Hello, I am a newbie here. I am considering of buying a 40"~46" HDTV this year. Based on your experience, how much can you save on a $1000 item if you grab it on black Friday?

I just picked up a really nice 42" panasonic plasma that got delivered yesterday, after bing CashBack and pricematch it was $485. It's in the hot deals section I'm sure its still alive too, from us appliance.
Black Friday doesn't seem to be what it used to be, there were some deals last year but it seemed like there were better deals throughout the year last year than on black friday. Maybe because the economy isn't good, but I remember with BF seemed really special and was worth getting up at 3am.
Black Friday really is one of the better times to buy something I think. Of course, it always depends. For example, you'll probably see three or four model 40-46" TV deals on Black Friday where as if you just watch the forums, you'll see all sorts of models and prices pop up. So I guess as long as you're happy with the model you are getting, Black Friday is the time to buy it. I hope that all made sense.
Black Friday is all about chances. You might find something you like at a dirt cheap price. They might only have a few on hand also. If I saw a good deal I would go for it personally right now because black Fridays recently has been a let down to me. Glad to have sites like FW and SD to use year around to help me

Hi,
Exactly, Black friday is all about chances as if yo get good chance of grabing what you want than it has been the oppurtunity for you grab it as fast before its too late.
These sites are no doubt very good also you can find wallmart too, as this also facilitates you with good discounts and coupens too.

See a deal now then buy it now. The last couple BF's have not been very good for stuff I wanted.

Hi,
But I guess, this coming Black friday will be the best with good discounts and deals on several items like electronics, toys and other stuffs which will going to be the best part for all.
I think you should go for checking some deals that are providing best offers and also you can try out some good brands like WalMart which is offering quite a good deals.
Its really not worth going to the B&M retailers. Once upon a time they used to deals on great quality products. But these days the deals are on low quality products that were produced solely to be sold on Black Friday and probably wont last very long.
The last two years i've found that Amazon pretty much matches all the big box retailers for small things like movies and games, and have found good deals at some e-tailers like Newegg for quality electronics (I got $700 off an Onkyo Receiver from them last year). Last year was the first time in a long time that i didn't go to any stores. It was also nice to get my shopping done after at 12:01 am than getting up at 5:00 am and running to the store. Think i'll be doing the same this year.

bigbooger said:check the ad scans before black friday and do some research online to see if the items are good deals or not...I like bfads.net for that - I can keep a running wish/shopping list then use that to figure out what I want and where it is. Sort by price, item, etc - print or email the list.
How much is it worth to you to camp out waiting for hours hoping to get one of the few pieces a store has? I do not know where you are, but it can be VERY cold and dangerous to wait outside all night for a TV.
As others have said, you probably can get a real good deal on the TV you want if you follow the forums. I'm just guessing based on recent past experiences, but I would expect a $1000 item to only have a $100-$200 price break on BF. Considering a typical sale is 20% and typical electronic sales vary 10-20% (my opinion), I would get the TV when it's its on sale and not wait for BF. We at FW wait for good deals and then pounce on them! You have to be quick before they go OOS. Over the past two years, I haven't seen BF deals to draw me out of bed, but you may enjoy such misery!

I fully agree. It's all about taking your chances and seeing the last two sucked, who knows maybe this year Santa Claus will be in a giving (a sale) mood. I too look forward to BF but definitely from the comfort of my own home. The only thing I found worth getting was the WGT624 from Netgear because my friend was having problems with another router he bought. I think the price was $29.99.
I only made my first black friday purchase last year and I barely pulled that off.. I had to wait like 7+ hours for the HP site to become reasonable to get 40% so no I wouldn't call it a guarantee.. still I hold a positive attitude they'll be some nice deals and I may score 1 or 2..
The fact is with onset of ebayers craig list sellers those camping out starting even Thanksgiving day. It seems online you may have a better chance of landing some deals. Last year did fairly well on bf with Amazon and blue ray movies as well as at Sears with the blue ray Panasonic player.While many enjoy the crowds pushing shoving just not sure if it is worth it. If you pay attention to here and other sites you can generally find great deals if willing to wait and watch.
