Rationale is the last thing it has anything to do with at this point. Ask benji, he may know the history better than I do. But basically stores make a few big ticket items super cheap so they sell and make massive profits all in a weekend or so. Its insane and really unless theres something specific you see in the ad, its not worth the crowd fights. Just today i didnt leave my house and got a new digital camera for my girl that retail is 130, actually sells for about 90-100, and then 40 more bucks off...so yeah. Screw it.
