Should you buy today or wait for Black Friday Ads?

Nov 6 2010, 4:41pm CDT | by Luigi Lugmayr

We are in the middle of early Black Friday sales. Walmart, Best Buy and Amazon have the strongest line-up of electronics deals today. You can find Laptops for $288 and lower, 32-inch TVs for $259 and more.

The big question on the mind of shoppers is if these deals get still better on Black Friday (Nov. 26). The answer is not a simple yes or no. Some of the deals you see today like the $198 26-inch Vizio HDTV are likely not to appear again or not be offered at a lower price. Of course you never can be sure, but there are other deals like the free $50 gift card with a Sony PS3 Move bundle that are more likely to be beaten on Black Friday.
The Best Buy and Walmart Laptop deals are quite good, but last year Walmart offered a $198 Laptop on Black Friday. There is a chance this is also happening this year. The $198 Laptop deal had lower specifications than deals before.

If you buy today depends first and foremost on what you need. In the case of the bargain laptop deals, if you just want a laptop at the lowest price possible then wait. If you want a laptop at low price, but with sufficient specifications then buy today. Besides the prices you also need to take into account the availability. The mentioned Vizio TV sold out yesterday in the Amazon Black Friday countdown sale in under a minute. My recommendation is to try to get a hot deals like that as soon as they appear. If you fail getting your hands on a deal, you still have more chances when you start early on. Getting deals will not get easier as more shoppers tune into the Black Friday sales.
