-> Scam alert.
-> Those with vast retail sales experience should be forewarned
-> of a sales scam.
-> Best Buy recently offered a deal of 19.95 for a 
-> Sandisk 1GB flash disk.
-> 
-> Sold out on web page.
-> Sold out at local dealership.
-> 
-> This item in my opinion was offered as a limited loss leader
-> to get you into the store in a bait and switchh scheme
-> to get your money as they rely on stupid people being determined to
-> spend their money.

On "Black Friday," (the day after Thanksgiving,) Best Buy was offering a
$250 Toshiba laptop, from what I read and saw on G4 Tech TV.

BUT...

Only a few per store, and while I do like a bargain, I wouldn't want to get
trampled for a laptop with no warranty and I wouldn't trust one at that
price anyway from a store.
