Its just a marketing ploy by the retailers to get people in the stores. which I think ends up backfiring half the time. Personally i try to do my shopping in the middle of the week when the stores are generally empty. I have no tolerence for crowds anymore. I never wait for sales either . If i want something i buy it when I find it.

Same here... if anything, I avoid going to the stores when there's one of these sales going on. I accidently ended up at one on Friday, and it was a monkey zoo. I was there to buy a bathroom fan and some hardware. I ended up leaving without making my full-price purchase, because the place was so packed and the lines were so long.
Lots of folks but large quantities and resell them at flea markets... I saw people leaving with 6 tap & die sets, tool sets etc... There's no way someone is giving out 6 tap & dies sets for Christmas.
