Any good deals around? I saw some flyers with door crashers yesterday and actually paused for a second thinking "Door crashers? For what?" and realized just how little boxing day seems to mean now with the advent of Black Friday here...

I'm looking for earmuffs. Not sure what the manly version of that word would be, but earmuffs nonetheless. :fullofwin:

[fliptuner]

Real men wear trappers and toques.

interested in earmuffs too. :(

Googled this up to see what it looks like, never seen this situation before: $499CAD on amazon.ca and it's $579USD on amazon.com... something that's way more expensive in USA than Canada?!?!

[Durrann]

looking for blue tooth speakers if anyone knows a good deal

[6o4__boi]

$800 and a home mini as good as it gets for pixel 2?

I remember being in this same position last year and there was nothing good on boxing day.

Signing up on Koodo on a large tab and cancelling is the best you can get actually.

$504 + (prorated plan forgot what this was) + sim for the 64GB

Yea it’s odd and the amazon prices are 200+ cheaper than in most stores locally.

May want to pull the trigger before they figure it out lol

With NCIX dead in the water, any suggestions on computer companies to keep an eye on for internal desktop components for Boxing Day?

Seems like amazon and memory express have similar pricing, MacBook Pro hard drive died on me and seems like an SSD upgrade is gonna happen.

[Mr.HappySilp]

I might need to get a laptop. Desktop is acting weird lately. Most likely just the HDD but I haven't done any upgrades to it for 5 years. Honestly I feel like a laptop is better for me atm.

Just need something that can watch Netflix, youtube. Must be decent looking. I was thinking of HP Envy line but most people say their hardware isn't good.

Any good suggestions from RS? Prefer something around $700 to $1000 max.

So if anyone is looking for an espresso machine, I just had BestBuy price beat the amazon price of $499 so before tax it came to $473..BB in store price was over $700 lol

After a tonne of research and reading opinions on this machine this is one of the best reviewed things I’ve bought in a long time. On amazon it’s 4.8 stars out of 5 with over 700 reviews and similar results on BestBuy etc

This is pretty much the best price this thing has ever gone for

I did. Went to to the airport outlets. Wasn't too bad. Got there around 9:30 am. Had to drive around the outlets to the overflow parking lot. But still only a short 3 min walk to the outlets. Went to eat at Japadog around 11 and you can see all the cars stopped on Arthur Laing Bridge waiting to get into the outlets. I feel bad for anyone who was trying to get to the airport at that time.

That looks like a good haul, I was looking at that Kenwood but it sold out already and yea I've had a Kenwood dd before and it had screen issues and was quite slow. Pioneer is much better. I was tempted because it was much cheaper than getting in the states, was excelon (so higher range?) and it was for my parents so most features won't be used.

I'm wondering if I should bother to go check out sounds good? But they don't list their deals online:okay:

I just picked up a CarPlay capable deck at Soundsgood in Burnaby. Walked in, saw Keith, he showed me a few things and I walked out within 10 minutes of going in.

I knew enough about decks that I didn't need to ask anything............. until I realized how things have changed. I trust him, so bought what he recommended. Good deal it was.


Addendum........... please don't pm me about how much I paid. It's all about being a good customer and not a dick. There are no prices listed in a flyer because it's not that kind of a place. Trust me when I say there were some good deals. I wasn't looking for speakers, but there were some that were deeply discounted. Just go in and get to know them. Plain and simple. Find the time. It's well worth it.

^It's great when you don't know what you don't know much/what you're looking for, but for people who know exactly what they want and are going to DIY it, they're gonna want the price listed, because great service doesn't matter at that point, they're gonna purchase from the place that has the lowest price.

[Hondaracer]

To me, if you can’t beat or at least match an online price, there is no incentive for me to shop there.

Let alone if you aren’t willing to list your prices, the chances of me driving there to just have a look are zero.

[MG1]

Yeah, I know little about what I want. Let's see............... IASCA zone champion......... been to the IASCA World Invitationals to represent Western Canada. Totally DIY system with dual battery system with dual alternators to eliminate noise in system, plug and play custom crossover board, etc. Got an Alpine F#1 Status system in my truck, etc. Months and months of work, etc.

I told Keith what I was looking for and he pointed me to the best deck for the price with all the features mentioned. Sorry I made it sound like I knew nothing about sound systems.

And, great service does matter, even for a DIY'er. Not everyone is going to be competing in sound-offs or anything, but there are times you need a little help like adjusting the system for sound quality, etc. RTA, for example (which I also happen to have). Second opinions and from people who are trained in the art of system design and integration into the vehicle, goes a long way. I'm also getting old and hearing isn't as good as it used to be. Not being able to detect that 3db dip somewhere in the 250hz range like I used to. Shit that affects the overall sound quality of a system, which I can still appreciate, even with the slight loss in hearing. Overtone series of certain instruments. Stuff that let you hear the difference between a flugelhorn and a trumpet. Oh, and harpsichord played on a great sounding system will send shivers up and down your spine. Sorry for the rambling.......... won't even get into the soundstage and imaging of the system or the over processing of the content. Natural is always better. Processing, only to get that last 5% to overcome the shortcomings due to the physical layout of the vehicle.


Anyway................... not here to argue. god bless

[twitchyzero]

I understand why they don't want people to shop around
but it's boxing day
reminds me of the old flyers with no prices '2 LOW 2 SHOW!!!'

it will work with the older/long-time clients, but that's not really how we shop any more

oh and with how prevalent Spotify/Netflix etc is, I doubt majority even those upgrading new decks care about sound stage, etc

[Mr.HappySilp]

With online shopping so easy if the traditional brick and mortar don't even list their to show they are on par or cheaper than online shopping why should I take the risk to go?

If there is a deal online and I don't need the items right away then yea I will find the cheapest price online and just buy it. Even of locals are cheaper it might not be worth it to actual go.

Is sad but that's the truth. Online shopping is so easy and if brick and mortar don't even try harder to get my business why should I do more work to buy it form you?

The only time I actually buy something local is when I need the item right away, is actually a lot cheaper than online or is on my way. Otherwise online shopping it is.

With online shopping so easy if the traditional brick and mortar don't even list their to show they are on par or cheaper than online shopping why should I take the risk to go?

If there is a deal online and I don't need the items right away then yea I will find the cheapest price online and just buy it. Even of locals are cheaper it might not be worth it to actual go.

Is sad but that's the truth. Online shopping is so easy and if brick and mortar don't even try harder to get my business why should I do more work to buy it form you?

The only time I actually buy something local is when I need the item right away, is actually a lot cheaper than online or is on my way. Otherwise online shopping it is.

First of all, I got the deck for way cheaper than any on line web site. Even cheaper than Visions (by quite a large margin). The deck came out like four or five months ago. It isn't last year's model or some overstock item that nobody wanted. What if you had issues with the item? You going to ship/return the item to, let's say, Crutchfield hoping to get it dealt with in a timely matter?

I went in there and got rewarded with a really good deal. I can't speak for the owners of places like Soundsgood, which btw happens to be a RS sponsor, but I don't think they're ever going to be, or want to be, like a Visions or a Best Buy.

When it comes to home audio or televisions, I go to Sunny Electronics. I've dealt with the same sales guy for decades. Always got good deals that were always less than Best Buy, Visions, etc. I have good rapport/relationship with them. If anything goes wrong with the product, I know they've got my back. They are knowledgeable and always uptodate with the latest.

I really don't care where people buy their shit. And, it's almost starting to sound like I'm defending local businesses, but there are advantages to supporting local businesses. If you buy something from a big box, on-line business and you're happy, then I'm happy for you.

My son moved into a condo and wanted a television and a few other electronic items. I went with him to Sunny Electronics. I told the owner what we were looking for and he gave us a few choices and beat Best Buy's Best Deal.

Last year, I wanted an amplifier. After some research, I decided on a specific model. I phoned up Sunny Electronics and said, "Hey, xxxxxxx, I'm looking for a xxxxx. Do you carry it?" Yup. "Best Buy has it on sale for, xxxxxxx. Can you match the price?" Sure enough, I got it for less.

There's nothing like going into a place where you chat with the owner of the establishment. I get it that people are now, now, now. I want it now and cheap and I want, want, want. And what's with the taking a risk thing all about?

why should I take the risk to go?

So if anyone is looking for an espresso machine, I just had BestBuy price beat the amazon price of $499 so before tax it came to $473..BB in store price was over $700 lol

After a tonne of research and reading opinions on this machine this is one of the best reviewed things I’ve bought in a long time. On amazon it’s 4.8 stars out of 5 with over 700 reviews and similar results on BestBuy etc

This is pretty much the best price this thing has ever gone for

Did you have a drip maker before? If you did, did you get rid of it?

Did you have a drip maker before? If you did, did you get rid of it?

have a decent Delonghi drip machine, we kept it however may give it away.

Havent touched the drip machine since, i'm tempted to keep for parties etc. but just another thing taking up cabinet space.

The coffee's i'm making with the espresso machine are soooo much better than the drip
