Possible sale on Macs at CompUSA 12/4/2004?

According to an email I just got, CompUSA is having a cost + 7% sale on all computers (and other things) on Saturday, December 4, from 8AM-11AM (local time, apparently).

I have no idea if Macs are already sold at cost + 7% or not, but there's no disclaimer indicating that Apple's aren't on sale.

Whether or not this is valid or useful, I thought I'd share it and let everyone (in the States) make up their own minds as to whether or not to go....

I thought I saw or was told something about 7:30-9:00am that day so I held off on getting a new Mac just for this reason. Yes- my friend that works for Apple told me to wait(now I know why) and look at CompUsa on Macs. So I guess I can wait but I hope they giveMacs that same deal 😛 It will save me a good amount of money 😎
Thanks for the reminder and times to attend 🙂
 
What a joke

I showed up this morning at my local Comp USA at 7:00 am. I was the only customer there at the time. I showed up and found that the Adobe software was discounted at 10% off, the iPod accessories discounted at 15%, and some VERY MINOR deals on useless stuff.

What a waste of time. The way Comp USA was hyping this I thought it was going to be a good sale ... NOT

So how about the refreshments? If you were in need of iPod accessories the 15% is a good deal. Getting 10% off means that here in Massachusetts after Sales Tax you save 5%.

But still, someone who went looking for decent deals might not be too happy after saving $6 on a few iPod accessories... I'm going on Saturday to the Salem, NH store to see if maybe, just maybe, the iBooks/PBs are on sale. If not, I'll just shop up north for a while.
 
LOL

Apple computers at dealer cost plus 7% would mean they would be priced about 3% higher than Apple Store prices.... wattadeal!

Thanks

Yeah, I figured the margins were pretty slim... but, hell, I'll go anyway.

We had better hope that our Attorney General doesn't monitor these forums. 😀 He definitely is going after those that purchase cigarettes on the internet without paying taxes.
 
Thanks for the notice. I just happen to need a new yo-yo adapter for my iBook, so maybe I can get an extra 10% off. I was planning on going Saturday morning anyway. Cool beans! 🙂
 
I just spoke with the manager at my local CompUSA who was good enough to look up what the sale price will be on a 20" iMac G5 tomorrow morning. Don't hold your breath...

He told me thatCompUSA will sell the 20 for $1888 in their "Cost + 7%" sale. A whopping $11 savings...hardly worth being up at 8am. 😕

Looks like I'll continue to look forward to the January Expo!

My first post! I hope it's useful!

Good to know! I figured it'd be small savings, but $11 is less than I figured. In essence, the Black Friday sale was the one.

But, of course, that implies you might save up to $20 on a new dual-2.5! 🙄

But maybe margins are different on different lines, so I might go anyway just to see. I mean, if there's a 0.5% savings on the iMac, who knows if the PB savings are better? My savings might even cover the cost of gas!
 
E-mail only

Yeah, just got back from Compusa about an hour ago and at the buffalo store the only way they will honor that sale is if you got an e-mail from them and bring in the print out of it. 😡
Looks like i'm off to the Apple store in the am to get my iBook there 😀
 
During Thanksgiving, CompUSA had 10% off all computers $400+ on their website (maybe in store, too, but I didn’t go there). The discount included Apple -- I was pretty surprised. Hopefully they’ll do the same discount again soon. 🙂
 
Anybody have any idea how much the Canon SD200 camera would be with this sale? It is normally 300, and the nearest compusa is over an hour and a half away so I don't want to drive that far to get it if it's going to be over 250.
