looking for Black Friday/cyber monday deals

[Fredhizzle]

I'm saving up money for deals during thanksgiving month and I want to know what stores (online and offline) are HOT! for "Black Friday" and cyber Monday.
I'm specifically looking for a pair of subs for no more than $500 but I'll probably buy a new PC or something, so for you experienced shoppers tell me what stores are hot for the upcoming anticipated deal days of thanks giving weekend. By the way does Vanns participate in the cyber Monday if so how were there deals and did you online shoppers see allot of "sale outs", Do online stores merchandise sale out quick, because if they do I will probably have to make quick decisions and I'll have to rush through websites and making payments,and looking for specific items and etc. and I don't know if I'm willing do bust my chops for a pair of subs? depends on the deals I guess...But I want feedback! tell me how lasts years shopping went and give me a list of on line stores where they sell audio,please!

I am intrested in the sites also... I always stand inline at Best Buy over night for black friday. They usualy have some good deals on laptops. last year they had some going for like 200$ but the better ones that retailed at 700-800$ went form maybe 350-400$.

haha wow im suprised he doesnt run off with your money...fry's? they dont carry a good variety of subwoofers and they carry the weak polk subwoofer which I wont touch no matter how cheap they are on sale. So Frys has a sale during thanks giving weekend? what about this store I just checked out called www.Hotcoolelectronics.com they carry the sub that I want to buy which is the Velodyne VRP 1200 its already a cheap $166 But Im waiting to know if the store is going to have an online sale during thanks giving weekend so I can buy the sub for dirt cheap. Who knows circuit city sold those out online awhile back ago online for about 80 i believe if it goes down to 80 ill buy like 4 but if they do have a sale Ill probably buy another sub instead of the vrp if prices are very good.

Yeah, thats what I was thinking when I first saw there website,prices sound to good to be true like the the velodyne mini vee is around 300! new and other speakers were way cheap too. I first thought this website was a scam, but they their "Merchant Certified" I dont know but it still sounds like a scam to me. You guys should check it out, and see what you think.

This is a bit suspicious:

For the moment we only accept Western Union Money Transfer Service® (Money in Minutes). We had fraud problems in credit cards processing and we have lost more than US $25,000.00 in shipping items ordered with stolen credit cards and after delivery we had to return the funds to their honest possessors. That's why we no longer accept credit cards for orders. The only solution for the moment is to receive the deposits through Western Union. You can still use your credit card for Western Union online payments HERE.
We are sorry for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding in this matter.

They claim to be authorized Panasonic dealers but when I went to Panasonic directly none of the tvs Hot Cool Electronics are currently being sold by any Panasonic Authorized dealers.

Scam it is.

Yeah...you know that good-O sayin "if something is too good to be true then its probably a scam" It's true. dang I had my hopes of buying 2 velodynes for under 300 so bad,now its ruined. Well im going to go to these website were they post a list of scam stores to see if hotcoolelectronics verifies as a hoax. I just want to be certain because I dont want to believe it

 

[Fredhizzle]

I was web surfing trying to figure out if its is a scam and i found this thread in a forum about phoney websites. Heres the link :http://www.resellerratings.com/forum/merchant-discussion-shopping-advice/136385-store-without-history-www-hotcoolelectronics-com.html

Okay, I know that website is a scam, can someone give me some good online stores that are not scams?

Huh? Are you talking about the Sears ad? I see two Plasmas; a 720p Panny and a Sammy.

meant flat screens.

I'm in the market for a large DLP.

 

[thisonekidmongo]

Is it me or are the TV prices (unsure of exact models as of yet, of course) not much better than sale prices regularly found online?

 

[ChunkyDark]

It seemed when I was shopping about a year ago that online prices weren't much better after shipping was factored in. Online was slighty cheaper, but I figured if something went wrong service would be easier locally.
Of course maybe I'm just doing it wrong
