Talking My Black Friday Deal (51H84)!!!

So I went to Sears this morning (6:00... better odds right???) to pick up the Toshiba 46H84 for $999. Turns out that they don't actually stock the item, but they can order it. Same with the bigger store in a nearby town. I figured that I could order it at that price tomorrow, so I would make some phone calls to try to drum up a price match that I could get today.

Call to Best Buy resulted in a price match, but no delivery until mid next week. Better, but not exactly perfect. Calls to other stores did about the same (if they carried it).

Then I called ABC Warehouse. The guy I talked to said that he had to look into availability of the 46H84, but affirmed that they did carry Toshiba. He took my number, but I really didn't expect a call back.

Half hour later, he calls back saying that he can special order that unit at that price, BUT he can do me one better. He offered a 51H84 for $1099 I figure that the additional height of this unit is worth the extra $100 (figure $200 for a stand right?)

So that's my deal of the century. It will be delivered tomorrow to a newbie with a smile you can't knock off with a 2x4.

Another newbie with a smile

Don't you just love Black Friday?! There must be quite a markup on these sets. Absolutely don't want to jinx myself, since delivery isn't until Wednesday, but I just got what I think was an amazing price match from Best Buy. This will be my first large screen purchase, coming from a very sad 27" box. I'm getting a Toshiba 57H94 with 2 years free financing for $1485! They're even throwing in store coupons for free merchandise by way of the Reward Zone program. Not posting this to one up anyone, but to let everyone know, don't settle for list price. Anyway, it seems like there is a lot involved with setups and cabling etc... so I'm sure I'll be here with questions later this week. Hopefully all will go well with these early Christmas presents!
