I LOVE, absolutely LOVE how retailers ALWAYS say, "shop early THIS year we are running low inventories and sales won't be as good later as they are now

And they ALWAYS have good sales later. It's like the annual retailer lie week.

Has anyone ever heard a retailer say, "save your money the real deals will be the week before and after Christmas"?

I heard inventories are low this year because of low expectations. Just sayin'. -- nm - con_carne Nov 27, 16:43 1
- Oh it may be, but I hear this EVERY year. Every year it's run out now because it's all going to be gone before Christmas. - Redmond, Go Ducks!! Nov 27, 16:47
The real deals are at the end of January as many states have an inventory tax counted Feb 1st or 2nd -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 27, 16:34 1
- They have great deals the week after Christmas now, because people return stuff and they want to keep the money in their store. -- nm - Redmond, Go Ducks!! Nov 27, 16:35
They're trying to bring Black Friday up here, to which I say Ugh. -- nm - Reagen Nov 27, 16:33
