GPUs are bad, CPUs are getting better, but the rest (except for RAM during mid-2020) are in plenty supply... I'm also looking for a SSD and there's quite a few options going on special (well below MSRP) these days. I'm waiting for Black Friday to pull the trigger, but maybe I shouldn't if things continue going this route.
FWIW, I just extended the lease on my Leaf for the 2nd 6-month term because there is simply no new Leaf in stock anywhere within 100 miles of Seattle; at this rate, I might as well buy it out (even though when I got, I negotiated for a great monthly rate and didn't care about the residual).
- sbierwagen 5y agoWith current market conditions, why would a retailer have a Black Friday event? Print advertising flyers that say "come look at our empty shelves"?
- eru 5y agoIt's customary to have those events. You'd have to look at the actual discounts they give: if they are small enough, they might just be equivalent to those flyers you mentioned. (Though in a well functioning market, we shouldn't see empty shelves. We should just see higher prices. And if you raise prices enough, you can just drop them a bit for a promotion.)
