Speaking of Christmas, do you think it would be cheaper to wait a little longer for prices to come down?

Posted by Subversive Oct 30 '08, 14:28

Given the whole recession thing, retailers should be getting pretty desperate pretty soon, yes?

Responses:

yes. they are going to be doing some serious discounting, imo. they've got inventory and pce has gone negative.... - x Oct 30, 14:46
Marginally cheaper I guess. -- nm - Loyola Oct 30, 14:36
I'm going to wait as long as I can because of this. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 30, 14:30 1
- I cleaned up getting all of Jacen's toys the week before on Amazon, and plan on doing so again. -- nm - TFox Oct 30, 14:31
the cheapest thing you could do is disown your friends and family -- nm - dogbert183 Oct 30, 14:29 4

- Tampa's lost has made you bitter. -- nm - David Oct 30, 14:34 2
  - "Tampa's Lost"? What's that, a pseudonym for Heroes? :) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 30, 14:37
  - Err, loss. -- nm - David Oct 30, 14:34
Well, you might want to wait until the Christmas sales *start*, first of all. - TFox Oct 30, 14:28 12
- Yeah, I have a baby due in 30 days. My crunch time does not necessarily line up with the norm this year. -- nm - Subversive Oct 30, 14:33 9
  - Doesn't that make it a bit easier? Buy 35 frames, insert pic of new baby, deliver cuteness, done and done? -- nm - TFox Oct 30, 14:35 8
    - Well, for grandparents, aunts, uncles, yes. For close family not so much. - Subversive Oct 30, 14:36 7
      - There is nothing my family want more than pictures of moose jr. Nothing. - musubi Oct 30, 14:42
      - So they get bigger pictures. -- nm - TFox Oct 30, 14:37 5
        
        I'll give it some thought. Also, where may I subscribe to your newsletter? -- nm - Subversive Oct 30, 14:40 3
        
        Seriously, for the closer family: bigger prints or do hardcover photo books on Snapfish. - TFox Oct 30, 14:46 2
        
        We got hardcover photobooks of moose Jr from Costco. Parents *loved* them. (nm) - musubi Oct 30, 14:47 1
        
        The only reason we aren't doing it this year is because people flipped equally for us writing a Christmas book, and that is cheaper. -- nm - TFox Oct 30, 14:48
        
        that's officer thinking -- nm - Beryllium Oct 30, 14:40
- There was an article in the last couple days about how desperate retailers will likely be to unload BluRay players by Xmas. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 30, 14:30 1
  - (ooops - meant to respond to Sub's post.) -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 30, 14:30
