I was going to buy them from BestBuy, as they included a free wall mount, installation and set up, but that is excluded on today's sale. They also were going to charge me $50 for shipping and there wasn't a local pickup option.
Interesting..... we bought the C7 which only has a different shell. Maybe upgraded speakers but we don't use them. It looks like our deals were about the same but we had to work for it.

Yeah that's what I was thinking too -- by the time PS5 rolls around it will run everything (including Blurays) in native 4K, there will probably be prevalent 4K cable TV stations, and nice big 4K TV's will be readily available for well under $1K. And at least 1 of my kids will be in school. That will be the time to upgrade for this guy.

Yeah the C7 has a different bezel. Not speakers though, that’s the E7.

If people with TVs are looking for a token 4K blu Ray player, they’re basically going to fire sale those Xbox one s’s (####ing stupid naming, do I even use a “‘s”?)

Anyhow Shoppers is giving you a $100 gift card right now. If you have 95,000 of their points to redeem for $170 you’ll get it for like $60 all in after tax. They might even let you use the gift card on the same transaction and save you even more in tax.

Propbably going to see a ton of them on kijiji.

-The TV we looked at, at 65" OLED, had retailed for 7K in the summer, last month was listed for 5999, and had a sale price of 3999
-Wife said she'd like to see if she could get a better deal. Fine. I thought the price was the price
-End result: 3200, and a 200 gift card given, for a net price of 3000.

That same TV is now on sale for 3999 again at Best Buy, I'd suggest the money is worth it if you get it for 3K.

To my surprise, you can still negotiate off the sale price even at Best Buy.
How does negotiating work @ Best Buy? I've never heard of doing that.

Yeah, looks like Best Buy is selling it for 230 outright. Probably the new price everywhere.

Nintendo Switch, not a huge deal but apparently you can try to get an extra 10% on top of $15 off.

Switch @ Dell.ca

"$15OFF$199+"

Sign up here for another Dell discount? https://www.myunidays.com/CA/en-CA

Oh and try to add ebates if you have an account there for rebate (8%?)

Hoping for a good deal on a Canon 80D body. Sold my 60D a few weeks ago so right now only have lenses. See that BB will have 80D + kit lens for $1350. I believe it was that low a few months ago when on sale. Right now the body only is on sale for $1399 so hopefully it comes down a bit more.

Best buy flyer. Other than a couple of TVs, including the c7 OLED, I don't see much.

Is it unreasonable to expect a sale on the new 4k Apple TV?

Maybe $5 off. Apple isn’t big on sales.

Indochino is advertising a suit sale (Chinook). Do they make good suits?

With 8% ebates and the 10%monitoroff coupon is a pretty good deal.

If you're looking to upgrade, this is the lowest I've seen this 10 bit panel monitor:
