My first order @ Newegg is already in packaging stage.

Just remember the Ferengi Rules of Acquisition.

Aren't the best savings after the holidays, shortly after the electronics expo?

Depends on the item.

For nice TVs, yes the best deals are around then- like Superbowl Sunday.

For crap TVs you buy your mom because she is blind so size and looking like a good son matters more than picture quality, you buy those on Black Friday/Cyber Monday.

Hmm good point.

One hypothesis is that earlier sales pulled demand forward. That's possible. My only question is why stores would need to do that. The whole point of a clearance sale is to clear out surplus inventory that accumulates as a result of poor sales.

doesn't work for me at home either. Just paste the article.

EDIT>> I bought a $600 tv because it was available online Wednesday (in multiple places) instead of Thursday... a lot of deals were already available Wednesday. They mention 4-day weekend which that is not a part of.

I bought $200 worth of gift cards from Del Taco. For Cyber Monday, they're including 16 free combo meals with that purchase. I still have credit on my Del Taco gift card from last CM, but it's a deal too good to pass up. $1 1/2 pound bean burritos FTW. MINO.

I noticed that as well. Mostly crappy TV's on sale.
