanks

I think this is very likely for two reasons. You can get a 42" HD plasma most days for $765 at Circuit City (if you can get a 10% coupon). Additionally, I got a 42" Sanyo HD plasma on clearance at WalMart for $700 back in July (at other locations, they were even cheaper at $550). Unfortunately, it's needing to be returned (I'm not happy with the warranty policy on it).

 

What I'm curious about is whether there will be a 50" that cracks the $1000 barrier. I'm becoming more and more convinced one will.
