Please list places that'll have good Boxing Day deals.Boxing Day is just over a week away!

I can't wait. I am probably going to the hobby stores, LOL. 20% to 25% off is good.

I was so pumped up about the last sale Imperial Hobbies had, but in the three months I've been shopping around, I have come to realize that the mark up at Imperial Hobbies is so high that 30% off would still make their stuff more expensive than at other shops. Example: a Tamiya 1/350 IJN Mogami is selling for $250.00 at Imperial Hobbies. The same model sells for $150.00 at two other hobby shops. WTH? One of the other shops is having a 20% off Boxing Day sale. Guess where I'm going? Not going to Imperial, unless they have like a 50% off sale. Sheesh.


Last Year's NCIX boxing day sale was pretty lame, IIRC. Hopefully this year will be better.

Boxing Day is pretty much a marketing ploy. Historically, Boxing Day was a way to clear out inventory, but because stores are now pretty good at maintaining inventory throughout the year, there's no need to liquidate old stock at fire sale prices. Stores still put out a few loss leaders here and there to draw people in, but you can find better deals on stuff throughout the year.

20 years ago, it was worth waiting in the cold at A&B on Seymour for a few hours to save a few hundred bucks. Now, we're stuck with hitting F5 a hundred times per minute trying to save 20 bucks on December 24. How times have changed. :(

Also, easy accessibility to Black Friday deals have made Boxing Day even more meaningless.

But really, somewhere like RFD is where to go to get the real lowdown on the deals...

The two hobby stores. One of them just got in a new shipment of models. I've got my eye on more than just a few. Unlike Imperial Hobbies, their everyday prices are where they should be. So, at 20% off, it's pretty much a good deal. Cheaper than eBay.

How's everyone's experience with Boxing Day at computer retails like NCIX/ME?

Do I actually have to line up to get killer deals..or is sitting in front of the comp hitting F5 going to yield the same results? Do their servers crash easily? haha

oh and can i still choose pick-up for those "doorcrashers" online as long as i get the transaction thru?

I remember a couple years back at ncix there was always a lineup on boxing day morning for the door crashers. Just have a list of everything u want so they can put your order through. As for online I'm not too sure what the process is

Their servers will crash when the sale starts - it's guaranteed. There will be probably several thousand people trying to get onto the server at 5 PM - it's that crazy. If you really want to know what's on sale, someone on RFD is usually nice enough to post a screen cap shortly after the sale starts.

I disagree. I do most of my disposable income shopping around that time.

It's the one time of the year where competition is high between retailers and manufacturers because of the volume of interest from buyers. There's still many items with high margins that come under pressure. The retailer doesn't always have to take a loss for you to get a good deal. Maybe you don't get inventory clearouts, but you now have online comparison shopping (across the US) instead.

Very true, just did marketing final on all of this.

Btw does anyone know whether it be better to get a laptop(all around use, game/school/etc.) thru future shop /bestb, ncix (even tho sale will be crap), or any other places that will have good deals?TIA

i havent go on a boxing day sale in 8 yrs, its waste of time

some stores mark up their items higher so after the discount is still more expensive than the regular price.

i was going to buy a bag say $70 bucks before boxing day, i decided not to buy it coz boxing day is coming.. then they mark that bag higher and after the 40 or 50% is still like $80 bucks or so...

since then, i never step into the mall during boxing day

yup boxing day is weak

On another note, it's a good time to buy a ps3 though. You can get a ps3 with NHL 11 and infamous or uncharted 2 and a dual shock bundle of your choice. I would grab the god of war dualshock bundle. So you're basically getting free games and an extra controller :thumbsup:

If you're really cheap then you can try to pricematch EB's $50 off ps3 promotion as well :lol

Boxing day is only good if you know what to look for. Buy the brands or items that traditionally don't go on sale. Especially when stores have blanket statements such as "entire store on sale".

Home theatre in a box? Or amp/receiver and speakers? If the latter, you can buy a decent Klipsch 5.1 speaker set this week for $299 at FS. Add an el-cheapo receiver for 300ish and you're good to go.

Waiting on someone to post up a BB or FS flyer.

Unless it's leaked by an insider (which doesn't happen often these days, I'm afraid), you'll have to wait for RFD to post it up which is typically 1-3 days before Dec. 24. Fortunately, they're able to get high-res copies so you can check model numbers, etc.

I work at home outfitters, so if anyone needs some kitchen electrics like a blender or something. Tomorrow morning from 8am-11am. We have 20% off everything if you use your hbc mastercard. And if you get a flyer on the 23rd, you can have 25% off one item in the store. And as for boxing day the only deal that really stands out to me is a kitchenaid stand mixer for 199.99. Only available in chrome. These are normally 349.99.

Also if anyone wants, this is just for employees, They are giving me a coupon for one of these upcomming days, its $150 a dyson vaccum plus my employee 10% off, but its one per employee, im 18 and won't be needing a dyson since my mom already has one. If anyone needs one pm me. No point letting a great deal go to waste.

Sorry, I just called my manager and was mistaken. The dyson deal is also for upright and canister vaccuums, and i found out the cheapest one is around 499.99, and tomorrow is 20% off from 8am-11pm. So i did the math, you can walk out with a dyson for $313.59. Which is originally 499.99. This isnt available for customers so please don't go in saying you heard of this deal.

Convenience is good, but if you're willing to spend a bit more (or are patient enough to find clearance deals), getting proper speakers and a receiver is the way to go. If anyone out there wants something inconspicuous (i.e. Bose but with way better sound) Best Buy has a 5.1 Boston Acoustics micro-speaker set for $399 this week. I listened to them earlier this year at another specialty retailer and they're actually pretty good for such small speakers.

Thanks for the advice, yet my hearing isn't good enough to notice the difference, especially in my small condo.

I want the convenience of being able to add the S-AIR option for wireless rear speakers. The Sync feature is a nice bonus.

Plus buying speakers and amp separately is typically twice as much as these in-a-box sets, even when on sale since the box sets go on sale too :)

Well it's $99 at London Drugs right now... if you're still interested in the HD555.

Don't know anything about what's going on sale yet at London Drugs, but older Xbox360's (Elites, special editions like COD2 or FF13) are definitely going on the sale list at my location during Boxing Day. Most likely some external drives, some laptops (HP is most likely candidate).

Since A&B went down, Visions has taken over as offering the ridiculous deals on Boxing Day. Unless they've gotten tight this year, they'll probably have a few door crashers that you will have to wait several hours to get.

Don't know anything about what's going on sale yet at London Drugs, but older Xbox360's (Elites, special editions like COD2 or FF13) are definitely going on the sale list at my location during Boxing Day. Most likely some external drives, some laptops (HP is most likely candidate).

Convenience is good, but if you're willing to spend a bit more (or are patient enough to find clearance deals), getting proper speakers and a receiver is the way to go. If anyone out there wants something inconspicuous (i.e. Bose but with way better sound) Best Buy has a 5.1 Boston Acoustics micro-speaker set for $399 this week. I listened to them earlier this year at another specialty retailer and they're actually pretty good for such small speakers.

Best Buy has this Yamaha system on sale for $399, $300 off, on boxing day:

It is likely a Best Buy Canada exclusive. The receiver appears to be the HTR3063 which is Yamaha's entry level model: http://www.yamaha.ca/av/Receivers/HTR3063.jsp

The receiver doesn't have on-board DTS-HD/Dolby TrueHD decoding, so make sure you set your PS3/Blu-Ray to "LPCM" as opposed to Bitstream.

Hmm if that is the case wouldn't it save them work/time if they have the product in stock?

Is it a possibility to buy the product again at boxing day price and refund it with your old receipt on the same day? I can't see why not, unless they are not doing refunds on boxing day, if that's the case just come back the next day, the product won't be opened anyways.

all I know is boxing day is a joke these days. I will check it out later in the day to see if theres anything good but I don't see any point in waiting outside a store for 5 hours to get $200 off on a tv. It's better off going later in the day and seeing what ok deals you can find that people of missed or there was so much stock it will take them a week to sell it all.

I noticed Costco carries it as well. I'm sure they would have lost money on the TV if customers kept returning them. It's the second most sold flat screen brand in the US ( obviously due to the lower price ).

Most of the internal LCD glass panels are supplied by Sony, LG, Panasonic, and Samsung. So lower end brands like Vizio or Zenith have at least the LCD Panel supplied by these major companies.

Dunno if it's been mentioned but best buy is selling a 60 inch sharp led 1080p 120hz for 1399.99 800 dollars off.

Best buy at lansdown has around 20 for boxing day. It's a ticket item so you're gonna have to be first in line
Posted via RS Mobile (http://www.revscene.net/forums/announcement.php?a=228)

is that the 4 coloured one? or just the normal 3 colour one?

anything from ikea
looking for a new bed and desk

I just bought a new bed from Ikea 2 nights ago and picked up the Grimen. Looked better then most there and seemed to be one of the more sturdier ones. It had no price tag on it so I asked them. After bringing up in their computer she printed off the sheet and it was $329.99 for the queen from $549.99 which is a solid deal. I don't have the Ikea flyer so not sure if this is an actual posted deal or I just lucked out somewhow.

This is the Grimen http://www.ikea.com/ca/en/catalog/products/S39849935

^ ya i think so too... once after ur done ur 100% waiting room.. u will probably get an error msg. just refresh like crazy. and keep clicking on ur cart

finally you will be able to check out. and submit your order.

While you are in error part, i think you are still in queue.

Pretty sure the WD Elements 1TB ext. HD is on sale for 69 at FS or BB.

Picked up a 160GB PS3 Slim + 4 games + extra DS3 for 299 at BB.
I had a choice of 3 combo packs(game + DS3) and Uncharted 2 GOTY/Little Big Planet. When I opened the box, there was also NHL 11 and Infamous. No idea that it came with those as well, no indication on box. Sweet.

Also picked up a new desktop from BB online after 4 refreshes.

Order it; it says you have the option of pickup and they send you an email 3 hours before store hours or some shit for confirmation. I ordered the studio ones and they sent me that e-mail saying I can pick up.

I don't understand why the site crashes EVERY year, why don't they upgrade/fix?!
Because let's say to handle the Boxing Day load, they need 200 web servers, but for the remainder of the year, 10 web servers are more than enough... it's not cost effective for them to put another 190 web servers into production just to handle the load for a few hours.
