DJJasonp · 12-01-2009, 04:41 PM

no kidding....black friday....Fry's had a 52" samsung LCD 120hz 4ms 80,000 to 1 ratio....

Probably. I used to run Dillards electronics department. We would always have a dozen of door busters like this. We would sell them all out on the phone, 15 minutes after we opened.
Panasonic 6 hour VHS $699!!!

Yeah, none available in SoCal.

The people I spoke to at Fry's said they had never seen this deal.

Fishy.

Thanks for the link, anyway!

What a great deal that would have been!

that would be way too good to be true...

I bought a 42" Viera 720P for $499 and was THRILLED.

This. Frys has done this with about a dozen TV's and none of them were in stock. At all. I've been trying to snag one of these for a week now, but they're always sold out and not available. Frys sucks.

Good lord, you could probably buy a Ford Pinto for that kind of dough in 1980.

I think they were around $3,000, not sure though as they were nowhere in my sights.

But the hot price point for a 19 inch color TV was $399.

No ****ing way.

I have one on my way home from work.

I already own a 42" HDTV, but how could I pass?
