  • Bargain Banter: Even Without The Snow, It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas

    November 9th, 2007 by markdownmom

    The Halloween residue is quickly being moved out with drastic markdowns up to 90% off and the shelves are full with Holiday Fare.  Look for early sales even before Black Friday such as this upcoming Veteran’s Day.  Holidays are welcomed by retailers especially with recent slump in sales; however, bargain hunters if items on your wish list go on sale, especially popular items, grab them because with years and years of tighter inventory control, stocks may be limited and you could be out of luck if you wait for the "super sales."   For example, Sam’s Club has XBox and PS3 available, but still has not received its’ supply of Wii–you can be sure that when it comes it, it will be quickly grabbed.  The best advice MDM can give to avoid paying many $$$ on Ebay™ in a bidding war, locate these popular items as soon as possible to avoid the price scalpers!

    For the popular Nintendo Wii® check these sites today:

    • Best Buy, currently sold out $249.99
    • Amazon, 87 available $369.90
    • Walmart,, choice bundle $627.56, limit 1 per customer
    • Gamestop, $484.93, prerelease ships 11/30
    • Toys R Us, console $249.99, bundle $519.93, in stock limit 1 per customer, free shipping on toy purchases $49+
    • Target, not sure what they are doing, offering gift cards for Wii, up to $1000, suggests that they may be getting it in sometime.
    • Ebay, a number of selections, with as many price options
    • HamGo, starting prices $399.95, place order now and ships November 12th
    Finally, when all else fail, check Shopzilla and online shopping search engines.  However, it’s apparent that on popular items, there is going to be quite a competition for limited stock, better to start now and avoid the frenzy!
