The Sky is Falling......
Normally, sometime during the summer, Best Buy offers dramatic price reductions on LCD monitors. August 7, 2007, I purchased a Westinghouse 22" widescreen for $179.95. Normal year round selling price is about $250.00, even on line.
My concern this year is whether the falling value of the dollar and shipping costs would offset typical summer bargains, and actually cause rising prices in the fall.
Or, if realizing that nobody has as much "disposible" income, the dealers and manufacturers stage even bigger price reductions to keep cash flow going, or from flowing to someplace else.
You know the US dollar is in trouble when people from Europe are coming to America for shopping bargains. But, eventually it seems a weak dollar will drive at home prices up rather than down.
