Not a hot deal but I think it belongs here.....

Are Hot Deals Over?
According to above article they will be over this coming season!?
I guess we will have to start shopping early this year.

Only legitimate hot deals may be posted on the Hot Deals forum. Any questions, comments, or asides - ANYTHING other than a hot deal - MUST be posted in one of the Moderator sponsored threads, easily found through the magic of scrolling.

Yep, I was just thinking that today. I doubt we will see the bargains we use to see. I miss the days of the great deals. I think we only run across one or two a month.

Yup, sad but true. Last year, I did almost all of my xmas shopping online. Thanks to VA, Mercata, KB Toys, and Toys R Us, I saved a bundle. Please don't tell me that I've got to pay retail this year...

Was only a matter of time before SOMEBODY realized that you can't run a business by taking a loss to every customer that places an order. While I am going to miss the HOT deals, I'm surprised the madness lasted this long.

If there is no price advantage, there is not much of an advantage to online shopping. May as well just go pick it up at the B&M store to get it faster. Unless you live out in the sticks like me...some things such as Best Buy are 45 minutes away....blah.

don;t be a pessimist...there will always be new deals

Maybe Time should've picked Pierre Omidyar instead of Jeff Bezos for Man of the Year
