While the savings aren’t tremendous by any means, they are not bad considering Apple rarely discounts their Macs. If you’ve been waiting for a sale, this may be it until Boxing Day arrives.

Desperation may be settling in there. Now granted, the clerks don’t have that haggard “Oh god, I’m on commission’ look of their former Future Shop employees, but I was into the Best Buy attached to the Eaton Centre in Toronto at 11am today and stacks upon stacks of unsold ‘on sale’ products, but you could’a fired off a cannon and not hit a customer. Apple Flash Sale only really works if someone’s in the store and that’s the product they are looking for.

Not to mention standing around for 15 minutes waiting for someone who works there to pull your item from the cage or from behind glass. That annoys me the most. The guys in Surrey central are always in the car audio section about 7 of them all chatting away.

I normally get impatient and start pulling laptop security tags to make the alarms go off, suddenly someone comes to help.

Agreed – is BB hard hit or what – but their stores are so sparse on employees, even though there is virtually no customer in the horizon?

If you are considering an electronic type purchase you may want to make your purchase before January. Apparently, a lot of retails are suppressing price increases due to the low Canadian dollar, so as not to hurt their yearend numbers. Starting January things could be much different.

You think increasing prices for inventory after a heavy sales period – during the low end of the season (Jan, Feb) is not going to hurt them?

I don’t know, but can only assume that selling less is never a good thing.

Possibly, these price increases will be mitigated with a lack of sales and discounts. Time will tell.
