FYI - While this info may not always apply or even come close to what you may 
consider a good deal, it just may for others.
It has been my experience once the holidays are over, just about everything 
becomes offered at reduced saving, whether it be clothing, cookware or 
electronics. At the same time, holiday gift returns either damaged or 
unwanted become a source for possible consideration for purchase. What is 
offered as "reconditioned, factory refurbished, or as is", becomes a value 
provided the buyer is aware of the condition. The only real problem with 
waiting for these deals is that they maybe only few in offering, reduced 
warranty or simply too far gone for use. However, it truly worth at least a 
"look over" if available for purchase. Some stores readily dump these returns 
for sale in promient display to quickly be rid of them or at least if a 
chain, in one central warehouse/store or call the vendor to find out details. 
Try it, it maybe worth your while. -_-_-Bill
