Black Friday 2006 - Apple (and others) After Thanksgiving Sale

[MacRumors]

In the U.S., the day after Thanksgiving is called "Black Friday", which is historically one of the busiest shopping days of the year.

Over the past few years, Apple has participated with one-day specials at both their retail Apple stores as well as the online Apple Store.

Apple has posted a teaser at their online store:Come back to the Apple Store the day after Thanksgiving for a special one-day-only holiday shopping event. You'll find dozens of great gift ideas all with free shipping.

Mark your calendars now. And until then, start your research by visiting our Holiday Gift Guide to find Mac and iPod gifts for everyone on your list.
Last year, Apple offered discounts on select Macs and accessories.

Flying on Thanksgiving? Are you insane?

 

[MattyMac]

Yeah this has been pretty much standard for apple over the past few years.

Grab Bags?

I sure hope they do grab bags this year. Those are always fun.

Nothing will be happening with the Canadian Apple Store, so I'm not too interested in this sale. Now if only Apple had a similar offer for Canadian Thanksgiving...

Why?

I hope they remember to add my state's (South Carolina) "no tax on anything" holiday.

South Carolina is having a 2nd "no tax weekend" that runs Friday and Saturday.

Why?

The cost of the plane ticket wouldn't offset the savings.

Think it was a joke. The humor was lost on you apparently.

Even though it was not the day after Thanksgiving, I thought the Apple Canada store did offer discounts last year on Black Friday.

Edit: Just checked the Apple Canada Store, they are planning to have discounts this Friday.

My flights and hotel are all booked and looking forward to getting there on the Friday morning.

Need anything while I am there, dcv?

I will be hitting the post office in a big way when I am there so one more package ain't gonna kill me.

Shopping the day after Thanksgiving. That's insane

 

[Mal]

You think shopping that day is bad, I have to work that day. 9 hour split shift (opening and closing).

So anyways, when do the Apple Store's sales go up online? Midnight? 6AM like the retailers?

[applekid]

Do they have any giveaways in brick and mortar stores?

I've been waiting to spend my $50 credit from the iPod battery settlement for this!

Sweet, thanks for the head's up! I retract my earlier statement.

Hard to believe that at this time last year they were selling G4 and G5 computers.

Really?? That's AWESOME. Gosh, I knew I moved to SC for a reason! hm.. what to buy to really take advantage of the holiday...

 

[SiliconAddict]

Meh. Blew my (cash) wad in February. No sale for joo. Now if they intro a real video iPod...lets talk.

 

[BornAgainMac]

The retail Mac stores are packed with no sales. They need more stores.

 

[bigkito]

u guys think the MacBook would be on Sale on black friday?

 

[puckhead193]

too bad they never put ipods on sale

 

[wildmac]

Why?

The worst day to fly in the US. More people travel by air for thanksgiving than any other holiday.
