Anyone Know When The SoundsAround Big Four Sale Will Be?

[forddude]

I guess the question is are they having it again this year. I went 2 years ago and was just baffled by the amazing low prices and would like to go back this year to purchase some subs and amps and speakers. I do believe it was at the big four building when I went. So if you have heard or known when it/if shes gonna happen, I'd appreciate any info I could get my hands on cause I don't want to miss it. Thanks.

Can't be the 11th. It's always on a Saturday.

[GQBalla]

are you sure it always on saturyda??/

my friends bought a lot of car audio one year and i remember it was after school that they went...

[adam c]

do they mail this out? i'll have to change my address then

[cmodem]

It's always a friday sat sun. Friday for vip ppl (pretty much anyone) and sat sun for normies.

It's sometime first or second week of september you will not miss the ads and stuff so don't worry.

Gone last 4 years. Always something worthy of buying even if its a 20 dollar cordless phone. hah

I talked to some guy at Soundsaround he said that their not suppose to tell anyone but it's starts on the 9th of Sept but it will be in stores this year.

[rc2002]

Yeah you can usually go to the stores before the event takes place and a lot of times they will give you the same prices as what they have advertised in the flyer.

Its always the 2nd weekend of september. I don't see how they are "not supposed to tell anyone" when its well known when it is.

[Palmiros]

Hm, so whats with this event? Are there actual savings on stuff?(their highly overpriced stuff) or is it a "sale" on products to finally come around to their normal price?:P

[Perrin7]

It isn't being held in the Big Four building this year - ONLY in stores.

[Seanith]

yes. good deals.

[shane_c]

I was there today and was basically told that the prices on the merchandise they currently have in store will not change. The only extra deals they have will be on a few items they bring in.

[Palmiros]

:dunno: ^^ Is this true?:(
I was interested in picking up several components, but I was interested in some of the products they have in stock right now.
From past experiences, was it *the discounts/deals* on all(or most of the products?) or just on some?
Can someone please say for sure when this event is taking place?

[shane_c]

This is what the guy working there told us. You might want to check with them to confirm though incase he didn't know what he was talking about. But I'm not going to bother going anymore.

[Supa Dexta]

Then hopefully visions goes all out...

[Jonathan@TCS]

I don't have all the answers, but from my experience, here is what I have found. For sales like this, they will talk to suppliers, and buy a large quantity of a certain item, that is usually an older, discontinued model. Because it is old, and the supplier wants to get rid of it, they will sell it at a lower price, and sometimes a lesser warranty. You CAN get a good deal, but not everything is a good deal. Just be aware of regular prices, and current model numbers. Everyone in the Audio industry gets offers from suppliers all the time, we just choose not to buy them all, becuase we don't want a bunch of old B-stock product, that is not up to current standards.

As for the date of the sale, Whenever it is, the week before the sale, THE CAR SALON will try to match any advertised prices.

[bbrannan]

the sale will be sept 8th (private sale) sept 9th (open to all)

[lauphman]

whats the deal with the private sale??
can normal people still go into the store and purchase something?

[WWJAI]

I've never been to the big 4 sale but was j/w if at the event you will be able to hear all the products (ex.speakers)? I'm lookin to get some new speakers but hesitant to buy without listening to them first.

[HuMz]

Well if it's not at the Big 4 building this year then there won't be a VIP day.

My buddy who work's it every year asked me to work this year at the big 4 about a month ago, so im not 100% if it's still on or not.

[2m0a0x2]

It's not in the round up. I just went and asked!

[IhateDomestic]

:eek:

[DGill]

i think its on the 8,9,10th i work at F.S and we price match the big four sale but im pretty sure its in the stores this year

[leec001]

[AzN'SKillZ]

[googe]

^dude maybe you should read the thread before asking exactly what everyone just answered

[AzN'SKillZ]

so far ppl said in store

but wich store and where is it located

[MPowered]

There was an ad in the Herald this morning saying it was only instore for 8 hours on Saturday.

[Crymson]

anyone have a vip pass that they're not going to use?

[clem24]

In the past, people on Usenet have been able to get ahold of the flyers a few days in advance and are nice enuf to scan them. Anyone here with this power? :thumbsup:

Not being in the Big4 seems to take away some of the charm of it, don't you think? Ah well.
