Nothing came up on a search. If this has already been posted; MODs feel free to delete. Edit: or move to the Boxing Day forum.

Great deals, too bad about the very limited quantities. I wish I had waited, I bought the Airport Extreme at $119. Oh well.

What do you guys think about the Westinghouse LCD TV? Worth it?

EDIT: How do these guys do it? On their website, the 8GB ipod touch is $289.99, Apple has it at $329.99 ($40 less). The 16GB is $379.99, Apple has it at $449.99 ($70 less). Even crazier I think this is their regular price.

If anyone finds good deals post it below and I will update this post.

I'd pickup the TV if I was still in Ontario. :(

If you look at the ad it says how many of each item will be available online and in store.

Number of items is very limited for both, but awesome deals if you can get them, online will sell out fast.

Definite hot deals all around for the items listed. Makes sense of the limited quantities for sure.. its gonna be chaotic that day there for sure.

The Shure headphones are a pretty hot price.. its a shame we cannot PM BB that day or we'd get a killing price on it hehe. Harmony Remote 1000 looks awesome too but i'm wondering how useful it really is for me except how cool it looks :lol:

Really good deals but alot are instore only and also very limited. The only way your getting these deals is if you choose here as your first place to go instead of FS/BB/elsewhere.

That harmony remote is a really good deal bu to expensive(and overkill) for me. I want that dell deal:D

EDIT: but then again they start at 10AM, but you would probably need to reach like 2 hours before to guarantee what you want.

seems like they have some decent deals. However I would not waste my time lineing up for this store because im sure alot of their "deals" are refurbished merchandise, in which case they are not deals at all.

And the maxtor drive is a bad deal even if its brand new. Thats an old drive. probably 8mb cache only. Some1 else will have a better deal for sure.

Well, considering the prices they are selling them at, its either refurbed items or those are their loss-leaders for boxing day to attract people to their stores or part of a promo for attention. I hope they are not refurbs... is there any way to really tell though if they do not disclose it upfront?

bad choice. Bad tv to begin with and it being refurbished is even worse. If you want the tv for like infront of a treadmill, or some place that would only get like 2-3 hours of use a week, then go for the buy. But to use as a primary display for your computer and ps3 is no good. Go for something better.

Dec 22nd, 2007, 12:10 PM
If the TV is a refurb, I think it's better to go with the Best Buy $499 deal. I would never trust a 90 day warranty on an LCD, so you pretty much need to pick up the extra 1 year for $50 from these guys. Might as well add another $50 and have a brand new TV.

The Creative Zen V Plus 4 GB for $66 must be a good deal

this would be brand new right?

Yes, but it is 25% more ($500 vs $400). Enough to take the gamble if you are a risk taker.

yeah, the apple warranty doesn't have me worried at all. I think I'm just astonished by the deal, even the wireless keyboard at 40 bucks. Perfect for the mini-as-video-server project I'm planning!

Ordered online for Apple Airport Base for $99 + shipping 11.50 + gst which added to under $119. Just hope that it will shipped as new. For this price, it is unbeatable even if I pm at reg $119 with FS ie $112 + 2 taxes.

Have you tested this TV before to say it sucks ? not instores... and what are you comparing it to ?

I have that exact TV from when BB had it on sale a year or two ago for $589.99 from $900 (I cant remember exactly the non sale price is but its atleast that price) and I can say its a good TV if thats your budget (better then ALL the other brand in the price range). I just bought a LG 32" LCD TV yesterday at FS and I can say the Westinghouse is alittle clearer but the LG has alittle better color and brightness. At that price I wouldve bought 2 TV if they were brand new (if I knew about this earlier which by now is probably sold out)

I was there on boxing day and wow they had some serious work flow problems. I was there at 9:30 and got out of there around 1:00. I was the 68th person to finish my order. That's some pretty slow service :S

Anyways got a pretty good deal, Apple wireless router, 2x Apple Wireless keyboard and the 500gb USB2.0 External for $89.99 (they screwed up and charged me less).

On the Can Post site it says "Shipping details electronically submitted" on Dec 27, and expected delivery was Dec 28. It has not been updated since then.

I had also ordered something from FS on Dec 25, and expected delivery was Dec 28 and it did come that day. But on the Can Post website, it still says "out for delivery". Damn lazy postal workers are wayyyy behind.

Obligatory Sig-E reminder: "FYI: Business spamming the boards (Sig Electronics complaint)" (http://www.redflagdeals.com/forums/showthread.php?t=509574&highlight=sig+electronics).
