example: the day after thanksgiving sale, circuit city orders special digital cameras that they normally wont sell. but they get them in a week before the day after thanksgiving, too keep people from buying the products early and reducing stock, they up the price to some crazy number... so they dont run out when the actual sale date is....
never seen this before online though, compusa is just dumb.
