What does this have to do with the Wii?

[ihk]

What does this have to do with the Wii?the sales has nothing to w/ wii. it's superstore's no gst/pst tax event. i'm guessing double gst discount for alberta as always. op's from winnipeg. wonder if east has the same discount on these days.

I think the Wii would most like be sold out before it reaches 5PM

[WeeB]

finger crossed that this is valid in ontario as well.
Im with sushi wana get a metal gear solid ps3 bundle.

Killer deal on the wii though.

I am not sure the return policy at superstore. Maybe you can buy first and come back at that time, return and repurchase! for the tax free event, I guess it work for electronic department!

[SuSHi]

does anyone know why it's only no tax at night? and not the whole day

[guardianflash]

anybody know will Vancouver's Superstores have this??????????????????????

[majikstic]

They've thought of this already. There's a 24 hr hold on returned merchandise. On top of that, there are no returns during the No Tax event hours.

do they charge restocking fee! if they do not, do not keep the box when you return. No one want to keep the open box stuff, give them little pressure.

this way will dishonestly!

[balcoboyz]

does anyone know if this no tax event will be in ontario???

[rems]

So how does this work? Can you go there when it opens and just hold onto whatever item you want to buy and just check out at 5?

[Keiki]

I just went to the superstore website and looked at both the west and east flyers... doesn't say anything about no tax event

OP do you have the source or a scan of the flyer would be nice, since it would be great to know if this is a West only deal or if the Easterners can get in on some action too.

lol... your time must not be worth much...haha

on the other hand... I suppose you could pay a homeless person to do it.

Gotta love the schemes that rfd'ers come up with sometimes.

Well I was just wondering how early you'd have to show up...but yeah I'm not that crazy to save 13% :lol: Though if you're allowed to buy several and make a profit...

[milhouse6]

While getting there at opening is indeed crazy, *lots* of people go a little early in our city. People roaming around with BBQs and carts full of Joe clothes just before the sale starts. Especially for the no tax events that start at 9PM. The place gets momentariy jammed. At our store they sound a bell and make an announcement and there's a bit of a dash for the checkout lines.

Funnily enough, though, there are still people checking out 3 mins before the sale starts.

When we had some large purchases to make we went 1/2 hour early which was about as much as I would willingly tolerate. It got a little tedious as it jammed up closer to the hour.

i highly doubt they would let someone purchase more then one of the limited quantity items (ps3/wii)

[balcoboyz]

awh, the flyer says valid in bc, sask, ykon , man, and nwt. NO Ontario!!!

[xeL|]

wow.. pretty cheap for a wii!

[ahcash]

If I bought a Wii from Toys R Us 2 weeks ago, can I bring it back to them and ask for a price protection because I can get it cheaper now? Well, at least 12% cheaper.. :cheesygri :cheesygri

[Ninjai]

depends on toys r us price protection policy I guess?

[JumpinBug]

I think the Wii would most like be sold out before it reaches 5PM

I was in my local store yesterday and the day before, and they had a bunch on the shelves each day.

Great deal, and I think it could be done for a lot of people.

[Keiki]

Ahh, thanks OP for scanning the flyer..

I see this is a west only thing, I guess the eastern market is good enough so that they don't need to do it for us which is dumb because if they would do it, it would definitely clear lots of stock

actually they rotate, we'll get our turn

welcome to rfd :lol:

[bellboy26]

Why would someone buy it full price before 5pm? Not like they are hard to find anymore.

[ebee]

thanks for the heads up!

maybe in nova scotia...but in Toronto they are still pretty commonly sold out

not sure for that, so I guess star at June 12 :)

[Ninjai]

does anyone know if we can use the employee discount 10% off with the tax free event?

[Wei_Li]

Very doubtful but YMMV...

I think it was three weeks ago they took away employee discounts on electronics and dairy products.

aww shucks :mad:

agree, same thing at sears. not sure for the bay and walmart!

maybe this depends on the store/location/prov., but Wiis can still be hard to find.

i'm sure i'm not the only one in this situation, but i still go to FS/BB/BBV/EBG/RCSS/Zellers/etc. and there are still signs saying they are "Sorry, we're currently OOS on Wiis"

Superstore usually gets their items a little later than other stores.

[Jon Lai]

So is this confirmed to be WEST+Thunder Bay only?

[WeeB]

I think so far.
I still have my fingers crossed for the GTA.

[kmchow]

So how does this work? Can you go there when it opens and just hold onto whatever item you want to buy and just check out at 5?
Yep, that's what happens, I was told people were there approx 45min to 1hr ahead of the no tax event. I guess they decided on some sort of queue/line b/c I doubt they would let you walk off with a Wii without paying for it first. They had about 12 Wiis at the Richmond, BC location.

The GST/PST savings are worth approx $29. That's after tax making it probably $35-40 before income taxes. So if you make less than $35/hr, it's worth your effort to wait for the Wii. I guess if you have a family,they can shop while you wait for the Wii. And I guess for some, you got the bragging right to say you managed to buy it for tax free! :D

[WeeB]

So I guess this is confirmed to only be in the west??

I don't get why superstore has these great sales in the west but nothing at all in the east.

[chadw01]

Because people in the West get screwed with the Dell Days deals for being 1-3 hours behind EST :)

(Although with the recent offerings from Dell so far, it's negligible!)

You beat me to post that. I took advantage of last tax free event and bought my patio furniture back in April at Grimsby Superstore. We get just as many tax free events as the West.

[Daemar]

Pretty nice deal on the Wii Console, but they aren't hard to find anymore. Everytime I go to Walmart, there's at least a couple on the shelf.

Ther PS3 was $379 in the east but conveniently it went back to regular price ($399) the day of the tax free sale :twisted:

[jed]

Wiis are still tough to come by out West (AB) as our "local" RCSS had their shipment in this past weekend, and sold out on Sat. Way before the tax event sale....

anybody know yet if the PS3 MGS4 bundle will be in stock?
