I need to buy a digital camera and other accessories for my trip to Rome next year, and on amazon.com I found some great deals, but I am just wondering should I wait till Black Friday to see if the stores have even better deals. I never paid much attention to the black friday sales so I don't really know just what to expect. Are the sales really big? Should I wait till Black Friday? Black Friday , yes has great deals, but I have found better deals the day after Christmas, or a few weeks following.
Keep your eye on the cameras you like and maybe even try and get it on ebay , half-ebay or ebay express.
Check everyother day and most stores will match prices for comparable items --
Example: I thought I did good getting a sandisk sansa connect for 150 and on ebay express i purchased another for 118 - which is still good because they are usually 250.00 for 1
Then the day after I bought the sansa on ebay, on Sandisk it is now 149.99. saving 100.00 - so I feel pretty good and in 6mo i could probably get it for 1/2 price again-lol
I belong to a group called Refund Cents and you may want to look at some of the message boards and watch for Rebates and early sales -
She is very knowledgeable and I have save alot of $ because of her.

She recommends some other boards too and about a week before black friday post the blackfriday board in her newsletter-- That is how I got in on the deals for last year.
I have listed a few sites I watch - around that time:
