I get that, but sometimes wading through that hot deals forum is brutal. 90% of the deals are memory cards, and disposable electronics that heavily depreciate. Also since this board is pretty Calgarycentric, it may expose some local deals, that typically wouldn't make it to RFD since the deals posted on there tend to be nation-wide or online only.
I guess a good example would be, lets say a local bike shop was blowing out a particular bike. Typically RFD wouldn't be interested in that, because it would only be god for someone that lives here. Also, there are chains like Winners where every store has different inventory. I was in the Westhills one the other day, and they had some really nice Nixon watches for super cheap. One of my buddies is a Nixon addict, so I tipped him off and he picked up a couple he liked for half the price of anywhere else.
FYI, if you are ever in a Winners, always check the jewellery case. I have snagged some ridiculous deals on Citizen Eco-Drives there. Like cheaper than ordering them from the cheapest discount sites. Yesterday I found an Eco-drive Scuba fin on a metal bracelet at Heritage for $149. The cheapest anyone online has it is $245, and it retails at $425.
