    I dont know what your going to think of this post but here goes, up here in Canada the major and smaller electronic stores jacked their prices up on many things 10-20%+, it looks like a setup for after christmas sales where these stores are going to claim after christmas blowouts and the prices are going to be dropped to normal and they claim it as give away prices, but I must say people are still buying and its a free market, bad time to buy stuff right now, how about you guys in the U.S have you noticed anything like this down there.

    that is actually illegal. I remember a while back sports check did that. They raised the price of a bike and then put it on like a blowout sale. They got busted and got in trouble for it.
