Should I buy now or wait for Black Friday?

[Freitag]

The TV I want is now on sale for about 1300, no tax, no shipping.

The question is, do I wait for black Friday or make the move now?

By comparison, Best Buy has it for 2000.

Decisions, decisions.

[KingGeno]

Wait wait wait.

Not only are the prices gonna be low for Thanksgiving/Christmas season......but remember that the digital TV cut-over is happening in February 2009 (http://www.obsessable.com/news/2008/09/22/the-digital-tv-cutover-explained/). There are going to be a lot of people saying "Ya know what? Why bother with this crap, and let's go buy a new TV". Prices will drop pretty low.

[SatCam]

did you buy a tv for the daytona 500 already

[sailor]

Wait wait wait.

increased demand raises prices. or are you trying to say something else?

The digital crossover is not going to affect a large portion of the American population.

New TV. 46". Want it with a PS3. Samsung with a matte finish.

[KingGeno]

Stores will be competing with eachother, and prices will drop. Decreased stock also.

There are ups and downs in every aspect of life. I assumed Freitag would already know this....unless you were indicating that he doesnt.........

[mikeyboy]

I was confused by that as well.

[IMSlacker]

increased demand raises prices? or are you trying to say something else?

Yeah, that was a head-scratcher. But, there will probably be all kinds of "switch-over" sales after Christmas.

decreased stock (product scarcity) would also raise prices.

mind you, i'm not saying prices will grow up, i just don't think your logic is working superbly.

[mikeyboy]

If there are more buyers, stores will need to compete with each other less, hence less of a price drop. Decreased stock also does nothing to decrease prices.

[KingGeno]

Nevermind then.

[topless_mike]

BUY NOW.

Fuck waiting for later. You'll be pissed when they are all gone.

When the blacks go out on that friday, its the tv's / xboxs / ps3's that are all gone.

all jokes aside. buy that shit now.

[JPMNICK]

just get it now, new house needs a new TV. plus you can mount it now and then not have to worry about making a mess later. it is worth not waiting in those fucking lines black friday either.

[ANC]

Check out www.crutchfield.com (http://www.crutchfield.com) they have great deals and free shipping as well.. I got my TV from them.

[King Hippos Bandaid]

buy now

1300 is a good price

so you may save 100 bucks, or you may get screwed

no times for what ifs

especially if u have the $$, you stocks and mutual funds may deteriorate by Black Friday


YOU BUY NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SinA]

a good price is a good price, if you've been wanting it for a while

of course, the price could go down, but you never know

if you get it now and the price goes down in 5 weeks, you'll say to yourself there's no way you'd give up your new awesome tv for a hundred lousy bucks (time value of awesome)

and you could go to the store on black friday to find that the tv is "out of stock"

ANC, you're a good man, but I've never seen "great prices" from Crutchfield as opposed to other internet retailers. The main reason you go to Crutchfield is because of the their AMAZING service.

The Samsung prices they have are WAY overpriced. Better than bestbuy, but not better than this deal.

Hmmm I got a great deal on mine, but if you find better deals I say have at it.

I ain't mounting crap. I got a free entertainment center with my furniture purchase.

I will discuss with wifey when I get home. I think she wants it more than I do.

[King Hippos Bandaid]

I can give a flying fuck what you do

trying to save you $$ though


2000 now 1300 is 35% off, if the TV is top of the line (1080p etc)

it is a good price


35% is a very good discount

[Don Stugots]

get it now. like RIGHT NOW.

[Freitag]

Why, are you coming over with popcorn and an ottoman?

What's e-mail for????

And, no, I don't want the new TV more than you do, I just want to finish unpacking.

[Freitag]

And, no, I don't want the new TV more than you do, I just want to finish unpacking.

So do I. Believe me. I just wanted to show it to you on the screen so we could look at it together and discuss as a partnership.

You know, what married people do.

[Don Stugots]

And, no, I don't want the new TV more than you do, I just want to finish unpacking, so get to work and stop posting.

FACE!

[King Hippos Bandaid]

Not top of the line. Samsung 630, mid-range stuff.

mid range , ooh

well, now you need to know if they are just unloading, if thats the case, it may drop to 50%

a tough call


but if you are looking for a nice TV and will settle with a lil lower quality (still a damn fine television)


you may want to wait

but Samsung is a good brand, it is still a good savings

tough call, you do want you new house to have a new TV, can youwait, that is the question

once I get my new house(end of year to early next year) I want a LCD TV ASAP

[Freitag]

FACE!

The irony?

She's at home right now, off the clock. I'm still in the office.

You were saying, Stu?

well, get home and help the poor girl. she is a wife, not your slave. Anne B Davis doesn't live in South Central Jersey.

[topless_mike]

no, if he gets one of those stands, and places it right, he can mount the wife and watch tv at the same time.

its all about efficiency these days.

[Thebazile78]

well, get home and help the poor girl. she is a wife, not your slave. Anne B Davis doesn't live in South Central Jersey.

It's "Ann B. Davis" and "Anne of Green Gables" (No "e" at the end of Alice's real-life name.)

And I telecommute on Fridays. I love telecommuting.

[sailor]

buy now

1300 is a good price

mad i'm getting back into this so late, but i was going to ask how you knew it was a good price not knowing what tv he was looking at. could be just as likely the other price was inflated.

Will you share where you are getting this great deal? Our bedroom TV is about to die and I want a nice 32".

[King Hippos Bandaid]

[~Katja~]

I sense some marital sexual tension... you guys don't need a TV, you need a dim lit room, some wine and music and best keep the heat off, cause it will get hot, guaranteed!

[topless_mike]

and I want a nice 32".

wont find any of that around here...

[Freitag]

and I want a nice 32".

*bites tongue HARD*

But seriously, what's your price range?

[Freitag]

Didn't Freitag come to us for advice about buying an HD TV a year ago? I swear if I looked theres a thread asking us for advice. How many HD TV's does this guy need. Doesn't he know were in a recession?



Man I spend too much time here

[Tenbatsuzen]

TV purchased. Good thing too, when I got back from dinner they were out of stock.

In the new place? Yes. I decided to stick with Comcast for the time being and I'll revisit going to Direct TV down the road.

[landarch]

New TV. 46". Want it with a PS3. Samsung with a matte finish.

I got my samsung 46" matte finish TV around Mother's day with wall mount, wires, tax, and a 2 year service agreement for $1150. PC Richards is the best because you can negotiate the prices a bit, plus you don't have to pay for shipping if you take it home yourself.

That had to be a 4 or 5 series.

I didn't get the service agreement; my credit card covers the warranty.

Plus there's always squaredeal.

You also had to pay tax.

Can I come over and watch the game with you guys tonight?

[Tenbatsuzen]

Can I come over and watch the game with you guys tonight?

Funny you should say that. The TV arrived tonight. Since the HDMI was already set up, I spent more time taking it out of the box than hooking it up.

It's now set up.

And it's fucking RIDICULOUS.



How ridiculous is it?



More ridiculous than Stephanie McMahon's boob job.

[disneyspy]

when frietag finds out you bought his tv hes gonna be PISSED!

Getting ready to watch football.
