One of the hotel chains around here plans to replace all its CRTs with LCDs, but can’t get all a similar size in quantity, or so I’ve heard. Probably due to Christmas ordering by retailers.
More Black Friday Predictions!
By Swanni
Washington, D.C. (September 15, 2011) — Earlier this week, I made six predictions on what prices you can expect on HDTVs and related products during the 2011 Black Friday shopping rush.
However, there are other sites that follow the shopping phenomenon closely and they have also made some predictions for the big event which takes place November 25, the day after Thanksgiving.
But before I tell you about them, a little background: Retailers traditionally offer deep discounts on the day after Thanksgiving, better known as Black Friday, the unofficial start of the holiday shopping season.
The discount prices are often available for one day only — and may include restrictions on time and supply. Discount hunters also have to contend with the frenzied atmosphere of Black Friday which some shoppers view as a day of combat.
So here is what some Black Friday-oriented sites are predicting for the 2011 Black Friday rush:

“Amazon is giving shoppers a headstart on Black Friday shopping. The Amazon Black Friday sale starts on Monday, November 21st, 2011. While Amazon hasn’t released info on which Black Friday deals they’ll be offering, we know from previous years that Amazon doesn’t disappoint. They offer great Black Friday deals and match Walmart’s low prices on lots of items. We especially liked their Gold Box sales in 2010, with new deals every day on items such as GPS, digital cameras and toys.”
