I Didn’t. My Staples Fail"},"content":{"rendered":"

I was really excited about black Friday and the iPad deals at Staples<\/a>. \u00a0There was potential for some real money makers. \u00a0I was thinking I could make about $100 per iPad. \u00a0With Staples I usually buy 2 iPads at a time. \u00a0I’ve heard of others having trouble with Staples if they buy too many iPads. \u00a0So I try to stay low. \u00a0However, for Black Friday I created a Staples Rewards account in my Wife’s name and I was planning on buying 2 with that account and 2 with my account.<\/p>\n

I was all set up and ready to go. \u00a0Thursday morning I wake up at 6:00 am, a little late for me, and I get online and go to Staples. \u00a0Thinking how smart I am because I knew the sales were starting Thursday not Friday. \u00a0Low and behold, I am an idiot because Staples is already out of iPads. \u00a0So much for that great idea. \u00a0Who knew Staples’ Black Friday sale was starting Thursday\u00a0at midnight (i.e. Wednesday night). \u00a0Not me that’s who. \u00a0Live and learn. \u00a0Fortunately, there were other deals out there. \u00a0<\/p>\n

The big one that popped up Friday was Target’s offer for a 20% off promo towards your next purchase if you bought $75 worth of merchandise. \u00a0If you combined that offer with Target’s iPad offer ($150 gift card) you would be looking good on your next resale\u00a0purchase from target.<\/p>\n

Another good offer was $125 off iPads at Best Buy. \u00a0I bought 2 128GB Air 2 models. I should make about $30 per iPad. \u00a0Nothing great but also not bad.<\/p>\n

Finally, my favorite deal of the day had nothing to do with resale. \u00a0Saks Off 5th was having a fantastic deal on suits and other clothing. I ended up buying 3 suits and a coat for $750. \u00a0That was about $1700 off the full retail price. \u00a0I am super happy about that one. \u00a0Tempting to sell those if I didn’t need them for the day job.<\/p>\n

All in all it wasn’t a bad day, but man I wish I got in on the Staples deal. \u00a0I am hoping they will get more inventory this week and the sale continues for a little longer. \u00a0We shall see.<\/p>\n

**UPDATE**<\/p>\n

Well, I may have struck out on black Friday but Staples briefly had more iPad’s available for Cyber Monday. \u00a0I was able to grab two. \u00a0Went for two more on my wife’s account but were out yet again. \u00a0At least I got something.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
