Black Friday / Cyber Monday Deals

[cyndy]

I did check the BB add and found that deal on the 4 (glad to know I wasn't going crazy) At any rate, that is a good deal and I haven't found any discounts anywhere on the 4 (unless Apple has one tonight.) As a rule, the great Black Friday deals on anything are those things the store only has less than a dozen of that you are one of the lucky to be in the line first for. I have got some great deals in the last 3 years that way. And I don't come any sooner than 2 hours before. If they don't have it, then go home. Do not pick up anything else but your great bargin you already researched before hand on your way to the checkout! And don't buy any of those cheap off brand electronics stores have as a lead in (really, a $49 tablet, a $99 HDTV???) If you can't afford anything but a $49 tablet, you can't afford to have a $49 paperweight useless item either.

The companies get away with it because the belief in Black Friday shopping deals is so ingrained in American culture that almost nobody checks to see how much of a deal the prices actually are.

I would say Canadians are no different. A large percentage of Canadian retailers are participating in Black Friday. One bank card poll found 6 in 10 Canadians will start their holiday shopping on Black Friday.

Thanks scifan57

I guess if someone received one as a gift they can always take it unopened to an apple store and let them check it and then they could probably get apple care it. Lucky for me less then a week ago an apple store opened only 15 minutes from where I live.

Must be only specific markets..........our BB ad only has an iPad 3 on sale with a gift card, no iPad 4.

A price data survey released this morning by the Wall Street Journal and Decide Inc., shows many of the bargains advertised as "doorbusters" tomorrow, were available at lower prices at other times of the year.

I've never done any black Friday shopping and don't plan to. Even if the prices were lower then, I wouldn't put myself through the ordeal, lol.

In San Diego the iPad4 and 2 are on sale in our ads. $40-$60 off it says.

Did you buy AppleCare at the time of purchase? In that case no inspection is required.

I've done it once but I did it online so no ordeal......I hate queues and crushes in shops so I'd never venture out to a one day sale!
