Briscoes will have a sale. Don’t ask me how I know. If I told you my source, I’d have to kill you afterwards.

The trouble with these threads.   Is that we’re so over saturated with “sales”. That nothing is actually a sale any more.   And briscoes is a perfect example of this.

Will it be their biggest sale of the year though?

I would query that with HN and see if they matched their own price from Black Friday.

Briscoes changed their strategy a few years ago and cut down on the number excuses they would have for a sale, so when they did have a sale it would be more meaningful.   

 

Gone is the "Its the third tuesday of the month super sale" and now I understand have less than 30 sales a month.

Some Retailers are using the term Boxing Day "Deals" as the prices are slightly more expensive than their previous Black Friday "Sales".  The com com is watching I guess.

If people are not rushing to form a sweaty scrum fighting to crawl over each other to get the hot item.
To then put on trademe.

 

Its not really a special unless you can put it on trademe for a profit.

 

Is the one day sale make sense with so many ordering online for delivery ? 

 

I wonder what delivery delay is like, courier drivers don't go on holidays ?
