A couple posts mentioned a chain store would have iPads on Black Friday for $199.We called & was told that out of 8-10 stores in the city, only one would have it & they'd have ONE.
I'm too old to bother with Black Friday, but looks like a lot of ppl will be in for a shock after standing in line...rain/snow for hrs.I won't mention the shop name...why give them free publicity?

But because it is not a 'doorbuster' item, it can be special ordered -- but doubtful it would arrive by Christmas.
What poor business practices...I have run into this so many times with them. I just will not shop there anymore. (I quit buying fabric there several years ago) Would rather spend
more $$ and get excellent customer service.

"Made especially for Joann's" so unfortunately it went into my quilt back. The fabric was only 39" wide after washing and removing that white white selvedge.

there is nothing worth the time involved, fighting the crowds for a price that there isn't going to be enough to go around. I've gotta get tires on friday - I hope the place isn't full of husbands whose wives are our shopping

It has been talked aobut on most major tv new stations, but as long as we the consumers keep groveling to the super sales they will keep doing it.

That is a good price, just make sure of the quality. It might be the really lightweight kind that won't hold up.
