Do you know if the sharp is an aquos or not? I'm really tempted to buy this, and even working on shift trading so I'm not working when the sale starts.

Any idea how many sharps they'll have in stock?(General idea, I know you can't give an exact number)or an idea of what time I should arrive?

Thanks for answering the questions, it's much appreciated.

Couldn't they just claim ignorance since the BF ad is not officially out yet? Seems strange that they'd offer something that hasn't been in stock in awhile.

jmoney48 said:michaelkenyon: you cant trust the online locator thingy. maybe you should call each store. if the manager is smart, then they will stock up on the tv's which are on sale, the other day our manager asked us (the sales force) what tv's to order, we told her all the stock numbers for the high comission tvs cuz we're always sold out. i told her to order the ones which will be on sale for friends and fam night, but i dont think she knew which ones those were. you will probably have to order whatever tv you want to buy, unless you are lucky and your Sears has it in stock. take the sharp 46 for example, its an old model and probably no Sears has them in stock (unless the distribution center ships them out to the stores the friday before nov 11th). no, the football promotion is for all hdtv's.
btw, friends and family night is nov eleventh (11th) not 17th.Gotcha. Thanks very much

rastascott said:I just got a copy of the Friends and Family ad from my local Sears. The flyer is very clear that you may not combine offers. I do not believe the current instant rebate will combine with the 10% MIR although I really wish it would. Also, there is no sign of the Sharp 46 inch TV in the ad. Here are the prices based on the actual ad. I am not sure how to upload a file here. I started a similar thread on SD that has the flyer.

So if those are all the TV's that in the ad, then they aren't showing the BF doorbuster TV's, like the 56" Panasonic LIFI tat I want. But then this contradicts the first post in this thread. I hope it is still included in this next Sunday!

FWIW, the one in my nearest store undoubtedly was maladjusted, even tho the salesdork said it was fine.

Regardless, the picture was awful with a useable viewing field of maybe 45 degrees. I may go look at other stores to see how theirs are.

The 42" Philips is exluded? ..or just not worth mentioning? I was looking at the ambient light one and has pretty good reviews, so wondering if it would be in the group of "door-busters."

So it sounds like we just need to figure out if all of these promotions will stack or not. From what rastascott says, it doesn't look like they will.

telamon99: yes u can do that, our sale price is 1099 so you dont need the raincheck.
nullimit: yes it usually takes 3-5 days to get a tv delivered to the store.

the sony 46 is probably this one here

So if you don't use a Sears card the only discount you get is 5%, is that correct?

TIA

This could be a great deal if indeed Sears put these TV's on sale AND subtract the instant football savings.
Keeping my fingers crossed. I really need a TV and I've been following FW for a few weeks now waiting to pounce on the right deal.
I've had a few in store rejections including at Sears. The manager over at Torrance CA Sears will not let them PM and subtract the instant football savings.
