What are YOU eyeing on Boxing day?

[Neil4Speed]

Hey Guys,

Its that time of year again, Christmas, which inevitably means boxing day. What are you guys looking out for?

I am looking out for maybe

An HDTV
That Shaw PVR
Wireless Keyboard Mouse
A PC Case
A Video Card

Go nuts!

[Singel]

I don't think Boxing Day is really a big deal up here in Canada as much as it would seem from the states. Last time I went, I didn't see any discounts at all on any electronics or anything, the only thing you'll really save on is Wrapping paper and cards...but I'm sure there are exceptions

[nismodrifter]

hopin for some cheap parts at Concept 1 :D
datz about it...maybe some clothes??
Most of the stuff isn't crazy good deal anyways, if you keep an ee on sales durign the year you can usually pick up the same stuff for that price anyways..but SOMETIMES you catch a good deal which is always good.

You'd be surprised. Some places in the US don't even know what the fuck Boxing Day is. But a lot of the states have a day after thanksgiving sale which is equivalent to our boxing day (only a month earlier).

Lately Boxing Day sales haven't been what they're hyped up to be. Many places don't seem to sell anything much cheaper than the rest of the year anymore.

Boxing day for clothes isn't that hot...except one store. My day will start and end at Holt.

[max_boost]

I'm not sure! I hate Boxing Day. Parking and the crowds make me get angry!!

Although if I was to go out, I'd hit Holt for Burberry Earmuffs!

[blinkme_210]

Probably look for a motorized in dash DVD or something for my car. Nothing else really. I find that BestBuy/Futureshop are the only places that actually have good deals come Boxing Day, some maybe even worth waiting for.

As for the girlfriend, she wants to go clothes shopping :rollseyes:. And when it comes to clothes, it's all the stuff that the store couldn't sell during the year that they try to unload for cheap.

[Team_Mclaren]

clothes... thats all.. why dont performance shops have huge savings on boxing day.... ie: 50% off anything kidna thing...:D

[Skylinelover]

Maybe get an ipod. I really want a psp though.

[Neil4Speed]

Yeah Clothing stores generally are pretty lame when it comes to boxing day.

AB sound, Visions, Best Buy, FS go crazy.

Great thing about BB/FS is that they have it online which makes stuff allot easier.

so true, you don't see any clothing stores going over 50% these days. you'd be lucky to find 30%.

i'm expecting urben men to have good deals

i mean they already have pretty good deals on normal days

[Neil4Speed]

T-im I can't believe that holt is 50% on boxing day I don't think their markups are that high.. fuck too bad I have to work if I get my job at FS.

Black friday, you got that right!! It's 10x better than our boxing day.

[crazyning]

Is everything at Holt Renfrew 50% off on boxing day?
Most of the stuff is pretty nice, and at 50% off, definitely worth checking out.

[t-im]

^ no

but alot of stuff is on sale

On boxing day, I pick up the stuff I was unsure about buying over the last few months

it's a pretty good sale if their is stuff you've wanted for awhile

[statick]

a nice white gold ring and/or bracelet.

and any dvds/cds i mite want.

I'm eyeing a parking spot at Chinook cause I work EVERY Boxing Day.

Ah well there isn't anything I really want or need right now so it's all good.

Lyndsi

I have 2 guesses to what you want!!!!!!~!~!~!

both of my guesses - counters are right across from each other

[Bonka]

Boxing Day sucks ass.

I'd rather pay full price than get stampeded over by people trying to get that 13" Magnavox.

I'm going to see if I can pick up some stuff online :D

[Shaolin]

probably a new HD or a new vid card.. don't really have much I want this year.. I already got my first christmas present... will get the rest on the 24th.

[CKY]

nothing thats in my sight currently right now, proberly just gonna go out with my family in the morning and then with a few buddies in the evening and pick up w/e comes across.

the best time to buy cloths is actually a week or so after boxing day/ new years IMO

[Kamen]

I just walk around Robson and Pacific Center for boxing day and then check out Metrotown for the rest of boxing week...nothing big really usually just some clothes...last year I got a digicam though :D

[cityhunter2501]

i would flip if the canon eos 300D will be 50% off

Yah it is insane. People will line up for hours waiting for stores to open, and when they do it's literally a stampede. If you fall, your gonna get hurt.

It's not so much getting into the store that's insane. It's when everyone that picks up what they want, and rushes to the cash register to pay so they can leave.

I think so. I believe its a Common wealth holiday.

[Altezza]

Nothing... If I wanted something that bad, I would have had it by now. I've come home empty-handed from Boxing day sales 3 years in a row now. :zzz:

How much so you sales guys typically rake in over Christmas and boxing day? $$$$$$$$$$

my car audio days @ FS...boxing day would pull in between 700-1300 in my various years there...and Decembers cheques would be around the 4,500 - 6 grand mark...this is my first year at Sony...so I will have to see what it offers me...

he works in Home Theatre Calvin, BUT...when I worked at F.S. I could sell from any Dept., and they do sell appliances there...won't hurt to ask right??

[Superesc]

true hehe Fridge is very important to Home Entertainments!! Beers gotta be kept cold during hockey games !! :D

[GTS Jeff]

im not holding my breath for good sales on boxing day. ill be working and laughing as sales increase by 20 times even tho most things are regular price.

our company, like all the other companies out there, is unloading our excess stock of low-end models on b-day. it seems like there are good deals everywhere, but u get what u pay for. in any case, the entire store will have a few good deals, with everything else at regular price. but that doesnt stop ppl from going nuts anyway.

ive witnessed 2 boxing days (1 at future shop, 1 at best buy) and at 6am there is seriously a stampede of ppl RUNNING thru the store to get their shit. last year there were ppl camped out in the parking lot, opening presents and stuff with the kids too...

[kenny]

I don't understand why people don't see that "boxing day" prices are really around all year. If you look at the prices TVs are selling for right now, they wont go any lower on boxing day--it might be cheaper when its on clearance and a sales manager wants that stuff out of there fast tho.

Best time to shop in terms of electronics is beginning of December because:

1. Things are in stock
2. Managers will do anything to close business cuz its slower
3. Sales people will spend more time with you

On another note:

superesc, I'll get you a good price on a fridge right now, no need to wait until Boxing Day :D

At FS, I''m zoned in HT, appliances, mobile, and car audio. Mind you, I'm at the smallest location in town.

[sputnik]

I am looking to sleep in on Boxing Day. All of the "sale prices" will still be available long after anyways.

[Superesc]

Sweet will Ask Kenny about some models hehehe

I will be hunting for a 42" flat.

What about the 61" you had HL2 running on :dunno:

[DarkDream]

Not everything is cheap on boxing day..... Most stores just put one or two things really cheap just to bring people in the store.... And when those items are sold out people will just buy something because they didn't want to wait for 5 hours and end up buying nothing...

Last boxing day was pretty good i got a digicam for 5 bucks
but this year i am looking for any deals on laptops....
