Happy New Year, y'all, we're now open for business. Here's hoping for even better deals this year
.
I cant believe its the 6th & I am still getting sale flyers ugh....
My husband has been complaining too. Macys, Pennys, Sears and Kohls have all warned they had lower sales year-over-year for the season. Oddly enough, they also weren't really willing to discount this year. We've been looking for a computer and to some degree a camera and no-contract phone. But the deals simply weren't there. I ended up buy a used computer (with fingers crossed), am using my mom's camera and we didn't find a phone worth buying.

I predict Amazon and Best Buy will have done the best this year. (earnings/sales).
Macy & KMart/Sears is Closing stores. Best Buy has ALL their Returns...Open Box on 1/2 the marked price. Don't seem to me they made or are making anything.

No sure why you buy a Used PC but wont except a PC out of the store that at least has a warranty. Or even an Open Box PC.
