Hi.

From my previous experiences, Future Shop does increase the price on
most of the products on Boxing Day.  In fact the christmas special
price tags say that the prices are effective until December 24.  It
seems that they take the advantage of consumer orgy on Boxing Day.

Last year, the Digital Camera I bought... a week before boxing day...
the price blew up by $30 (~15% of special price) on boxing day;   yet
what a line of customers...  I saw a line of customers waiting outside
to get into the stores... to buy something more expensive... cheaper
if they did buy a week ago... why not... they didn't have to line up
as well... for no reason.

If you are interested, check it out by urself.  I will be probably
taking the prices down in my notes and then post the results later...
after Boxing Day... and indeed.............
